The sense of cheapness is the fundamental essence of creating fear, because the more people-friendly and life-like horror atmosphere it shows, the more it will win the audience's love.
And it does not rely on word-of-mouth and ratings to live. It is like a second kick. After listening to it, the audience will not buy your account. Looking back at the history of Chinese and foreign films, this type of film has never relied on awesome money-burning production or thought-provoking philosophical concepts to move people.
Almost all successful cases rely on rough and cheap look and feel, causing strong psychological pressure and conquering the audience.
Hitchcock, Takashi Shimizu, Takashi Miike, David Lynch, Cronenberg, James Wyn, Polanski, Kubrick, Ridley Scott, Peter Jackson, Rodriguez. None of these people got their start without cheap horror movies. That sense of cheapness is innate, and even at the beginning, due to the tight budget, I had to play with the shooting method of chicken thieves, and finally became a unique artistic style.
The more you make a horror movie, the more you can see where the money is being spent, the less effective it will be. Even if you spend a lot of money, it can't be seen that you spent money.
Just like this film, "The Nun", the light and shadow are very particular, and there is even a lot of natural light waiting to come out. The art scene is so good that it makes people mistakenly think that they are watching "The Da Vinci Code". The Catholic cultural heritage is quite strong, and he must have done a lot of research. The actors and actresses are all online. The best thing is that he didn't make the mistake of talking nonsense. As far as this team is concerned, if this is a historical biopic, I dare not say that it is a big hit at the box office, and it is no problem to be on the cover of "Universal Screen".
Walking on the road today, I have been thinking about why this is because of the lack of that cheap sense of full life, which makes people feel as if they have never seen it after reading it.
