"The Exorcist", "Jaws", "The Omen", and "The Wind and Wind" are all well-known masterpieces of horror film fans. This set of "Bloodlight Ghost Killing Knife" is relatively easy to be ignored. The "shocking endings" of "Ghost Eyes" and "Uninvited Fear" are popular, but in fact, this film was filmed as early as 36 years ago. The "appearance" of "Little Red Riding Hood", coupled with the actor's flashback memories, can definitely shock the audience and horrify the audience.
The Hong Kong translation of the film is "Bloodlight Ghost Shadow Killing Knife", and the mainland or Taiwan translation is "Venice Suspicious", but it is not as "to the flesh" as the original name "Don't Look Now". The film begins with a tragedy: the protagonist John (played by Nu Xiudalan) is an expert in repairing ancient buildings. He had an ominous premonition while watching the slides, but the omen brought a real tragedy—the little daughter accidentally outside the house. Drown. In order to calm the grief in his heart, John and his wife came to Venice, the water town, and he also built a series of dilapidated churches in this classical lost city to numb himself with work, while his son stayed in England. However, the husband and wife have been unable to provide comfort to each other because of the heavy loss, and no matter how intense the friendship is, the passion that has been extinguished cannot be ignited. The sex scene in the film, cut by montage, is full of sadness and poignancy, and is also a classic in the same passage. When the feelings are gone, strange things gradually occupy the lives of the two: the strange psychic sisters, the appearance of "Little Red Riding Hood" again and again, the accidents that almost killed the protagonist, and the bad omens that are present... All of this haunted John like a shadow that couldn't go away in this ancient city.
Venice in the film is shaped like a living ghost. The arches, buildings and gloomy water under the lens resemble the eyes of demons. The film is interspersed with many unknown plots, but at the same time it adds to the uneasiness of the film, and also highlights the eerie atmosphere. The above sets are all excellent works, but in terms of the atmosphere throughout the film, the film is actually quite prominent. "The Drive" frightens the audience with a disgusting plot, "Big" makes the audience feel chilled with a nightmare of life, "Ferocious" makes the audience "convinced" with a strong religious taste, and "Yin" is a weird composition with an alternative artistic aesthetic. Image. What this film reveals is a strong sense of fate. It is important for the director to choose this gloomy old town as the background of the story. If the film does not take place in a water town, it may not create such an excellent horror film atmosphere. The appearance of "Little Red Riding Hood" is also a bright spot. A "child" who was originally a fairy tale character, but when you see her jumping around, you will feel a bit cold. The end of the film is a "shocking" ending, which is also open. The origin of the incident depends on the audience's own interpretation, which adds a bit of playfulness.
This is a slow lament that chills and hurts the audience, and it is also a masterpiece that horror film fans can't miss.
