Even if it is "the first horror movie in the universe", I don't want to recommend it!

First of all, it is still necessary to declare that in order to watch the convenience of the new film, I have always been a paid user of Net flight. Therefore, Netfo's movies are online genuine online, not downloading and watching.

Why do you emphasize this? After all, after watching the piracy, it is a bit awkward and easy to fall into the population.

After paying, I was so relieved.

Then, start.

Yesterday, Net Fei launched a new Chinese horror movie, which is "Curse".

Before the film was launched, the Douban scored 8.0 points. In Chinese horror movies, it was considered a high score.

Unfortunately, the score has declined all the way after the launch, and now it has fallen to 6.9 points. I am afraid that many people have never expected it.

This "Mantra" is also a Chinese horror movie that many friends have been looking forward to for a long time, and they all think it will be a good masterpiece of the year.

You know, as a Chinese horror movie, the previous 8.0 score is really difficult to achieve.

Especially at that time, Douban's evaluation was also very crazy, and even the top five in the history of Chinese by netizens:

Of course, this evaluation only represents his personal opinions, as if my next evaluation is also the same as my personal opinion.

Just represent individuals, um.

In fact, the popularity of "Curse" is to a certain degree because of the promotion of the film well. Like many netizens commented, this is a very good marketing business film.

Therefore, the box office performance of the film is also very good. After investigating the report, the film has been dominated by the box office in Taiwan in a row. WikiLeaks shows that the total box office of the film has reached NT $ 170 million. It is also very good with this small -scale horror film.

The box office is well sold, and naturally has the credit of publicity, and the most attractive promotional means of the audience are mainly two aspects:

First of all, the film claims to be created based on real cases. This point is quite attractive. You think, a horror movie turned out to be an adaptation of a real event, which was so exciting.

Moreover, the original case was also very evil, and the doubts were heavy and twists and turns.

Regarding that case itself, Douban has related introductions, and even netizens' speculation on the truth of the case is also very exciting.

In the original text, the author's relevant speculation, if you are interested, go to find it, I won't post it.

You see, this case itself is very evil. It is really attractive to make a movie.

However, this "Mantra" is not completely unrelated to the above case, and it is basically not connected.

Therefore, it is really only inspired by others, but the shooting is completely two things.

From the plot, only one cult settings are used by the two, and the topic of the evil is completely different. But you have to mention only evil, even if there is no inspiration of this case, there is no problem! After all, there are no thousands or hundreds of the bridges of the horror movie about Zhongxie.

Therefore, it is obviously a marketing purpose in publicity. It is obviously a marketing purpose. In fact, it is not related to the movie itself.

Another point that attracts everyone is the trailer of "Curse".

I have to say that the editing of the film's trailer is indeed very good and scary. The evaluation of the netizens is that the essence is in the trailer.

We can feel the trailer of the Internet flight. This is a lot more convergence than the previous version, but it is still very scary.

In short, with these two tricks, "Curse" quickly attracted a lot of people's attention.

Of course, as a horror movie, especially Chinese horror movies, "Curse" is still passing. At least, the director is relatively mature in the practice of pseudo -record horror movies.

Of course, it is really not strong, just like we have watched it before, or most of the pseudo -record horror movies we introduced.

Everyone is actually a similar horror mode.

For example, the film also intends to use more shooting mediums: mobile phones, handheld cameras, monitoring lenses, driving recorders, pinhole cameras, etc., summarize the video obtained by various shooting methods, and edit it into the whole film.

This is also a common way for pseudo -documentaries. It summarizes images in a variety of familiar media ways to make the public feel closer. That is to tell the supernatural horror story with more daily equipment and images, bringing daily horror.

The audience will be closer to such a story, and there is a panic in daily life.

Of course, in order to emphasize the sense of presence and recording, such pseudo -documentary films have to give up some logic.

What is most difficult to understand is that you have encountered such a horrible thing, but you still don't forget to take a picture with the camera.

This is also a problem that all pseudo -documentary will be encountered.

