Because I wanted to watch the second part, I deliberately watched the first part first, and I have to say, the first part sucks! The plot has no plot, nor is it terrifying, but it leaves a large number of logical loopholes. But after watching the second one, I suddenly felt that the first one didn't seem so bad. It's not that the second part is worse, but that the second part is so good that many things in the first part are explained clearly, and the plot and horror aspects are much better than the first part!
The second is actually a prequel to the first, telling the birth of the terrifying doll Annabelle. A couple lost their dearest daughter. The scene of her daughter's death should not be too neat and tidy. I like it very much! Later, because they wanted to see their daughter, they recruited an evil spirit and possessed the doll. At first, the spiritual power was not strong, but then it became more and more rampant, causing destruction everywhere, and even scratching half of his wife's face. , they had to seal up the doll. Twelve years later, several little girls from the orphanage came to live in their house, accidentally undid the seal, the doll came out again, and killed both the couple, possessed a little girl, and then escaped to the orphanage. In the courtyard, he was adopted by the male and female neighbors in the first part.
Although the first film was not brilliant, the male and female protagonists are actually quite good and not annoying, but the female protagonist of this film, that lame little girl, is really back to every horror movie. The heroine's routine! If she was curious about the note and broke into the room at first, it would make sense, but later, knowing that something was wrong with the room, she kept running into it. The owner of the house told her not to go. Don't have to go! The good friend felt that something was wrong and ran away in fear, and she still had the courage to stay there! When I saw her fall from the upstairs, I really enjoyed it: it fell well! If you do this, you won't hit anyone! But then he didn't die! Really, it didn't fall to death, bad review!
We can see that the terrifying doll is a limited edition, only 100 pieces. At first, the evil spirit was possessed by the doll, and later it turned into the appearance of the couple's daughter and appeared in the house from time to time. And the ghost of their daughter spit something into the lame girl's mouth, so the evil spirit that first possessed the doll, and then transferred to the lame girl, and the lame girl's legs are no longer lame. At this time, the doll is really useless, and will not be a demon anymore. In the first part, the possessed lame girl committed suicide, and the blood dripped into the rag doll, so the evil spirit returned to the rag doll through the drop of blood. In other words, the transfer of evil spirits is through liquid! At first it was spit black things, and then it was dripping blood.
This also answers the question of the first part. The rag doll is not a ghost if you buy it, but because the girl next door committed suicide, and the blood drips into it and has a ghost. But in the first part, what happened to Anna's suicide after killing her parents has not yet been said. In the first part, it was said to be a religious activity, and it was said to be summoned, but what exactly was summoned was still not explained! I really don't understand, you are an evil ghost who successfully possessed a girl, why don't you live well, you have to be a monster, you have to go and kill your adoptive parents, and you have to wait for 12 years. Does it hurt? If you don't kill your parents and live well, no one will say anything about you? As a result, he committed suicide after killing his parents, returned to the body of the rag doll, and had to find a substitute again!
Yes, I guess it is actually looking for a substitute! A stand-in like a lame girl, so that she can be attached to her body and live for her. In the first part, it only said that it wanted a soul, and did not say what it wanted to do, which made people feel far-fetched, but this part tells you the answer to the first part, it is to come to possess. Because Anna committed suicide, the evil spirit that possessed Anna's body returned to the rag doll's body, so the rag doll had to find a substitute again. When a person dies, the evil spirit can come out of the rag doll and possess the body of the doll. For the dead man, live for him. As for Anna's good life, why did she kill her parents and then commit suicide, I still don't understand.
But in fact, it is just my guess that it is looking for a substitute. In the second part of the possession, the evil spirit turned into a dead daughter and spit black water into the mouth of the lame girl. At that time, the lame girl was still alive! In the first part, the ragdoll needs a soul and a person to die. If he wants to be a substitute, it seems a bit unreasonable. After all, he can live, so why should he die? So I don't know what it's going to do.
The dead daughter ghost in the film is of course not their daughter. If it was their daughter, even if she died, she wouldn't cheat her parents, right? Her death was purely an accident, can't blame her parents? But she directly killed both parents, and they all died so miserably! So she is not a dead daughter at all, but an evil spirit who doesn't know what the hell, turns into the appearance of their dead daughter and wanders around the house. It was sealed by the couple, escaped again, and killed the couple for revenge!
In addition, there is a nun ghost in the film. From the horrible appearance in the photo at the beginning, to the various appearances later, what happened to her? What happened to her and why she came here to harm people, I am afraid her story can only be known in "The Nun". And the scarecrow that was tied up was exactly the same as his wife's death posture. They were all hung up. Whether it was another ghost or not, we have no way of knowing.
In other words, there are actually three ghosts in the house, one is a ghost who turns into the dead daughter of the couple for a while, and another is an evil spirit who is possessed in a rag doll, one is a nun ghost, and the other is a scarecrow ghost. In other words, a ghost can have different forms, and a nun, a deceased daughter, and a scarecrow are all its different forms.
Although this one explains the birth of the rag doll, the rag doll is actually innocent, and the real damage is the evil spirit possessed in the rag doll! And the life experience of this evil spirit is not explained in the film. Maybe there is a next chapter, the prequel of the prequel, to explain the life experience of this evil spirit?
Although this one is not much better than the first one, there are still many problems that have not been explained clearly. Like how did the evil spirits come about? For example, is the dead daughter, the nun, and the scarecrow one ghost or three ghosts? For example, after 12 years of adoption, Annabelle suddenly started killing people and committing suicide, and why didn't she kill during the 12 years in between? For example, what is the purpose of killing a rag doll and taking away a soul? If it was possessed, it would be fine if it was possessed by the black girlfriend, why is it still in the body of the rag doll... There are many, many more.
Although the plot is still relatively simple, it is much better than the first one. The structure of the house, all kinds of scary bridges, I also really like it! Finally, adding the ragdoll prototype in the real event also shows the intentions of the main creators. Those complaining dolls are too ugly, how can people love them, you really don't need to pay attention to this detail, dolls are also a kind of art, in fact, there is also a kind of alternative beauty.
I feel that I can still look forward to the next one. This series seems to be already following the "Hidden" routine and playing brain-burning plots. The new filming later should be able to explain the loopholes in the previous two films, so I will quietly Just wait and see what kind of surprise Wen Ziren will give me. After all, there are "Chainsaw" and "Hidden" ahead, I can still look forward to it.
On the whole, as soon as this one appeared, it instantly raised the first one to a higher level! The camera changes in this one are very characteristic, and the music no longer has the texture of a cheap horror movie like the first one. Overall, it is much better than the first one. After watching it, I couldn't help but look forward to "The Nun". .
My favorite in my life is horror movies. The first movie I watched in the cinema in my life was a domestic horror movie. Although it sucks, watching it with my boyfriend is also a pleasure! I hope that every time I go to the cinema in the future, I will see good horror films, and they are in 3D versions. It has always been my wish to watch good 3D horror films in the cinema! It's a pity that there haven't been many opportunities in the past few years. Either the horror movies are too bad, or the good-looking horror movies have not been introduced. It's really speechless! ! ! This one is, um, pretty good.
