A few days ago, I finally got the R5 version. The picture is still clear, but the subtitles are not very powerful, and there are many typos. Before watching the film, in order to create a claustrophobic and dark space, I specially locked the doors and windows. After watching the first half of the film, I felt a little restless, so I had to reopen the doors and windows to let some light come in, so that I could keep watching. Fortunately, it was daytime, maybe I don't have the courage to watch it again, the horror is suffocating. The film was shot with a wide-angle lens, which somewhat borrowed from "Smart: Ghost Recording", making the film more realistic and immersive. The sound effects are also very well done, similar to the old-fashioned horror movies like "The Shining", with noisy and noisy cries, squeaks of attic planks, and low and trivial whispers, especially at the end of the film with his back to the corner of the room. The miserable and weird sob of a middle-aged woman on the camera made people shudder, but fortunately she didn't turn her head. The visual of the film is very gothic, but it is different from the American horror and blood. It has a bit of the color of Asian horror films, the phantom shaking outside the window, the twisted old lady in a veil, the old grand clock, the red candle, I want to be there. The original painting must have done a lot of work before the film was shot. There are also passages of psychics in the film. Two psychics use relatively modern tools to hunt ghosts in the house. The somewhat playful dialogue and slightly joyful expressions relieved my nervousness a little bit. In the film, the father's soul goes out of his body to the underworld to find his son's lost soul. The director has created a spiritual world that looks closer to reality and a little weird. Maybe this is another world outlined by the director's heart. The ending of the film still inherits the fine tradition of the chainsaw series, revealing the truth through flashbacks, but the plot of the flashbacks is shorter and more intriguing, and the open ending also brings infinite reverie, but it seems that there is no sequel. plan.
After watching it, I can't calm down for a long time. Maybe it's time to find a comedy to adjust my mood. I think this is another heinous masterpiece after "Orphan Resentment".
