The narrative is straightforward, pushing events to the end in chronological order, without reversing. The director likes to use long takes to add to the atmosphere. There are two story lines at the beginning, a haunted family of seven (the names are too hard to remember, so I simply don’t remember them, but fortunately the plot is relatively simple, I can recognize people by their faces) and the exorcist couple, a family of three, a family of seven moved Entered a villa in the mountains (almost spent all their savings from bank auctions), thought it was a new beginning, but first all the clocks inexplicably stopped at 3:07 in the morning every day, and then a child often Sleepwalking to hit the closet, a child would be dragged by something while sleeping, and his wife would be bruised for no reason. In the middle of the night, the photos fell off the wall, and the wife was dragged into the basement and locked there until they found the exorcism. A couple, two storylines merged.
The most obvious flaw of the movie is that the background introduction of ghosts is too vague, and I have only mentioned it in one stroke, so I only know that the house is haunted because people are dead, I remember the sentence "Witches believe in killing children, Satan will give them power. "Such words, because of this sentence I understand the ending. It is said that it is a horror movie. In fact, there are more elements of horror, and there is no such thing as a psychological shadow. The ghosts in the movie are not terrible. The scary thing is that the camera suddenly shows a bloody face. Compared with "Silent Hill 1", this movie is more interesting. Although the plot of the conjuring is simple and old-fashioned, it still makes people feel that it will not be boring (mainly because the scaring scenes are arranged more adequately), and director Wen Ziren can indeed do it (but The Soul Conjuring series has released three films, and the more and more they are shot, the more rubbish they are, and the ratings have been on a downward trend). There is also a place where the film is very scary: "This film is based on real events" that appears at the beginning of the film, and it also mentions that the characters in the film are historically real. 7.9 points
