Death film review

Film review, referred to as film review, is to analyze and comment on the director, actors, lens, photography, plot, clues, environment, color, light, audio-visual language, props, transitions and editing of a film. The following is my silent film review, I hope it will help you.

Compared with Saw's works, which frequently appear in the form of mini-plays, the Death Film Review 1 will find that the director and screenwriter's unique intentions and bold attempts to horror in this seemingly pre-heated work of Saw series have reached a quite high level, so that we will once again experience this kind of horror expression commonly used in Saw, and will still be brought into a hellish heartbeat by its horrible atmosphere and sudden audio-visual effects. At this point, we began to find that the use of dolls in horror movies is like touching people's psychological gap, turning the original cute and childlike props into symbols of murder and the devil, thus creating immersive fear. Every one of us, whether boy or girl, has had a doll-like toy. If these toys are anthropomorphic or anthropomorphic, they all have a creepy similarity, that is, dull eyes, single face and expression, and of course clumsy and boring gestures. The semi-mechanical characteristics of these dolls are exactly the elements used to create a horrible atmosphere in this kind of movies.

In Silent Hill series games and TV series Evil Forces, the means to create terror all involve the use of dolls, and most of them are in the doll's own state. If there are many visual elements that are inconsistent, such as Barbie's eyes bleeding, her expression is still a smile or sunshine. Such descriptions always seem to make people feel creepy. Maybe the doll is the closest thing to us and brings us joy like brothers and sisters. On the other hand, if a child like our little brother or sister bleeds from seven holes or behaves abnormally in the movie, I'm afraid the fear of death is the same. If we think of the little girl possessed by the devil and stabbed by the cross in The Exorcist, we always seem to feel a kind of pain.

The portrayal of dolls and the interpretation of American horror in Silence seem to be the templates of recent horror movies. First of all, this film leads a fashion of solving mystery horror plots, and the flashback of details at the end of this film always seems to make us find a sense of detective film, but this feeling is based on the atmosphere of terror. In other words, we always look at the cause of terror and the real murderer at the end of the movie with a desperate attitude. This model is widely used in Saw directed by James. However, after watching Dead Silence again, we will find that the memory lens is just right, which leads to the deepening of despair and fear, which is much better than the chainsaw series.

Secondly, it lies in the horrible plot, arrangement and death tactics. Like most American horror films, this film does not emphasize the role of investigation, nor does it make us expect the immortal ending of the protagonist, but its bloody scene and the tragic ending of the protagonist itself are quite natural and smooth to everyone, as if the plot should happen in the end. Different from Japanese horror movies, American ghosts seem to be more willing to hurt others by cruel means, showing disgusting and frightening effects on survivors. "Dead Silence" arranged this kind of death as a doll of the dead, which caused the sudden death effect in the form of ghosts suddenly cutting off the victim's tongue and splitting the victim's jaw, and it was more in line with the audience's original fear of dolls.

Finally, the use of close-ups and dead silence. We are glad that the Chinese translation of the film did not translate itself into the title of Murder of a Doll, but directly expressed it as Silence according to the original intention of the title. When we understand the causes and clues of the horror atmosphere with the development of the plot, we will find that we actually walked into the trap arranged by the director. No matter what the plot of horror movies is, we can't find reliable clues like mystery movies, and the process of the protagonist's search for the cause of death arranged by the director is actually the process of the emergence of terrorist elements clusters. Focal Plane successfully interfered with our normal thinking with a large number of close-ups and quick movements, and led the audience's full attention to the position pointed by the camera. Suddenly, the quiet close-up turned into a scene where ghosts appeared, and people's heartbeat was accelerated by the visual dead angle in this telephoto close-up environment and broke out in the next set of shots.

You can find the cornerstone of the tone of the picture from the beginning of the film. The director deliberately chose cool blue as the main color of the film. In the picture of recalling the plot, a lot of shadows and darkness were used in the slightly warmer colors, which made the film full of fear and despair from the beginning. With the death of the first victim, the only part of the film that can be called an active atmosphere has disappeared, followed by endless darkness and chaos. The combination of cool blue and telephoto close-ups and the depiction of destroyed old dolls seem to be the most commendable place of this film. In this regard, the film seems to have exaggerated the horror atmosphere to the extreme. The director seems to have a better understanding of A Doll in Silence than Saw. Through the dynamic description of quiet things, the audience's fear can be directly raised to a very high position, and the use of the dead effect seems to be the most attentive and cliche place in this film, because the doll itself can be a quiet endorsement, and it is not necessary to let the undead perform further.

