Not as stunning, but still a masterpiece

Friends who like horror movies should be used to it. Every time one or two horror movies with good reputation are released, there will be many people who don't know the truth. In view of the domestic policy of not being able to become elites after the founding of the People's Republic of China, horror films that have never been released in theaters are just a breeding ground for audiences who want to show their fearlessness. And these audiences are in groups of three or five eating hot pot, singing songs, and swiping Wechat and Weibo from time to time. When the scene is dark and the sound effect comes out, it happens to be when they come to message. After the scary moment passed, they slowly raised their heads, glanced at the screen, and threw out a few jokes that they thought were funny, blackening Liu Zichen's color contact lenses bbox, and then indulged in their heroism. Horror movies are like that.

But what's the fun in watching horror movies with the mentality of not being frightened and proud?

I don't know why those "horror movie lovers" who claim that horror movies never scare themselves watch horror movies, just like they can't taste the ups and downs but still call themselves gourmets. Such a "fearless" attribute should be very sad for true horror fans.

Humans are actually very strange. Obviously, fear is a psychological mechanism to avoid danger and improve the survival rate. Why so much emphasis on the value of "boldness"? Many of the death experts in horror films are also, in order to show their courage, they do all kinds of death. If someone wants to take me to some haunted resort, I'm definitely not going, haha.

As for the film, I feel pretty good, the first half is a bit boring, I feel sleepy, and I don't feel that there is too much foreshadowing. The high-energy points are mainly concentrated in the second half, and the scary tactics here have a rare novelty. That's right, what I'm talking about is the color contact bbbox, coupled with the first perspective and the environment at that time, it is very spiritual. However, the subsequent episodes, whether in horror games or pseudo-documentaries from the first perspective, seem to be able to find some roots. For horror movie fans and even horror game fans who watch a lot of movies, it is really not amazing. Compared with the previous voices, they will even be a little disappointed. But I think most people who like horror elements can appreciate the sincerity of this film, instead of blindly emphasizing that they are not frightened.

It is a pity that the film did not dig deep into the plot. The existence of the mental hospital itself is very evil (you are welcome to the Jushan mental hospital), and digging into the history can create a more thoughtful atmosphere, let the People are afraid (here can be compared to the recent Korean film "The Cry").

Even so, the part of the two women in the evil is really wonderful, I think it is a masterpiece in recent years.
