The horror point of the overall movie is not as prominent as in the preview, or it can't feel too much horror at all. It can be said that this movie is actually shot in a dark tone like poetry, gorgeous and romantic and full of humanistic flavor. A movie about zombies, it is better to say that it is a movie about people. Whether it is a celestial master, a Taoist priest, a mistress, a mother and a child, or a security guard, they are all full of descriptions. All kinds of people in a dilapidated building have their own pasts. , has his own entanglements, his own regrets, and his own reluctance, but Qian Xiaohao's line is slightly thin. In the end, the meaning of Qian Xiaohao's entire line basically stays at the level of nostalgia for the old times.


The whole scene, picture, and special effects feel that although sometimes it is a bit pursued for the pursuit of feel, in the part of the zombie war, it is obviously overdone. It seems that the feel of the MV mixed with CG animation is too obvious, but the overall feeling is still mostly. Not bad. As a rich second generation who directed a movie for the first time, Mak Junlong can see his intentions and is full of his own ideas. Although this is a movie that pays homage to Hong Kong zombie movies in the 1980s, it also incorporates a lot of his own ideas. The whole tone and the ashes at the beginning and the end make me feel like Silent Hill, especially the twin sisters in the corridor. The camera is completely paying homage to The Shining. Seeing the name of Shimizu Takashi on the producer, I understand why the whole movie has such a heavy Japanese-style horror trace, but after saying so much, I like this movie very much.


Especially after the end of the film, the voice and appearance of the subtitles are still there: Lin Zhengying and Xu Guanying are so touching, the kind of loneliness and unwillingness that Qian Xiaohao said in the film special is so distressing and sighing, Hui Yinghong said that she has such experience, Recalling that she cried and cried at the Academy Awards, this group of old actors, this new director, and such a hard-working work, this is enough.
