Regarding the "core" of this film, I have seen a lot of people have made a righteous analysis of it, especially pulling out Takagi Masao, ah no, His Excellency Park Chung-hee, and talking about the dark and evil psychosis in the era of Park Chung-hee, who implied the dark and evil in the movie The hospital carried out brutal persecution and massacre of "patients", and then these things were taken into account in the scene of the mental hospital and the encounter of the death squad. To be honest, if this background theme is written well, it can still write good things, silence Ling (game) is a typical example. Although I have to talk about politics in everything Koreans, especially to depict the darkness of politics, thank you for not being sensitive, but the usage here is still innocuous, and it is also useful as a background board. It makes sense. And something like "pseudo-documentary" is also a very good means of expression, but the problem is that "Kunchiyan" takes a subject such as "Haunted Mental Hospital" that can be written in a profound, artistic and connotative way. "Pseudo-documentary" is a very innovative and immersive way of expression. Have you told the story well? No.
If we carefully review what the film is about, we can draw a clear clue: the team members first entered the dungeon and started to set up flags - some members of the team pretended to be ghosts - pretended to be real ghosts - due to various The reason why everyone split up - everyone split up and was gank - the captain stepped forward to send people's heads - over A flag is sprayed on the wall, and if something goes wrong, there is no going back, and finally the person who can run away will come up to give the head. The ghost is the ghost that follows the steps: use different methods to scare people, scare people crazy and then kill them.
There is nothing special about the human side here. The most glorious moment of the death squad is "we quit, let's run", and the rest of the time is ordinary killing and ordinary being fucked by ghosts. And what about the ghost side? I Looking at it all the way, I really didn't see any unified action logic for the ghosts.
If the front is still a normal haunted routine (objects are shifted, no wind is automatic, lights are flickering, the words written are changed, etc.), then the grove is possessed and turns the girl into a combination of Little Grey and MoMo The big-eyed female ghost then started singing rap and what does it have to do with the theme of "mental hospital"? Why are the other ghosts in this film no matter how ugly and vicious they are, they are still serious human faces, and this has caused such an uncanny valley effect. Playing should? Later, the captain took the drone and saw that someone in 402 (should be himself) was hanged. This is a standard "death closed loop" or something like "ouroboros", but this thing is also related to mental illness. What's the connection with the hospital? What's the connection with the big-eyed female ghost Kazlan? No connection, because after all, these three are different gameplays, and now they are all packed into one film, giving people the feeling that they are ghosts (screenwriter/director) ) racking his brains to scare people to death - isn't that "horror for terror's sake"? And "deliberate terror" isn't a laudable term.
The story line is nothing new, how is the immersion of the film? Not so good, the only place where I was scared in the whole film is the part where the female ghost is possessed. To be honest, from the closed eyes Zhixian suddenly Switching to the big-eyed female ghost with broken thoughts at the bottom of the horror valley really caused a certain degree of fright to my soul, but although this kind of fright can frighten a newbie like me, I think it must not frighten horror movies. The old bird, after all, this is the most common kind of jump scares, jumping out suddenly to scare you and give you a thrill. What about other than this kind of stimulation? No. Because I am the real person in this work I can't get into it... The people inside can't do anything else. Running in a panic and screaming is a great match. At this time, I don't think "Wow, they must have encountered something terrible", but "These idiots, don't you know that the more messy it is, the easier it is to do bad things?". When I thought "I'm smarter than the actors", the horror atmosphere disappeared more than half of the truth.
And the only scary atmosphere left, that is, the big-eyed Bbox female ghost, has a fatal flaw. As I mentioned at the beginning, this section has nothing to do with the plot and theme of the whole film. The scene of turning into a ghost can make sense in any horror episode of "Two Walking Together". If you have to talk about the connection, it is "The chest and abdomen high opening cabinet" "Zhixian was caught with blood stains" "Zhixian and Charlotte's Walk" "Ji-hyun turns into a ghost" "Attack (who was with Ji-hyun before) Charlotte's naked man also has wounds on his chest" is strung together, but to be honest, it's too convoluted, and What is so unique about that naked man in that large group of mental patients besides having a doll? This is even more unexplained, knowing that there is an explanation/more prominent hint and the feeling of piecing together the clues after finishing the work is completely different.
