This is the correct way to open a horror movie. There is no excessively bluffing music, no eerie and eerie style of painting, only peaceful narratives and normal life scenes. Use a normal rhythm to tell about the abnormal signs of the child, and then go to the doctor, the diagnosis and treatment, the more serious; Note, this time is already serious enough to understand and unreasonable, (the bed is shaking weirdly and violently) At this time, the doctor is unable to use human beings. In the case of medical explanation, exorcism is recommended, and the mother is informed that this is an outside chance, but it is possible to give it a shot. Only then did our protagonist, the exorcist, use the stylized ritual to drive away the invading spirit. In the end, the exorcist successfully used the shock treatment described by the doctor to expel the demon, but at a heavy price. The girl was saved, but definitely not by force of suggestion, but by the power of faith in God. The director's thinking is very clear. Before exorcism, a lot of foreshadowing is to tell the audience that the whole event is orderly, credible, and logical. The audience follows the director's narrative step by step to enter the final climax of the showdown between Jesus Christ and Demon. Horror at this time is a psychological horror from the heart. This is something that ordinary horror movies can't do. In ordinary horror movies, the audience actually always hints that what they see is not true, it is themselves scaring themselves, it is the director's trick, but high-quality horror movies, the audience There will be a natural transition from seeing to believing. You are an atheist and you too will be immersed in miracles. This is supported by a strong narrative structure. The girl will not forget the pain of purgatory, but perhaps face life again, perhaps because of her love for her mother, she said she lost the memory. The kiss the priest at the end of the film illustrates this kind of white lie. The kind child who knows gratitude and love in her heart has survived the nightmare pain, but the demon left a deep mark on her face, which makes people shudder. I personally think this film is a landmark work in horror movies, and no one has surpassed it so far, even the portrayal of the villain's psychology is unmatched.
