Let's call it absurd

At first glance, apart from the music, this film does have many qualities that can’t be called a horror movie. For the gluttons, the bloody handprint with long nails on the bed sheet, the shape of the red-faced and black-body evil spirit. , as well as the gentle old lady who doesn't look like a witch, and her two somewhat funny otaku assistants who are holding strange ghost-testing tools similar to gas masks, the horror atmosphere has relaxed like that.
But I still think it's wonderful, many small details, dialysis of the power of logic. In particular, I read some film reviews and the production team behind the scenes, which made me feel that although this film may be an idle work, it is not lackluster. The male protagonist is in the classroom, the chalk-drawn mask on the background blackboard, and the unknown claw marks on the ceiling~~ Although the quality of the film is not clear and there are too many dark corners, but after a closer look, I think it was taken very carefully.
My favorite part: 1 The scene in the male protagonist's dream when he was a child, the black and white picture, the cute boy sleeps on the bed, in the dream, the evil spirit comes to visit, the slender claws, the figure is hidden in the corner of the room, peeping at it The soon-to-be parasitic physical host. Think about it, when we were young, do we sometimes have such a sense of picture when we fall asleep alone, one light, one dark, one yin and one yang, they are there, watching us grow up and become strong, so they disappear . 2 The hostess heard the sound and broke into the room to check, only a wooden horse rode by a child was left, swaying in the air. This kind of scene is my weakness: rocking old rocking chairs, rocking swings, rocking children's Trojan horses, shuddering in the absence of people. I would definitely not buy this for my kids! ! 3 The male protagonist enters a dream state, and returns to the haunted house after his soul leaves his body. Wow, the highlight of the scene is a family of four, two elderly people and two sisters, all sitting on the sofa together, seemingly warm, but like a puppet wax man As usual, there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth. It is both liked and scared (the movie review said that the foreshadowing may be that my sister was possessed by evil spirits and murdered the whole family, which caused the house to be full of evil spirits) After walking upstairs, I saw the evil spirit's studio, which was equally delightful. Ah, those cute little things, oops, I'd rather be gorgeous and creepy than scary!
