"The Conjuring 2" doesn't want to make any big news when making a horror movie, but it just uses all the routines well, making people feel that everything is familiar, but when combined together, it produces an amazing effect. The haunted house, the psychic board, the revolving lantern, the moving furniture, the possessed girl, these props from traditional horror films are like old trees blooming in the hands of Wen Ziren. All are used to the extreme, the effect is vivid, and the color is also vivid. The creation of a terrifying image is always inseparable from the design of makeup. The red-faced devil in the yin's room, and the white-faced black-hatted devil in this one, all highlight the horror in the makeup. This time the devil doesn't know if he has reference to black and white impermanence, but the feeling of chilling is very similar. The camera, the suspense setting, and the special effects have nothing to say, but there are still some loopholes in the plot. For example, the name of the evil devil was realized by the heroine... Then there are many things that are very illogical. I'm scared, why might I keep pushing the door open to see it... But this doesn't prevent it from being scary, especially the rhythm of the whole film is very well done. You strain your nerves and enter the aesthetic stage of horror fatigue. After a few warm jokes that I remember deeply, there are big horrors. Janet helped her brother practice the treatment of stuttering. In order to reward her brother, my mother spent a lot of money to buy small biscuits, and told her brother to eat slowly, and then it was a meal. Horror; then the dog Baron's go-out bell, inexplicably poked with cuteness, but it's also a horror; then there's the big tender scene where the male protagonist finds that the gramophone is broken and plays the guitar, which makes me think this may be the end of the film , but who knows that the real climax is also after the great warmth~ Several actors are veterans of horror movies, and so is the director, Wen Ziren deserves to be the light of the Chinese.
