"Some people believe that if you tell a story a few times, it will become true."

The original work is considered to be the first set of serious children’s horror literature. Because the illustrations in the book are too horrible,

Banned in multiple regions. And it was selected as one of the "Top 100 Controversial Books" in the United States .

Although the original novel collection was terrifying, the movie version was eventually shot at PG-13 level .

The purpose is to attract more young people, which also makes the film's pictures not bloody, and the sense of horror is also greatly reduced.

It is a well-deserved horror film. It has shortcomings and naturally has a good side. On the whole, the atmosphere of the film is very good, and it is very Andre's style.

This is similar to "The Clown", and it is full of ambition.

Unfortunately, the ambition is big enough, but the expression is not perfect.

Not bad,

But it can be better.

    Better than expected. The director's creation of the atmosphere of the horror scene is an advantage inherited from "An Unknown Woman's Corpse", a kind of tension that "the rubber band gets longer and longer but I don't know when it will break". The images of different ghosts and the stages of their debut are also very original and exciting, much better than "Annabel 3". But ironically, while the film emphasizes the important role of "story" in the play, it also tells the audience a not new and interesting story. Putting a group of children on the task of investigating the case is also not convincing, and the characterization is very thin, but it also gives a sense of retro horror movies, and tributes to old horror movies can be seen everywhere.

    The original book is from the early 1980s, five or six years earlier than IT, and more than ten years earlier than the "Goosebumps" series. Purely for children, the age group on Amazon is 8-12 years old, that is, elementary school students. Adapted into the movie PG-13, it is really a children's movie. The format is similar to the "Book of the Necropolis" in the 1990s. The main story is about a horrible book, and then a short story is brought out, so the heroine's friends are actually props for telling the short story. The short story itself is in the original book, and there are surprises in searching scaryforkids. In addition to the details of the president, the main storyline mainly talks about the Americans' fear of poisoning children in factories in the 1980s. The most famous case is that of DuPont. John Travolta has acted in related movies. Recently, another "Black Water" is going to be published, which also talks about this case.
