Is there anything else to see in "The Gate of the Evil Spirit" besides horror?

In recent years, domestic horror films have emerged one after another, but there are only a handful of excellent works, and the content homogeneity is serious. There have been criticisms such as low production cost, all new actors, mysterious plot, and scary sound with only sound effects. Domestic horror films are mostly pro-Asian horror, similar to Japanese and Korean horror, taking the psychological suspense route and focusing on the creation of artistic conception. Originally, storytelling is no longer the strong point of domestic filmmakers. In today's increasingly impetuous, the original valuable artistic conception is becoming more and more untenable. Newcomer director Zorro's Gate of the Evil Spirit takes a different approach, does not follow the common sense, and combines China horror with American heavy tastes such as brain burning and rotting insects sewing corpses to create an alternative and novel horror work.

The story structure of The Gate of the Evil Spirit is similar to martin scorsese's Shutter Island. It is supported by cross-examination and flashback throughout, and there is a great identity reversal at the end, which has amazing effects. The fun of this structure lies in looking back at the hidden clues after watching the movie, which is complex but meticulous. At the same time, the realization of unexpected reversal effect requires the screenwriter to make great efforts in script creation. Although Zorro, the director and screenwriter of Gate of the Evil Spirit, is a newcomer, he invited Susan Dewey, who is known as the "Ghost King" of the United States, to bless him. They created this thriller together, but it was full of human feelings, horror and meticulous suspense reasoning. "The biggest gap between China's horror films and American horror films lies in the sense of horror and bloodiness. This lack of violent aesthetics has also caused the gap between Chinese and American horror films. " As a pro-American horror film, The Door of the Evil Spirit not only pays attention to "brain burning", logic and reasoning in the plot, but also shows pro-American characteristics in the use of sex, blood, carrion and corpse sewing, which is not suitable for children to watch. Dewey Susan and Zorro are both fans of chainsaw movies, and their horrible and bloody violence aesthetics are highly respected. In "incubus", the audience can also see many naked tomato scenes, instead of the obscure details such as red shoes, sound effects and blood stains that China used to use in the past. In terms of production and actors, Gate of the Evil Spirit spent150,000 yuan for no special effects, and invited the prestigious Mo Shaocong, Zhu Zhu and Chen Tingjia to lead the starring role. Domestic horror films are good at making small movies, and they have made a small achievement and earned a fairly good box office, but the goal of "Gate of Evil Spirit" is not limited to this. Zhu Zhu is sexy, and the beauty played in the film is even sexier. Under the purple-black tone, the white and delicate skin shines, so it is no wonder that the horror novelist Sawada is fascinated. Chen Tingjia's wife is gentle and moving, but after her unfortunate death, it's chilling to see the child black and blue. The novelist Sawada held a death note in his hand, devouring himself and writing others to death.
