<One Minute Movie Review>

Director Ke Mengrong discusses the contrasting and interlaced narrative techniques with the interlaced two lines of time and space, and integrates horrors such as "Brave in the dark night, where strangers are not forbidden to live", "Crazy worship rituals and mysterious spells", "Temple people and ghosts", "mental abnormality" and other horrors The elements of the film are skillfully and skillfully used, such as the virtual and real scenes, makeup, hair, lighting, sound effects, camera movements, soundtracks, props, etc. The screaming performance, from Taiwan to Yunnan, eloquently tells the confession and counterattack of a mother and daughter who are deeply in love with a fool! The final ending is a big play of reversal creativity, testing the audience's ability to bear the curse!

In the deep mountains and forests, in the wilderness, I glimpsed the strange worship rituals of relatives, and sneaked into the forbidden places of dark crypts.

Spells, stone statues, hair, caterpillars, teeth, touching taboos, frightened in the dark night,

Some of them died on the spot, some of the living ran away, some of them became mentally ill, and relatives and friends died one after another within a few years!

Mother and daughter reunited, adopted volunteers to help, and invaded private houses in the middle of the night, but nothing was heard. Is it a dream or an evil spirit?

Fire Buddha Xiu is one-hearted, and life and death are famously dependent on each other. Is the mantra a blessing? Or a life-threatening curse?

The director of the movie "Incantation", Ke Mengrong, designed a frightening technique, making good use of makeup, props, scenes, lighting, positioning, sound effects, soundtracks, camera movements, etc., plus the interpretation of several main actors. In terms of creating a terrifying atmosphere and scary sections, the performance can be said to be very good, and some sudden scenes do indeed show a 100% frightening effect, which is similar to a thriller. In particular, Cai Genyan, the heroine who plays Ruo Nan, has superb acting skills. She transforms a single mother who is suspicious of ghosts, from a young and ignorant family and friends who suffered violent deaths, to fighting against evil spirits and spells again in order to save her daughter. In the dual discussion of human nature and thriller, it also shows the ambition to be in line with the mainstream of Western thrillers in recent years.

But the loss lies in the script. I want to take into account the horror of depicting scary ghosts and evil spirits, and the logical discussion between the touching mother-daughter family relationship. His relatives and friends, and even irrelevant adopters died, and the heroine, who went into the wilderness and violated the taboo of evil spirits like her boyfriend and companions, did not die immediately, and Yu Yu spoke to the audience on the big screen. This strange spell spanning six years of time and space, the director even at the end of the film, with the performance of the heroine, made a big joke for all the audience, whether it is funny or not, the depth of the feeling may vary from person to person. only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot!

It can only be said that this is just a movie, a thriller that tests the tolerance of audiences who like to watch horror movies. Everything is left in the theater and the screen, and there are no taboos!
