Quiet ghosts are the most terrifying

The image of Wraith is well designed, but not enough for Wen Ziren. He should be able to show a better imagination, the resentment in the image of a nun is indeed rare, but it is not impossible. Director Wen should have more monstrous innovations.
I have always felt that a ghost who does not speak, stands quietly and dignifiedly in front of you and scare you is a good ghost, no, it is a ghost that can scare you. The resentful spirit in the film was very reserved in the early stage, just walking around, not saying hello, walking around on his own, and later on, he started to open his mouth frequently, showing his mouth full of fangs, and would often play close-ups and run in front of you to scare you, The terrifying atmosphere was at a discount.
After watching a lot of ghost movies, I always have a question. Although I understand the reason, I always have my own ideas. Looking at all the ghost movies in the history of film (especially the serious, full-time ghost movies that scare you, excluding funny horror comedies that specialize in spoofs), almost all the ghosts encountered are financially awkward, life Negative, gloomy family or individual, in short, it is always the unfortunate person who encounters the unfortunate thing, and the misfortune is more miserable. It seems that ghosts and wraiths will never look down on rich children.
Although I know that this setting may be to set off the rhetoric that "people with mental depression and negative thoughts are more likely to be exposed to negative energy and evil magnetic fields". But I still think that you should stop torturing all the poor families in horror movies, go to one more family, and torture the wealthy family. I'm curious, what if someone with a wealthy family, a wonderful life, and a sunny spirit would meet a ghost? How to behave? (ps: Conjuring is adapted from a real haunted event, the story background is limited, and it is not included in this rant)
Many ghost movies like to shoot such scenes, the characters see strange things in a dark environment, and then do not turn on the lights, forever It's impossible to turn on the lights, as if he hasn't paid his electricity bills for three years. The character walked forward while being afraid, and then the weird thing got closer and closer, more and more clear, and then suddenly rushed in front of him, scaring him to a stagger, and winning the poor horror value. I like Wen Ziren's way of expressing this aspect. In the room where the lights are turned on in the film, the younger sister stared at the corner, stunned, and her mouth was muttering. who speaks? The younger sister didn't talk to her, and continued to meditate. The older sister looked at the direction of the corner carefully. Maybe it was a psychological effect. She gradually saw the outline of a human figure. When she was startled, she immediately turned on the desk lamp. The corner was illuminated, but nothing happened. no.
You can't see things, but you know there's something there, which is scary already, and what's even scarier is that you don't know what's hiding there.
