First of all, the conclusion is scary, but it cannot become a classic.
The director's narrative rhythm and technique, that is, the storytelling skills, is very good, which is why there is a feeling of fullness when watching the movie. In a genre with a relatively low average level of horror movies, this can be done well. It can already beat most similar movies. If you add the protagonist's IQ online, there is no doubt about the high box office and word of mouth.
And that compactness comes at the expense of the background. In horror films with visual impact as the primary goal, it may be difficult to take into account the construction of background stories to ensure the coherence of continuous high-intensity horror imagery. So whether the background is really so important for horror films, I personally think it is very important.
If a grimace or a deformed monster brings high burst damage, a background story that can take root in the audience's mind is a continuous output, which is the source of the often-mentioned fear and contemplation. A good background is a story that represses, abuses the heart, brings strong negative emotions and shatters the audience's fragile emotions. Why is Godzilla, who can eat people, not as scary as ghosts, ghosts are changed by humans, and the source of all terror is the terror of human nature.
For example, in "Midnight Bell", Sadako lived underground for 30 years. In "The Shining", it was found that the manuscript written by her father day and night was actually only one sentence. The doctor who fed his wife's corpse in a bath for three years in Geng... Take the recent "Zhongxie" as an example. Suppose that the anti-feudal superstition ending with Chinese characteristics is removed, and one kicks the door open, facing the only The house where the elder sister's body was crying screamed at the elder sister's younger brother. If you can understand it, this is the horror brought by human nature. Before opening the movie, I was full of expectations, hoping to be depressed by a similar story. The director killed all the patients in the mental hospital, which opened the curtain, but it was never closed again.
Finally, when it comes to its visual horror, this form of pseudo-documentary itself is deadly enough for viewers who watch horror movies less. And one of its horror imagery innovations is indeed a surprise in horror films that have almost run out of routines in recent years. That's right , the scene after Park Ji- hyun 's body is possessed. The mental pollution it brings can be comparable to the little girl with a body in reverse in "The Exorcist". She's ready to pick it up and make a text message alert sound haha
