Frankly speaking, I think this film is extremely good even if it is put into the world film industry, no wonder it was later remade by Hollywood! Personally, this is the best I've ever seen. It is not only scary, but also has an excellent script. After reading it, I feel it is very meaningful. In addition, the director's technique is very good, whether it is editing, color grading or camera technique. Just right, Li Xinjie also grasped the inner performance of the characters very well. After watching this movie, there is a shock and an indescribable peace in my heart, which is not found in other horror movies.

    The first half is fearful and evasive, the second half is face-to-face, the last fateful reincarnation, I am afraid because of other people's tragedies, and the tragedies caused by other people's fears, I especially like the various scenes of hell in the first half and Li Xinjie who plays the violin It's so charming. Although the reconciliation in the second half doesn't feel anything, even if the final reincarnation still cannot be saved, some things have changed. You can appreciate life and death, see beauty and evil, then you don't need to see it anymore, everything has already been felt . "Some things don't hurt unless you can't see them."

    7/10. The horror creativity of the Peng brothers is the first in the visual and auditory scenes. When Wenwen and the ghost of the old man ride the elevator together, they use the shooting angles of the top shot and the top shot alternately to make a close-up of Wenwen's eyes and the elevator rises from a subjective perspective. The number of layers and the positional relationship of the old man behind him are cross-edited to prolong the tension of the audience, while the long, narrow and deep corridors groan and echo from far and near. The voice intensified, constantly feeling Wen Wen's fear of not opening his eyes to see a ghost. Full of allegorical expressions of the trust crisis of modern people, a chaotic image of death appeared in Wen Wen Fuming's blurred vision. The children who jumped off the building without a report card, the Thai girls who donated their corneas and made predictions about disaster are all in a position not trusted by their parents, and the people in the world who do not trust them will also suffer misfortune. It's a pity that the Peng brothers have never made such meticulous supernatural films again. Most of them have chaotic logic and lack of innovation, which may be related to their transition to crime action films.
