To say that the director who has made the best horror films in recent years should be Wen Ziren. His series of horror movies are very popular and popular. Because of this, the director Wen is named Wenshen, like his "Latent" And " Calling the Soul" were made into a series, in which "Calling the Soul" even expanded into the movie universe. What's true story, prequel, and side story were released one after another. And because of the great commercial success of Wen Ziren’s films, major Hollywood manufacturers have contributed their big IPs to Director Wen. So Wen Ziren has been busy shooting " speed and passion 7 " and " " Aquaman" is gone. And when I hand over the horror film series I created to others to direct, I am basically just a producer. But most of these Wenshen movies have no internal taste, are not scary, have no novelty, and have no connotation. Fans are looking forward to Wenshen being able to take the time to shoot horror films to enjoy the audience. Finally, Wenshen brought his new original horror movie "Fatal Induction" this year.
When watching the trailer of "Fatal Induction", there is a feeling of "Calling the Soul". In the secluded private house, the heroine is entangled by unknown monsters and frequently sees various horror events. At the same time, this monster will hurt her. The family, while the hostess draws strength from her family, the look and feel is still the family’s tenderness to defeat the sneaky demons. It is very exciting. I hope to relive the deep feelings brought by the ancient demons in "The Soul". Sense of fear.
This house has an internal taste
This lens is really disturbing
is a few decades old video. Entanglement?
However, after watching the whole film, I found thatExpectations are completely misplaced with the content of the movie. This film is not a scary horror film, but a suspenseful thriller. Therefore, friends who have not yet watched this movie but are ready to watch this movie must revise their expectations. In short, Wenshen’s film is suspenseful enough, attractive enough, but not so scary.
movie is very similar to the two Asian movies " double pupil " and "Sao Po He" in terms of settings, and the design of the film mystery is particularly similar. The three films are all mysterious and terrifying in the early stage, with frequent horror or supernatural events, and investigators intervened, so the film officially entered the detective mode, turning from horror to suspense; in the middle of the film, the plot is mainly based on detective decryption, and the sense of horror gradually Disappeared, because the pattern of the incident is the same, so that investigators can find clues in a series of similar cases, so it will not be like the excellent horror movies, the level of terror is progressive; in the later period, the truth gradually surfaced. Behind the scenes, the Boss became frantic and entered the final battle, and the answer was finally revealed.
But the difference between "Fatal Induction" and the two East Asian films "Double Pupils" and "Sao Po He" is that it is easy to understand. It is based on medicine and biology to design mysteries and answers, and the knowledge used is not beyond ordinary The audience’s cultural background and knowledge reserves. And "Double Eyes" and "Suo Po He" have a strong oriental mysticism color, and also involve religious knowledge. Although audiences without relevant cultural backgrounds can still watch it, they are somewhat stunned in some details. . After watching this film, the audience can appreciate the ingenious setting of Wenshen without any obstacles. The story from the front to the back of the film is basically complete and self-consistent, and they can truly experience the thrill of investigating and deciphering.
In short, Wenshen is still the Wenshen. Instead of repeating himself, he blindly pursued horror and excitement, but tried new genres and content. At the same time, his storytelling ability is still top-notch, and he can always catch your eyeballs and watch them in one go. Fans of Wenshen can eat this film with confidence, as long as they lower their expectations of the degree of horror. At the same time, this film is also highly recommended to friends who are not too courageous but like to find excitement. Moderate fright and more suspense can make you breathe in without unplugging the power supply. The level of horror should be just right for these friends.
