Once there is a "definite presence" in a horror movie, whether it's a ghost or a murderer, I lose interest all of a sudden. Because the rest is nothing more than seeing people slowly being killed or slowly saving themselves, and existence can be eliminated when it is born. In short, as long as I determine what is wrong, I feel that it has nothing to do with me, and I am no longer afraid. The process of revealing the secret of this film was extremely slow, and it was not until the last moment that I learned whether it was a human being or a ghost that scared me. The most worthy of showing and writing is always the unknown itself, because that is the source of human fear. Maintaining the unknown state of the murderous thing, all the sounds in the film, every character, every door that is not opened, every invisible space, every ray of light and every cluster of breaths, are enough to be frightening. Perhaps the horror movies I watched before were too stereotyped, and almost every horror point could be judged through the lens. And as the plot develops, I'm fully aware of what's going to pop up. And this time, there is no real "villain" at all. During the viewing process, I never knew if anything would appear, I didn't know the meaning behind each phenomenon, the radar failed, and instead I met Nicole. Kidman was fully empathetic, half scared to death. So even though this film may not be the best horror movie I've ever seen in terms of sheer scary technique and atmosphere, it's still the worst I've ever been terrified of. Although the biggest highlight of the whole film may be the perspective it chooses, but the corresponding background setting, that is, Nicole and the others can sometimes feel the existence of The Others, sometimes not, and as the protagonist Nicole Kidman, herself There is also no idea of what happened. These two points make the film unintentionally capture the "unknown itself". What shocked me even more was that the ending could still be attributed to warmth. If ghosts are all human-changed, then naturally a large part of them can also preserve human conscience.
