Last night, I watched Dead Silence, which is said to be 'very scary', and found that the stereotyped plot was really nauseating. I felt that all the horror plots were guessed, and the suspenseful 'perfect doll' at the end was the highlight.
And many people in Phantom Fierce also say that he is not scary, but I feel quite intimidating. Knowing that something that might appear has really appeared, the difference is that the director uses the protagonist's one-man show to make these horrors more tangible on his chest.
Fragmented with restlessness and despair, we atheists and ghosts don't just want to ask ourselves: Are we the Mike Enslin of "The Phantom"? Holding a heart of disbelief, but step by step toward despair?
Many people say that Olin is the murderer, the mastermind behind all this. In my opinion, that's not the case. I think this 1408 is a real 'phantom evil room'. You may think that Olin doesn't seem to want him to enter the real world but wants Mike to enter 1408. In fact, you can think of it the same way: Olin really doesn't want him to enter, and the wine does not It's not the deranged wine in everyone's mind, but the moment Mike stepped into 1408, the Phantom Fierce Room had already begun to strike the spirit of those who entered. After the promised 60 minutes, when Mike finally got through step by step, he received a call from Olin saying that there were only 2 ways: one is to continue for the next 60 minutes, and the other is to commit suicide and check out. At that time Mike was probably insane, he thought it was Olin's ghost, and Phantom Fierce came up with such a phone call according to what he had in mind. All of this is actually just a fantasy created by the ghosts in the ghost room.
What does the phantom murderer rely on to kill? From the movie, we can see that the phantom can't carry out physical attacks, it can only mentally destroy people and make people despair and commit suicide. In the end Mike set fire to the room and himself, thinking he didn't lose. But in fact he lost, so to speak, it was the phantom that forced him to feel trapped in an infinite loop and set himself on fire. The people in the phantom and murderous room have another way to die, and they set themselves on fire in 1408.
At the end of the story, when Olin played Mike's tape recorder and listened to it, he was also shocked when he heard the voice of Mike talking to his daughter. According to my estimation, Olin actually thought 1408 was a deranged room at first, but at this moment he learned from Mike's recording that the ghost in the ghost room is real.
The whole movie is simply divided for me, except for the theme of "rethinking deeply in the phantom and understanding the truth of being a human being", we can look at it like this for horror and suspense:
Mike surfing and hitting his head → Mike received 1408's postcard sent by fans
→ Mike enters 1408 Olin wants to stop → Mike enters 1408 →
Mike fights with the ghost's mental attack → Mkie is insane and thinks he has walked out of the illusion →
Mike returns to the illusion between the phantoms and the phantom in the illusion → Mike is desperate, Forced to self-immolate →
Olin sent a tape recorder to Mike's wife, she didn't accept it → Olin was shocked when he heard the recording →
Olin saw a ghost vision (the ghost is not destroyed, 1408 is still going)
Hey, do you want to live in 1408?
