The ghost video series completely imitates the successful experience of the predecessor "Blair the Witch", the DV shooting method, the viral promotion and marketing concept, the plot of pretending to be a ghost... When we put all these elements together, we can use a very Chinese The words to describe this movie-Huyou. The first episode of the series successfully attracted a group of fans for the movie through the haunted story of a newlywed couple’s boudoir. The sequel was a family mobilization, a group of four came to fool the audience, although the production company invested more in the sequel. The flicker IQ of the film did not improve any more, but it was a little bit lower than that of the first episode.
If you want to be a real big fool, you must have a variety of tricks, and you can't just rely on a few brain teasers to deceive people. The sequel movie wants to continue its brilliance, and it can't always use the previous tricks, but "Ghost Record 2" is blatantly underestimating the IQ of our audience. Many clips in the movie, such as the room door that suddenly opens in the middle of the night, the chandeliers that suddenly light up in the dark, the weird sounds suddenly made in the silence... To the audience, they are all familiar, at different times, in different places, and in different ways. Characters, the same story, this is the most reasonable comparison between the two ghost records. The most annoying thing is the ending of the movie. I remember that in the first episode, the last shot was given to the evil spirit who has been hiding in the dark. But the end of this sequel does not have the glimpse of the shock of the previous episode. The audience is in Xin After waiting hard for 90 minutes, all I saw was the massacre of a woman possessed by evil spirits. Such a plot is inevitably disappointing.
The most frightening part of a horror movie is the moment when the evil spirit appears, but the most frightening thing is the almost suffocating horror atmosphere that the movie dignified. The haunted house is a horror theme that is very suitable for rendering a horror atmosphere, but the tricks of those ghost pupils were used to the extreme by the main creators in the first episode. In "Ghost Record 2", what we see is just the constant repetition of the movie. The stories that happened in the first episode, those familiar pictures are mechanically skipped in front of the audience like flashbacks, but the horror and panic that used to be gone are gone, constructed with the same logical thinking. The plot allows the audience to easily guess what will happen in the next second of the movie. It can be said that "Ghost Record 2" has almost lost the most important things in horror films, and is moving towards a boring family comedy video.
Although the quality of the movie is not as good as before, the ghost image still stepped on the ultimate chainsaw in the box office battle of Halloween last year, and the role of fans cannot be ignored. The method of flickering in the movie has not changed, but the audience still hope to find some fun in flickering. This is like the Spring Festival Gala today. Although Uncle Benshan’s sketches are not as good as each year, we still want to include them in his works every New Year’s Eve. Looking for one or two laughs. Judging from the current situation, the ghost film series will continue to flicker without hesitation. After all, the cost of flickering of three million US dollars can flick the box office of nearly 100 million yuan. How can such a considerable profit make those Hollywood producers give up easily , It’s just that in what direction this movie will develop in the future, it’s still unknown. If the movie continues to face the audience in the form of home video tapes, I think the lifespan of this series will definitely not be longer than that of Chainsaw. It is the fans who will be soberly aware of the flickering nature of the movie...
