Any movie that attaches importance to the plot itself must follow a consistent set of worldviews and values. Southeast Asian horror movies are especially thoughtful in this regard. At least this one tells a complete story with a beginning and an end, and it has a lot to do with the causal cycle or waiting. The rules of price exchange are very obvious. Including a set of clear rules and explanations for so-called supernatural horror elements such as witchcraft, materials, programs, costs, consequences, etc. In this movie, such as the close-up leg stroke + singing voice, the simple ultimate trick, the rare shadow puppet of a certain species, and the There's relatively common hair-burning and bleeding (although the movie's spell-breaking part is a bit sloppy). After reading some of the comments above, I personally feel that there is no need to consider the rationality of these rules themselves. In fact, this is just a set of established world views. It is artificially set, and the setting is not rough, as long as it does not change with the mood of the director and screenwriter. Just come and accept it. After watching such a film, the audience can put themselves in the shoes to consider what the characters are doing and for what purpose, and make their own value judgments accordingly. Therefore, it can also be said that the portrayal of the characters in this film is relatively full, Ding who is greedy but still enough friends, Rui who is a little angel but fatalistic, Ma Bao but the village chief who has no conscience, selfish and vengeful eager to control the world The AP mother who is not forgetting to play a set of skills when he is dying. At the same time, the shaping of the protagonist is neutral. The protagonist is at the center of the vortex but does not play a major role in promoting the development of the plot. This brings an ordinary person rather than a hero's perspective, and once it is substituted into the hero's perspective, it is more or less easy. A value or logic loophole occurs. The plot itself is relatively flat before and after (I even thought that Ding Herui's image would be reversed in the first half), and some details in the first half were not clearly explained, but there were no major flaws. Movies with weird phenomena are much stronger, and horror-themed movies are too perfunctory to scare people with sudden visual effects and sound effects. The advantage of horror movies in terms of plot is that they have a more delicate psychological portrayal of life and death. Southeast Asian horror movies pay special attention to the ethical judgment behind behavior, or more generally, human nature. Taking aside the various manifestations of curiosity and supernaturalism, the film itself has a tragic core, which can be found in many Thai horrors. Although the story is not bad, as a movie, this picture is a bit miserable... After watching it, my eyes are full of gold stars...
