Are there any horror films that are more horrible than Japanese curses, resentments and curses?

At the beginning of introducing the latest popular download champion "Blair's Witch", three teenagers set out with fun and curiosity to find the legendary witch haunts the forest and bloody cases. Before entering the forest, they interviewed the residents of the nearest town. Did you notice the content of the interview? I ignored it, too, because I was doing something else. There is a legend in the town. The witch made many bloody cases, one of which killed two children, and mentioned the scene when she killed them. Let one face the wall, kill the other, then kill the one facing the wall. Speaking of which, do you remember a very impressive scene? Yes, yes, it's the last scene of the film. The director has never forgotten the theme of the whole play, the legend of the witch wyndell dichinson. Since the protagonist stepped into the forest, it is difficult for the audience to connect the story with the legend because of the complicated records of exploration and travel. The fear people feel comes from man-made disasters and natural disasters, which makes the film more similar to the nature of wild exploration in this section, and the audience forgets the unknown curse a little. Until the story developed to the point where they entered the cabin, a series of unexpected events happened, and they were frightened, panicked, chased and wailed. Just one second before the final picture was frozen, the audience who really entered the show raised a severe chill. One man was facing the wall, and the other was knocked down by a heavy blow, and the camera in his hand fell off. Who is the third party that absolutely exists in this process! ! ! Recall that the heroine cried desperately on the top floor just because the hero left her and went to the second floor alone? No, actually, something happened to her at that time. Panic made her just cry and shout the name of the hero, but she couldn't tell what it was. Until later, we felt the scene that the heroine had been "running" down from the top floor, the change and speed of the stairs, and the heroine finally called out the hero's name on the second floor, which seemed to contain a stronger warning (undeniable acting). I can only make a wild guess. When the heroine screamed three times on the top floor, she was actually crying in despair. She was caught by something. When the camera moves all the way to the stairs on the second floor, we can understand that the heroine was carried downstairs by something. When she reached the second floor, she was finally able to move. When the heroine called the hero's name to tell him of the danger, she was hit hard. The picture is fixed on a person facing the wall, which constitutes a perfect proof with the legend. The horror of the witch is that it has changed from legend to reality. The significance of the last shot, where is the focus of the whole film, runs through the whole film, which can be said to raise people's fears and doubts to the highest point, leaving endless suspense.

There are many unnatural changes in the lens, and the change is too fast. Not only that, but sometimes it is deliberate. Obviously, the emotional three people are still filming, and many details can actually be deleted. However, considering that the film is still commercial, if most people want to understand it (everyone has different cultural literacy), it is better to be direct and understand the director's approach.

Finally, I want to point out that this film is based on a real person, and all the scenes in the play are not shot according to the DV of the real story, but only imitated and added. The version of the true story is the legend of three college students who went to the forest to explore witches, but they disappeared. Three days later, the police launched a big search and searched by satellite, but they could not be found. It wasn't until N years later that another group of college students dug up the backpack and DV of one of the missing persons, and there was no other news, but the police didn't think there was anything wrong with the DV content after reading it. But it inspired the director. That's why this movie, Blair Witch.

I think there is a lot of water about the authenticity of horror movies. It may come from a legend or short story invented by someone on a whim. But if you watch it on the premise of believing, you can actually go deeper into the essence of the film than watching it casually. Entering the play is not blindly believing, but can take you to analyze the content of the whole play. In fact, it is easier to find shortcomings. When you devote yourself to the play, what happens around the protagonist, and does the protagonist's behavior conform to the normal situation? As a half-horror movie lover, I just simply express my views. In this way, I respect the director's artistic works, but my personal preferences are different.

First, the filming of this film can be described as unique, which can even make those old-fashioned thrillers fall behind;

Secondly, I personally think that the success of this film mainly uses the following unique points that can make the audience fall into the trap:

1. First, it intervened in the form of a documentary, which laid a sense of reality in the hearts of the audience;

2. From the documentary stage of "interview" to the plot of "live shooting", the photographer's third-party role quietly changed into "starring". Haha, this clever move can really capture the hearts of the audience!

(Insert a digression. When I saw the protagonists patting the piles of "premeditated" stones after entering the forest, I couldn't help laughing and talking to myself on the screen: "Haha, people are your land, witches are your land!" I think this should be a turning point in documentary and acting.

3. The important effect of shooting with "civil DV" equipment is that the picture is not clear but more real, which dilutes the audience's view of "acting and filming" and makes it easier for people to "get into the play".

4. Brilliance that can't be ignored: quarrels, curses, natural gasps and sobs of fear run through the whole process, except for the word "true".

The so-called protagonist, the witch, never appeared from beginning to end, but only created her existence and "casting spells" from the side. More fear and mystery!

6. Finally, the close-up of the lens was deliberately emphasized, and the photographer really encountered this experience.

In short-it's true!

Third, but then again, this film is unique, but when it comes to the degree of "terror and terror", different people have different views. I think it is really possible for those who are easy to "get into the play" to break through their own fear limits through that mysterious crying, that crying that shocked their hearts, and that mysterious night scene in the forest. But for people like me who are rational enough to watch and analyze in Mu Na, the intimidation effect is not great, and of course the duration is impossible to talk about-although I admit that I have been caught by well-designed wonderful clips many times, haha!

In fact, there are still some loopholes in the details of the film. For example, in a dilapidated house, if the audience is careful, they can find that the camera switches smoothly between Michael and the heroine, making people think that the photographer is someone else, which seems a bit self-deprecating, hehe.
