Sex without orgasm.

This should be the first Chinese horror film remade in Hollywood. It feels so-so, without the urge to throw rotten eggs, let alone applauding and offering flowers.

I can still remember the tense nerves when I watched Li Xinjie's version of "Damn" when I was in elementary school. This film is also the only domestic horror film that made me applaud for many years. But now I watched the American version, although the plot is almost the same as the original version, except that China has become the United States and Thailand has become Mexico, but I feel that the plot has been relaxed a lot, and there is no scary scene. According to "Watching a Movie", this The plot of the film is like a sex without orgasm.

The use of colors in the US version also failed. In the original version, the gloomy corridors, the old Thai wooden houses and the black memories of Thai girls...the desperate and depressive gray tone makes people very depressing. In the US version, the director completely subverted the previous color tone and changed the family warmth line, especially in Mexico, where the sun sets and the afterglow covers the entire peaceful and peaceful Mexican village. This scene is so damn harmonious and warm.

Hollywood really shouldn't remake Asian horror movies, because many things are beyond the understanding of Yankees. I think they are better to shoot blood and violence honestly. This should be regarded as a feature of American horror movies.

However, there are still classic shots in this film. For example, Miss Elba sacrificed for art and gave her a bath with her heart. But there is no dew point, so it's pornographic.

In addition, I think Elba’s acting skills are still okay, and she portrays the image of a blind girl in a more delicate manner. It can be seen that she is acting very hard and earnestly.
