The first thing I did after watching "Puppet Contract 2" was to stay away from the TV and the computer. I was afraid that the anger in my heart would smash the TV. It sucks, it sucks.
I can imagine the director holding a copy of "Encyclopedia of Horror Bridges" when filming "Puppet Contract 2", closing his eyes and muttering in his heart: I will choose whoever the cock clicks, and open my eyes to choose. When you reach page 250, OK, it's you. Repeat this a few times and the movie is complete.
Back in 2016, the horror film "Puppet Contract" starring Maggie actor Lauren Cohan in "The Walking Dead" was released in Europe and the United States, and received more than 70 million at a cost of 10 million. The box office returns. Most importantly, because of the joining of Huayi Brothers, the first film was released in China on April 1, 2016! It was not easy for an American horror film to be released in China, and it achieved a box office of 16.5 million with a limited schedule.
Of course, apart from the joining of Huayi Brothers, the main reason for the release is that the film itself has nothing to do with ghosts, and everyone knows the reason.
The first word of mouth has a double harvest at the box office, so naturally it will continue to stir up cold...Bah, continue to shoot the sequel. Unfortunately, as I said at the beginning, the quality of the second part is really not flattering. Although the previous work is not related to ghosts, it can create an overall horror atmosphere, and the startle point and the later reversal transition are natural.
I also went to the theater to support the first movie when it was released in China. The shocking sounds in the theater are enough to prove that the film has successfully rendered the environment, and the depressive feeling of the secret room environment has been created vividly.
In the second part, the sense of urgency of the first part is completely lost. Rely on Jump scare to create scare points throughout the whole process, and to scare people by sound effects that fluctuate loudly and loudly. Using sound effects to scare people and nausea, usually the voice of the character dialogue TV has to be adjusted to 36 to barely hear it. When the jump scare appears, I am afraid that it will disturb the neighbors next door.
All the horror scenes in the film are familiar: you move when you are sick, and you move to a haunted house. If you pick up a doll in the woods (or in the house) outside the haunted house, you will inevitably have a supernatural phenomenon after you find the doll. The TV is turned on inexplicably, the doll that moves instantaneously, the furniture that goes crazy. After being tortured, the family learned that there had been a homicide in the house before (everyone except the protagonist knew it was a haunted house), and in the end, the evil spirit must show up to someone to hang on to Wia.
The most annoying thing is that in the end, the director still wanted to play, and made a stupid reversal to play with the audience. hehe. Feeling IQ was insulted. The End.
The old-fashioned bridge is acceptable, after all, it is not so easy for horror films to innovate now. But the director gave me the feeling that I didn't even care about the production. Maybe I thought that the cost was so low that I could just get back the cost with the reputation of the first film? Putting aside the clichés of the bridge section, there are logic problems in many places.
At the beginning of the film, a group of heavily armed men attacked the protagonist's family. for what? Xingshi moved the crowd to attack a family for no reason? The film gave no explanation at all. The boy suddenly broke the demons and spoke. Why? In the end, why didn't his father give Brahms a headshot while holding a gun?
Jude's heart burst as soon as he saw the doll. I see, this is actually a love story about Jude and Brahms. One person, one thing, one child, one doll, transcending the constraints of time and space, regardless of the opposition of parents and neighbors, experiencing all kinds of dangers and finally cultivated into a story.
At this time, I really want to sing a song "One Eye for Ten Thousand Years": a deep look at the love of ten thousand years, several reincarnations of endless love ~ a distressed sentence to treasure ten thousand years, the vow should be farther than forever ~ the final ending: we are too stubborn, can't bear the sky , Oppose it again~
Some people compare the doll Brahms from "Puppet Contract" with Annabel. I just want to say that if the doll sister Annabel knows about it, she can jump out of the window and beat the director. : How about you compare with me? ! All of your routines are left over by my old lady!
"Puppet Contract 2" has defeated the character accumulated from the first part. If you are interested in this horror movie, I suggest you go to the first one, and then look back at the second one as a comedy, and you can enjoy it.
