It's actually not as scary as everyone thinks.

[Spoilers] It's actually quite shocking to see so many people in the comments say it looks good. I am a person who loves watching horror movies, and I have watched a lot of horror movies, so when I saw the first half of the movie, I was willing to believe that there were ghosts. But because I accidentally caught a glimpse of someone saying that there are no ghosts in this movie before watching the movie, so when I watched the plot, I felt that it was a little hard to accept that there were no ghosts.

I don't know if you have seen the film Housebound, the Chinese translation name should be staying at home . I watched it without leaving home, so halfway through the film, I had the idea of ​​"could it be that someone lives in the wall again". I seem to have accidentally spoiled two movies. But to be honest, I only watched this one. Those who haven't watched it at home can try it out. That film is a bit bloodier, but it's actually better than this one in terms of plot settings.

The reason why these two films are compared is obvious, because the houses that look haunted are actually because of the fact that there are people in the walls. The heroines of the two films have their own styles, but they both got rid of the routine of the heroines in the past horror films, the whole process of being a fool. The female protagonist who stays at home is a fierce type, and this one in the spirit puppet contract is a smooth sailing type. So it can be said that at least watching two films, do not feel disgusted.

Before continuing to comment on this film, let me first say that compared to Japanese or Thai horror films, I prefer European and American horror films. I can accept the blood, and it is not necessary to be too bloody. Compared with the setting without ghosts, I prefer the setting with ghosts. Compared with the ending where everyone influences the ghost, I prefer the ending where everyone eliminates the ghost. If it is all dead, or if it seems that everyone escaped but in fact can never get rid of it, because a lot of filming has been done, it is difficult to avoid the routine.

Having said my preferences, I will move on to the film.

The best reviews I've seen before watching this film are that it's well-paced, unconventional, and tense throughout. I think the rhythm is okay, the heroine has a bad ex-boyfriend setting, and the heroine slips through the tire so she has different feelings for porcelain dolls. It's more common here, and the heroine thinks the ghost in the house did it for herself Sandwich, so the whole person is laughing wildly there, which is rather abrupt. I don't know why her reaction is like this. And on the other hand, because the heroine wanted to prove that there is a soul in the doll, she deliberately left the doll alone in the room, and I will see if she will move this in a while. Think about it, if you use a wall later If someone here explains it, it is inevitable that the man is running around very hard to move the doll, and he also has to consider the question of where to put the doll this time... Isn't it a bit funny? So I think it might as well be a ghost, and when the heroine's ex-boyfriend appeared later, it really angered the doll.

Of course, what makes this film unconventional is that there is no turning back, and there are no scenes that are common in ghost movies about dolls, such as the sudden movement of the doll's head and the sudden movement of the eyes. It's not stressful the whole time.

People who feel that this film is scary, either because of the effect of the cinema, or because they don't watch too many ghost movies.

In short, the heroine is my favorite actor, that's all~
