The film tries to develop a complete story from the inspiration of the original, but the writing is slightly messy. For example, the father's investigation, the mother's experience, and the revealed "Diana is a parasite in the mother's mind" are all relatively blunt and old-fashioned. So when I watch it, I feel a little messy. This film, which is under the name of Wen Ziren but is actually only produced by him, still has a certain gap in narrative line and structure from Wen Ziren's works.
I like the setting of "monsters that exist only in the dark". The preview of the film is also enlarged to whet people's appetite. But the film doesn't do enough to create the monster image. Maybe for financial reasons. Otherwise, Diana's image can be deeply shaped by giving a complete story to her, so as to give people a deeper feeling and more understanding. Instead of just taking a picture and a few lines, I don't know how others feel... I feel that Diana walking in the dark is just a weird aunt who loves to bully friends and children -_-||. . .
I thought of an in-game plot that someone may have heard of. It is a plot involving Nightingale in the Thieves Guild in The Elder Scrolls 5. Nightingale are thieves who believe in the god of shadows, and they have a dogma of "walking in the dark". And this plot impresses me the most—although like most games, a background will be given before each task to introduce what this task is from and why it is done, but its entire The background is all a foreshadowing: it tells you that the god of shadows protects you, may you be with the shadows. Then in the following tasks, give you a very strong echo. If you keep pressing the back of the mouse while you are looking at the backgrounds in front of you, you will be confused... You have to turn off the lights to pass a door, you have to worship the statues in the shadows, the most impressive thing to me is a maze, which consists of A maze of light and shadow. Here you need to avoid all the light sources to pass, otherwise you will die. But no one taught you to do this before, and I was deeply shocked when I suddenly realized how all this was related to the previous one. Because the things that I didn't care about before are the foreshadowing here, and the foreshadowing is buried deep and heavy.
In fact, I think the need for horror movies is this subtle foreshadowing.
like a curse. Why does Gamako make a "ge ge ge" sound when it appears? It might sound a little awkward at first, but if you know her story, you'll understand that it was the irresistible sound of her throat when her husband stomped her head on the ground.
Another example is the Thai version of Ghost Shadow, where many scenes are subtly paving the way for the last scene, from what the female ghost seems to be looking for, to the pain in the male protagonist's neck, to the little monk's bizarre vision and bizarrely big Counting the weight of the female ghost, and then to the revelation of the truth about the female ghost, all the clues were finally linked together, and the puzzle was revealed. When the last scene came out, everyone felt a deep chill (hey, do you think your neck is sore? )
All in all, the ghost female (male) protagonist in the more successful ghost films will have a story that foreshadows it. How to explain these things clearly, whether there is depth, and whether it can scare the audience, depends on the work of the director of the ghost movie.
PS: The heroine is really getting old too fast, from the warm body to this piece, I don't even recognize it.