For a simple example, in the front of the film, the hostess found that her refrigerator door was opened, and the milk bottle inside also poured, and the milk kept flowing in the refrigerator.

In this case, normal people should support the milk bottle.

But she didn't.

She continued to shoot, watching the milk continues to flow.

It's a waste! Intersection Intersection

But why do you do this?

Because the director asked her to shoot.

Therefore, in order to increase the sense of horror, the basic logic gave up. There are many similar problems, which is also the situation that many pseudo -records will be encountered, and we can also endure it.

However, there is a particularly unwilling place in the film, that is, there are too many opportunities.

This is really hard to accept.

After all, for pseudo -documentary, a single perspective presented by a camera can also barely convince the audience to believe that this is a subjective perspective of the character.

However, the film often appears in some very private places, bringing multiple cameras to bring multiple perspectives. Even the panoramic shots of the perspective of the viewing perspective are very directed. This is obviously not the perspective of the character in the film, which is too confused.

It will make you specially jump, jump out of the fake documentary settings, and notice the filming group behind. Anyway, don't play pseudo -documentaries. If you want to play, you should pay a little attention to the basic logic of the pseudo -records. Now it is too dealt with.

This problem also continues to edit, and the editing is also interested in fragmented, including the cross -editing of two timelines, which seems to be handsome, but it completely destroys the atmosphere of the pseudo -documentary, which seems very deliberate.

If the characteristics of the film are probably, based on the form of pseudo -records of horror movies, it wraps a very oriental, very rustic cult story.

A closed village, a group of villagers who believe in evil gods and curses, including various spells, rituals, gestures, may make feudal superstitions very kind.

It is equivalent to using a very western and modern pseudo -records to wrap a very Oriental Curse story. This is a highlight of the film.

Of course, those evil methods are not fresh. For example, some of the more evil scenes in "Curse" are writing spells in the body and writing.

But I am afraid that many people will think of the "Evil" of Gui Zhihong

Earlier Xiaolin Zhengshu's "Strange Talk"

In fact, this kind of setting is not creative.

In terms of plot, the essence of "Mantra" is still a family movie, that is, the mother and daughter's love is the main line of emotion. And the advancement of all the plots is actually the mother to save her daughter.

In fact, the setting of this emotional line is pretty good, bringing a little warm color to this horror movie.

well!

If it is just such a story, including such a pseudo -documentary form, even if there are many regrets and problems. I should still want to recommend "Curse". Although it is not so outstanding, it is at least a satisfactory horror film, and even a few very scary Jump Scares (in fact, there are also in the trailer).

As a Chinese horror movie, such a film is still worth encouraging.

However, as the title says, I don't want to recommend this film anyway.

That's because the film intends to add interaction with the audience in order to increase the sense of horror. From the beginning of the film, the paintings of various protagonists chatted with the audience, implanting various ideas.

Including the spell mentioned in the film, the curse gesture and symbols inside.

At the end of the film, the character suddenly tells you that in fact, these are the way to curse you (that is, curse every audience). Because of this, you can share this curse with me ...

how to say?

That's right, this is just a small setting of the director to increase the sense of horror. After all, the evil god was edited by the director, and the spell was also edited by the director.

We all know that this is just a movie, all fake.

However, I still feel a little obscure.

Watching movies was a very happy thing, but he had to be curse by others.

Really, inexplicable.

What does this feel?

It's like when you go to elementary school, many people may receive that cursing letter, which can be transferred to how many people must be transferred within seven days. If not, the whole family is unlucky.

Everyone knows that this is fake, but I still feel very people (although I have never turned around after I received it because I don't want to go to others).

Such a plot is nothing new. At that time, the Thai terrorist film "Li Gui will be reflected" also has similar settings. However, at least the settings are integrated into the plot, which is part of the plot.

The setting of the audience in "Curse" is actually unnecessary. Even if it is removed, it will not affect the plot.

However, the film is still added, and you don't know what the director thinks.

I believe that some people must like this "Mantra" because there are indeed points worthy of saying.

However, someone must be disgusted like me.

Then you can't say that he is not good.

You can only scold one sentence:

unlucky!
