Some lousy horror films always die in the script, with fixed routines such as "pretending to be mysterious", "self-inflicted", "schizophrenia", and "terrifying", while Chinese director Wen Ziren's horror films can make people all over the world tremble. , part of the reason is because Wen Ziren has integrated a series of supernatural phenomena such as the conjuring of the East and the evil spirits into the huge system of the West, which makes "The Conjuring" and "Dead Silence" have a different taste
The second is not to play cards according to the routine. You never know when and how the ghosts will come out. The movie creates a terrifying atmosphere. 99% of the front is "dangerous", so the characters will definitely step back or divert their eyes. When you turn your eyes away or step back, the "danger" will quietly appear in your next line of sight. In this way, the audience's eyes will be mobilized to the greatest extent. That world can't be separated, which is one reason why Wen Ziren's horror movies are so remarkable
Many horror film directors know how to use "unexpected" ways to scare the audience. Of course, Wen Ziren, in addition to using it, also puts the audience in the position of the role to think about its rationality. For example, the little boy Billy got out of bed to drink water in the middle of the night, and saw Qianqiu swinging outside the kitchen window (one was shaking, the other was still). "Death" behavior.
In the middle of this episode, Billy tripped over a toy car on the way back to his room. He threw the toy car into the tent in the corridor in a rage, and then seemed to notice something abnormal. Five times when I was at ease, I was all stunned.
When it comes to The Conjuring, the best scary point is the clapping behind the basement. "The Conjuring 2" echoes it: when the little girl hides next to the TV, the evil spirit behind her roars in anger.
In terms of innovation, a frightening stalk of "Shadow and Oil Painting Are One" was added.
As far as I am concerned, the parts that were frightened were mainly: evil spirits in front of the mirror, a sudden roar next to the TV, an inverted cross in the room, and ghosts in the water in the basement. "things" is the most intimidating method.
This is also the director's most successful place!