And the feeling of this film to me is that it's too rushed - or that sentence, the characters here have never calmed down to think about the problem (when they are quiet, they are almost going to be haunted), and they are confused at the end. Confused, everyone has returned to the west. In this way, not only is there a problem with the sense of substitution, but also the character building is completely scrapped. In the end, except for the feeling that the captain left me with a feeling of "needing money or not dying", there is basically nothing left. Sung Hoon and Seung Wook are the two ghosts in the early stage. The difference in character created is that money and life are compared to the time scale. Ji Yun and Ya Yeon are two passers-by. When others were in distress, these two were safe here. Bulb saw the lock, oh yes, Ji Yun is a timid, but this "timid" is completely useless, in the end, there is almost no difference between him and Ya Yan who is not so timid. Ji Hyun is very strange, When someone else died, there was still a description. This one was directly slapped on the body without even a single shot. When he turned around, he was already a ghost. As for Charlotte, this person is very contradictory. You said she went to that old man before. If there are some supernatural places, is it really supernatural, or is there no supernatural? You have to say no, then how does she know that the props cannot move around, and she still remembers it so unforgettable? If there is really supernatural, how much should she know about supernatural events? It's a bit of a concept, so why does she have to start screaming as soon as she is haunted? She also shouts so loudly, just like a vase woman in a popcorn movie who only screams when she is in danger.
Moreover, the people in the film have no blood in the face of supernatural phenomena (there is a lot of courage to be greedy for money), you said that if Charlotte saw her companion who turned into a ghost and a naked man, she knew that she would be doomed, In the end, if you fight to the death, no matter whether you live or die, can you see and feel a lot better? I know that this is indeed a bit difficult for a strong man. After all, the protagonist group is just a group of cowards five, but if it can be done that way, it will definitely be much better, after all, "human beings" A hymn is a hymn of courage" Well. If you think about it in this way, you can come to an obvious conclusion. The protagonists in this film are the ants who are tricked by the evil spirits at will, and they are as humble as dust. Horror is very boring - any work is boring on one side, if horror works want to show horror, it should also be the horror that human beings face after resisting.
And the behavior of the ghosts is also very strange. In this film, there is obviously something like the ghost of the "dean", which is a hint of ping pong. But why is it "the ghost of the dean" and "the ghost of the patient" How about working together to make a human being? The ghost circle also needs to be consistent with the outside world? In the film, it can be seen that the director tried very hard to express the miserable situation of the ghosts in details through details, and then after the arrival of the protagonist group, all the resentment was detained to them. On the head. To be honest... it's too vulgar, you said that you have stuffed their enemies in, or the traditional evil spirits, it feels a bit wasteful to tell the truth. And although the director made a lot of hints in the details But if you really want the audience to have a real feeling, you have to rely on a certain level of interaction, preferably someone who has some kind of contact with the ghost, rather than simply "you break into my territory and I'll die." You" such a nutritious relationship.
The superficial things are gone, so what about the connotation of this film? After all, Jiang Wen's evil is not overpowering, and the plot is not good, but it can still make people analyze its "connotation" and "metaphor", which is also a kind of ability. How is Kunchiyan's performance in this regard? Not so good, this film is to scold two generations of Da Da leaders, Park Taiyang is poisonous, and oppresses the people; Miss Park believes in cults, Shiyue number, Then I rubbed these elements and made up a "Park leader used the mental hospital to brutally persecute the people. After Zai Gyu shot the sun, the director killed all the 'patients' in order to hide the public's eyes and ears, and then he committed suicide, leaving only countless people left. Wraiths and evil spirits are wandering in the ruins of the mental hospital", and also linked the dean and Miss Park, linking the mental hospital and the Shiyue. The above talk is a little off, hoping to demonize the object of criticism and complete historical criticism? No. Not to mention that the entire film is only implied and criticized, and there is no "praise" - after all, the protagonist The regiment was destroyed without any bright spots, so where do you place the 6.29 declaration, the milestone of the Korean people's struggle for democracy? This is not to say that during the two generations of Park Dae-chi, you did not dare to speak directly, but had to use your works. Expose and criticize, please, it was already 2018 when the film was released. It has been almost forty years since Park Gaka died, and Miss Park has already entered the classroom. You are still here to "expose" and "criticize". Warm posture.
In short, the director thought a lot in this film, and it is a mental hospital (speaking of which, even if this film is replaced with other copies, there is no difference in the big picture. "Sadistic" is more in line with the deep theme of this article scolding Er Pu). It is also a pseudo-documentary, and it is also a fake documentary, and it is a secret scolding of the Park family, but in the end, the level of the things shown is really average. The episode "Ji Hyun turns into a ghost", which is not closely related to the theme, is quite scary.
