The director is said to be one of the hidden screenwriters, and the way he handles the plot is indeed inferior to Wen Ziren, wasting a reversal that should have been brilliant.
For example, with the help of a female ghost, the heroine finds that her client is imprisoning a girl. This reversal is quite satisfactory and not bad.
After reading it, we know that there is actually another reversal: the hostess saw a female ghost in the closet when she was a child, but she didn't know that she was still alive, let alone her father did the same thing as the later homeowner.
So at this time she thought it was just an ordinary criminal case, and the audience can see that it is not that simple by looking at the progress bar, it must be a ghost.
The reversal mentioned above could have been thrown out at a critical moment, and stunned the audience who thought they had seen it through, but the result was very mediocre. The whole mystery was revealed by the induction of the clothes, and the rest is straightforward. (If it is revealed here that there are indeed evil spirits manipulating the client to kill and concealing others, so that the audience thinks this is the whole mystery...)
At this time, the film is more than half an hour away from the end, close to one-third!
Think carefully about this reversal potential information is very large.
The hostess thought she knew everything, but in fact she was not as clear as her younger brother-"What is dad fearing?"
The father had been controlled by the evil spirit a long time ago, and he did not allow the hostess to say that he saw the ghost. It could not be because he didn't believe it. Judging from his mother's death and his father's performance, he wanted to protect his family.
What a good multiple reversal--
The first is to let the heroine know that her father knew there was a ghost but not to say that it was to protect herself.
The second stage let the heroine know that she was not dead when she saw the female ghost for the first time, misleading the audience that his father was an evil ghost, and overturning the first stage's favor with her father.
The third reveals that the father is a tiger, but it is not the final behind the scenes, and the heroine blocked a fatal blow at the critical moment.
Two bombs well, separate fights can definitely confuse the other side, just like this, they formed a four-generation two and threw it out early.
Especially in the middle of the film, the evil spirits took the initiative to destroy their mystery, and everything that followed was plain and tasteless.
We have repeatedly emphasized that the invisible unknown is the most terrifying. This evil ghost that appeared early, no matter how grim, it is not as scary as the female ghost in front of it.
And the prison with its unusually wide aisle and one glance at the head is naturally not as horrible as the previous work "You don't know what is behind the next door in the narrow aisle".
What a pity, what a pity.
