A film that has been delayed for a long time, because I thought I would watch a simple horror film.
First impression after watching it is good. The film looks very innovative, first of all, it is Shyamalan-style suspense, adapting a story of warm growth into a micro-horror psychological drama, and it has met the expectations of the audience. The psychology of the characters goes deeper and deeper with the progression of the plot, reaching a peak of tension. Coupled with the reversal at the end, there is no clear prompt, but there are enough foreshadowings, and the clichés in the plot are successfully resolved.
But through these, the film cannot afford to scrutinize carefully. The advantage of the plot lies in the shaping of anti-fairy tales. The psychic is not the hero who fulfills the wishes of the dead, and the sixth sense is not a good thing. The disadvantage of the plot is also a continuation of the fairy tale. The psychic finally overcomes the fear, and the dead soul also achieves his wish. While giving the closure, it brings inspiration and takes away the profound connotation of the film.
There are also more blind jump scares, and the timing is not always right. The audience's expectations were indeed misguided. How cool it was when it was selling off, and how embarrassing it was when it ended. The children's performance was quite good, I guess they were really frightened. The overhead of the setting is also a problem. How does the soul affect the real world? In comparison, I like "Split" more, more pure and more real. However, I still agree with the idea of "The Sixth Sense". Unrelated horrors and fairy tales can collide with such wonderful sparks and make each other interesting.
