A bland blue collar horror movie

As usual, I found "Dead Souls Box" while wandering the Internet again, and when I saw the cover of the movie, I decided to watch the movie. What is the reason? Because the author is a gamer, the cover of the movie "Dead Souls Box" seems to be exactly the same as the cover of the game "Ward" on NDS, and the official stills are so similar to the stills of "FEAR". I think anyone interested will be looking for a connection, even if it's just a few words.
Although there are not many movie reviews written, this is the first time I encounter this feeling of being unable to write. I feel that this movie is not particularly impressive. The advantage is that you can watch it reluctantly, not like other movies, you don't even want to watch it, and you know what the ending will be after halfway through the movie.
The story is about a box filled with evil spirits trying to use various methods to pin on the host, occupy the host's body and be reborn. The protagonist's little girl's family is a divorced family. Her father is a coach of a basketball team. The mother is a clothing designer, and her father is in the process of divorce. The protagonist will live with her father every weekend with her sister. I found a box by chance. I thought it was just a decoration, but I didn't expect that there were evil spirits in the box, and I was also held by the evil spirits. After my father found it, he hired a master to help exorcise the demons. With the sacrifice of herself and the joint efforts of the whole family, the little girl defeated the evil spirit, and the evil spirit was successfully sealed back into the box. Just when the master led the box to prepare to settle the box, the accident happened again, the master had a car accident, and the box was once again living in the folk.
This movie is generally average, the story is average, and the degree of shock is average. A typical protagonist accidentally acquires an old ancient object, and this ancient object hides a harmful evil spirit, which gradually harms the host and surrounding areas. A story in which the protagonists try their best to fight wits and courage with evil spirits. The story is bland and lethargic, and there are only a few passable scenes until the end of the film, when the evil spirit is about to completely replace the host and the evil spirit crawling out of the body. The movie feels a bit like an old movie "The Exorcist" a few years ago. The protagonist is also a little girl who is also bent over by an evil spirit. The difference is that the latter is a pure horror movie, while the former is more like An ethical drama that expresses family love in a terrifying and bizarre way. That is to say, the protagonist's family was originally in a state of disintegration, and because of the evil spirits, they were closely linked together.
What I have to say is Emma who plays the little heroine in the film: Natasha Callis is very good at acting. She is a little beauty herself. The entanglement and helplessness of time are well interpreted by her. In recent years, the acting skills of these small foreign actors have been amazing, such as Isabelle Foreman, who played Esther in "The Orphan", and Chloe Grace Murray, who played the vampire in "No Ones". Here, Judy Fran, who plays Aresa in "Silent Hill 1", these little beauties' looks and superb acting skills are the biggest highlights of these movies, and their appearance has instantly improved the movie that was not very good. On a level, their outstanding performance is not inferior to some old actors, lamenting that they will have a bright future in the future.
There are also many unclear points in this film, such as the toys in the box do not explain the background, the symbol of the moth in the film, why the teeth are mentioned many times, etc. are not explained. And the little girl's stepfather was completely soy sauce, and he died without any effect. At the beginning of the film, it was suggested that it was based on a real story, to create a terrifying atmosphere for the audience, and the director's interview before the release also described the film as bizarre, and all kinds of strange things happened during the filming process. It adds to the atmosphere of the movie, but these are the usual methods of horror movie directors, just to attract enough attention and attention before the movie is released.
