Don't let the dazzling stunts ruin the sense of reality

This is another documentary film under the banner of a real DV, but from the beginning, the producer’s place has no silver three hundred taels, and the scenes that should not have been added to fill the integrity of the story all betray the truth of the film. sex. The beginning of the lens is constantly pulling apart and the people are very dizzy, just want to show that this is not the illusion of the hands of professional filmmakers, (the lens shake is the most powerful and realistic is the "Clover Archives") However, no audience can really believe that this tape is true, so the audience's degree of investment in the viewing process determines the viewability of the movie.
This movie can be divided into two parts. Like most DVD movies, in order to convince everyone that this is a real live story, the movie always takes a long time and shots to pave the way for the foreplay, just to let everyone into the play. . The better preparation for this is "Death Video 1". This stage is not only to bring the audience into the scene, but also to prepare for the next plot. The poorest one is "Ghost Record". Nearly 80% of the film is about dialogues that have nothing to do with the plot. The audience is already sleepy. If it weren’t for the film’s good reviews, I It's really hard to stick to it. And in this part of "Encounters in the Graveyard", I think it's a good job. The atmosphere and the use of night vision lenses (privately thinking that night vision lenses are more scary than ordinary lenses), and occasional horror and supernatural clips are all appropriate benefits.
The second part is the second half of the movie. Horror and special effects shots began to be used frequently. I was looking forward to this part when I only looked at the screenshots before, but after watching it, this part is completely absent from the previous occasional ghosts. Wonderful. The particularly clear and dazzling special effects have greatly compromised the reality. There are also bugs on the plot scenes. The psychic didn't have a camera to follow, so it's totally unreasonable that his lens would appear. In terms of plot, this movie still has a breakthrough. It is not blindly haunted, but adds the concept of time and space-time disorder. This kind of thing that can arouse people's inner fear is really more exciting than a terrifying ghost. Fear, that kind of apocalyptic atmosphere makes people nervous and desperate.
Also, in terms of the plot, if the beginning of the psychiatric hospital uses patients to do in vivo experiments and the protagonist discovers it at the end, it will be more shocking and the plot will be more complete.

    The overall is not bad, the atmosphere is depressing and the sound effects are good, but this kind of deliberately created pseudo-documentary mode and old tricks of pretending to be ghosts are still a bit contrived for a horror fanatic like me, but it starts with a self-deprecating joke. It is more natural to transition to traditional supernatural themes, but overall there are still some new ideas, 3.5 (PS: I hope that the next 2 will not be continued.)

    The film is neither good nor bad. There is no realism of ghost and REC, and there are some unclear logic in the details, but I still like this kind of imitation documentary~
