But there are many problems with the film (there are spoilers below, please avoid it yourself):
1. The style is obviously out of touch. In order to be more loyal to the genre, the first paragraph should really do more foreshadowing of murder myths to bring in the atmosphere of supernatural power, but Obviously, the first 40 minutes of the finished film are always positioned in the suspense and thriller genre, so when the director throws out ghosts and spirits, the audience is easily forced and feels ridiculous;
2. In order to mislead the audience, the most typical examples are the Japanese and Bai Guang. The partnership of the mage (the name in my impression, right or not), it can be seen from the back that the demon is much weaker during the day than at night. Shooting down cliffs, etc., then based on this, why did Master Baiguang want to play up the statement that the Japanese are demons to the male protagonist in the mid-term, and it did cause the demons to be attacked during the day. If it is a meaningful thing to do with the demons The audience can understand the trap, but the problem is that from the results, this behavior is not beneficial to the two of them... There are too many plots with similar purposes, so I won't list them one by one. So this is just a series of misguided attempts for the sake of suspense...
3. The script is too complicated, so that it can't accommodate all the expressions that should be accommodated in two and a half hours. This script is actually more The range is suitable for TV series, the stuffing is big and the skin is small.
Advantages: photography, performance, the first 40 minutes (so wonderful, everyone is vivid and three-dimensional with just a little pen and ink).
Finally, I have some opinions about the purpose of the devil. According to our traditional Chinese saying, this is corpse refining. The bait is not to slaughter the village, but to find a suitable host. To put it bluntly, it is a special character, of course. Maybe South Korea lacks systematic knowledge in this regard, so the film doesn't know how to explain it clearly (they really should go to Tianya's lotus plant to read more novels)... and Master Baiguang belongs to the devil's attendant, an admirer, a real entity of people who want to evolve. All in all, it's still overrated...
