reincarnation of dreams
Rickey 2022-10-27 19:10:25
It's a weird movie, a group of people hide in a dark room and tell ghost stories, but the atmosphere is different. The horror temperament of this movie is closer to Hitchcock. The paragraph-style plot, although completed by the four directors, has a very coherent atmosphere. What's more, a parody-style supernatural inserted in it is equally creepy. The best part is about the legend of ventriloquist, the puppet used in the film has become a model of British supernatural film and is used frequently by later generations. The ending of the movie is also very good, I don't know if it is the beginning or the end of the dream, everything is reincarnation.
