Like almost all pseudo-documentary forms, three or five people went to a claustrophobic space for some purpose. Under this environment, more and more frightening things happened one after another. Finally, the people in the movie disappeared or disappeared one by one. Is to die. Either add some historical background or religious beliefs, and the story will be rounded up.
And how to make a horror movie under the packaging of pseudo-documentary form to maximize the sense of horror it wants to show, it is important to do'addition' and'subtraction'.
The recording method of this film uses a variety of different equipment. The most basic is the camera fixed at the suspected location. The horrible bridges used in these cameras are probably the oldest: windows that open automatically, lights that suddenly fall down, and the exaggerated expressions and magnified sense of fear when a person's face approaches. These have appeared in almost all pseudo-documentaries. Then came the cameras held by the protagonists. In some scenes in this film, there will be pictures taken by different people’s cameras, which can let us know the expressions of everyone and what happened to them (in the past, some pseudo-documentary films would silently ignore the camera. People), the switching of night vision lenses also magnified the weird and depressing atmosphere. There is also a recorder that captures the EVP. This prop was used by the heroine at first without any effect, but when the hero used it again in the tunnel at the end of the film, he heard the howling of various sounds around him, but he was alone. . Similar props include cameras. The use of these props can well substitute the audience into the on-site atmosphere, and this contrast between the front and back does deepen the depression and despair in the audience's hearts.
Unlike the lengthy rendering of "Blair the Witch", this film does not include too many pale and weak descriptions in the early stage. When interviewing passers-by, it stops shortly. At the same time, it also laid the groundwork for several important horror scenes. By the time the film was about 20 minutes in progress, the expedition to the mental hospital had already begun. In the beginning, it was just a group of people playing mystery, but when the real "ghost" gradually appeared, a kind of spontaneous fear began to spread in the heart. And as more spiritual events happened, this fear gradually deepened with the emotional changes of the protagonists. The tumbling hospital bed, the disappearing Matt, the blood behind the heroine, the changing labyrinth, the woman who appeared in the corner (this woman who changed her face scared me to death!!!), the man without a tongue, etc. These continued horrors The climax of the film appears one after another in the middle and later paragraphs of the film, giving the audience no chance to breathe at all. At the end of the film, only the male lead was left. At this time, the atmosphere was no longer so intense, but depressed and flustered. And the sudden appearance of the male protagonist eating a mouse is even more unprepared. At the end, the line of sight followed the male lead's lens and moved forward, followed by the male lead's desperate gasps, and even more bizarre scenes, making people desperately unable to breathe.
In general, this is a horror movie that is not dull and has a climax. While maintaining the form of a pseudo-documentary, the scenes, sound effects and montages are fully utilized. New wine in old bottles, in more and more pseudo-documentary horror movies, is enough to make people remember this movie firmly.
Looking forward to the second part.
Supplement
1. The death of the psychic is too untechnical.
2. The scene of suddenly running past a woman in the passage is somewhat similar to the scene of a little girl running past in "Death Video".
3. The woman pacing in the corner is reminiscent of the last scene of "Blair the Witch".
4. In the part of the bathtub, I obviously knew what would appear in the blood, but I was still taken aback.
5. The heroine was finally taken away by a blast of demon wind? ? ? I originally imagined that she was infected or something, didn't she end up vomiting a few mouthfuls of blood? !
6. The male protagonist eats mice too! he! mom! Disgusting! ! !