In fact, as a doll, movies are not very simple to show. I know that at the end of the film, the resentful undead are still the evil culprit, and the dolls themselves are just body double after. The direct action and death breath of the dolls are not intuitively shown, which is probably the common feeling of many people who are obsessed with the perfectionism of horror movies. When we see ghosts coming out of the back of the doll, we will be vaguely disappointed with this arrangement. Dolls should be ghosts themselves, not props at the mercy of their owners as before. But everyone has an understanding of the plot. As far as the plot itself is concerned, the film is excellent enough, and the rest of the discussion is based on personal appreciation.

The reason why Death Film Review 2 watched this film was entirely for Saw's team. Although the Saw series is not as good as the last one, since it is a new work, we have no reason not to expect James Wan and his creative team to surprise us again.

The synopsis of the story is not complicated, and the killer doll, an important prop of the film, has a feeling of deja vu. It seems that James Wan is a person who likes wooden dolls very much. In order to trace the cause of his wife's bizarre death, Jamie Yashan returned to his hometown and tried to find the culprit who killed his wife. In the end, what he got was the truth of the legend of Mary Shaw's curse that has been hanging over the whole town, and the inextricable connection between the evil doll and his family.

Since we are Saw's original team, we naturally have reason to expect an unexpected ending. As we all know, in James Wan's films, no matter how bizarre and unpredictable things happened before, they were all accumulated for the last moment. In the process of watching movies, I have been thinking about what kind of burden James might bring to us. With the gradual development of the movie plot, Mary Shaw's doubts become more and more clear. So who will be the last person to get rid of the burden, Jamie's father, the old man in the funeral home, or the policeman who vowed to find evidence of Jamie's wife's murder?

Maybe my IQ is still lacking, or maybe I didn't watch the movie carefully enough and didn't deeply understand the meaning behind the seemingly simple slogan "Finish the beauty doll". In short, I can't guess the ending of the story. A few sharp flashback clips and bloody music, James Wan's signature powerful ending once again brought a sense of awakening. Especially in the face of the truth, Jamie, who had been calm before, finally couldn't stand it, screamed in despair and fell under the curse of Mary Shaw. In this exciting game, Jamie lost to Mary Shaw and I lost to James Wan.

Dead Film Review 3 "Dead Silence" Douban scored 7.4, which is a rare high score in horror movies. I don't agree with this, so writing a short comment and voicing it can be regarded as expressing different opinions.

It is true that the film "Dead Silence" was not made for nothing. On the contrary, it has many advantages.

The plot reversal at the last moment is good. Of course, this is a classic routine, but I still can't help but praise my father's idea of being hollowed out as a doll.

The horror atmosphere in the film is not deliberately scary. Optical illusion, ghost in the mirror, stagnation pendulum and so on are all old terrier, but they are used properly.

But the plot of "Dead Silence" is advanced in a way that people often play. Under normal circumstances, "ghosts chasing people" is a normal mode, but in this film, it is basically "people chasing ghosts".

As a suspect in a police murder, the protagonist Jamie flies around the world with important evidence. Wherever he is haunted, he has to dig a grave in the middle of the night, which is simply a deliberate attempt to create a horror selling point for the film. No matter how dangerous the situation is, he is always alone with his bare hands; He knew the doll in his hand was weird and abnormal, but he even slept in the bed. Isn't it obvious that you can't pass yourself?

Besides, Mary Shaw, the evil spirit, took decades to kill a family. Jamie has been taking her possessed doll with him and running to her shelter, but she just won't kill it. She will wait until all the truth comes out. The director didn't give a reason for doing this, only that it was necessary for the plot. Jamie died in the early hours of the morning, so the film could not continue.

In order to finish the story, damn it, stop chasing; In order to trigger the plot, the cursed person was sent to die, and he died inexplicably. This is very easy for people to play.
