bit by bit

Recently, the short comments are always not enough to write, only one or two words are exceeded. If you have to count me as a long comment, in fact, I only mention it in bits and pieces.

I watched two horror movies recently, and my friends said they were good, which made my heart itch. But I really don't feel this kind of thing that frightens people by turning off the lights and turning the camera suddenly. I haven't been afraid of it since junior high school. I'm helpless.

Compared with "Dead Silence", this "The Conjuring" is an exorcism story anyway, which can make me a little interested, probably because this type of film is "investigating cases" and "solving puzzles" in a supernatural background. I think of John Constantine. Before the new 52, ​​the comics were called Hellblazer, hell communicator, or hell walker, but the mainstream translation has always been "hell detective". It can be seen that exorcism-related stories are indeed accompanied by "detective". It means that I like detective films rather than exorcism films. It is fine to "detect" people and "detect" ghosts. This reminded me that if you want to accompany others to watch horror movies, you might as well choose Lin Zhengying and the like.

Finally, let's talk about this movie. I'm not interested in thrillers, so naturally I can't give a high score; plus there are too many characters in the less than two hours, so that there are not many three-dimensional ones; the last "True Love Invincible" exorcism is really old-fashioned; To protect non-believers, you have to go through complicated requests, exchanging faith for salvation, but not earning faith without salvation. This kind of arrogance is really annoying, and it is even more so for me, who grew up in Journey to the West, and has a life-saving idea in my heart. Unacceptable to the people of the Monkey King. Passing points, no more.

    The expectation was too high, the forecast was too scary (many of the scary points actually had no follow-up development, and the scare passed), and the ghost of the feature film almost never showed his face. After watching it, I always thought that I saw a deletion that could be broadcast to teenagers. The reduced version, the silence and lurking are so good. These are the reasons why this new work cannot be given five stars. This time I watched it on a huge screen that was about to catch up with IMAX, and I didn’t even get scared.

    Watching this first encounter without sleeping in the middle of the night... Exorcist, the small-cost film is just to say when I was so courageous!
