- In the quiet screening room, the audience watched the fast-paced series of scene changes on the screen and learned the background of the story.
Cotton is a priest, an exorcist, and a descendant of a family of exorcists. Because his premature son relied on modern medicine to survive and cure his ear disease, his faith was shaken. And because of the news that a little girl died due to an exorcism, his conscience prompted him to make a documentary to expose the exorcism scam. .
He picked out a letter seeking help for exorcism and took the film team to the Switzer Farm in Evan Wood (Vu) where the incident occurred. On the way, he talked about psychological medicine, how patients thought they were possessed by demons and went crazy, but in fact it was just a psychological problem, and exorcism was just a form of psychological treatment.
"An exorcist is a kind of doctor? You can call me that." As the Cherokee drove forward, Cotton's face covered with a band-aid smiled brightly.
After this bright opening of about 7 minutes, the three film critics became more and more interested. Now it is certain that TPT has produced its own pseudo-documentary horror film style. It is by no means a copy of "Blair Witch", it is a new The birth of.
"The technology is very good, and the story is also well told. The classic proposition of "the conflict between modern technology and religious beliefs" appears in the exorcism theme.
When talking about exorcism movies, you can¡¯t do without "The Exorcist". This movie is known as the scariest movie in film history. The biggest horror is the blasphemy against the Christian faith. Many viewers broke down, cried, and fainted after watching it, just like last year. The Passion of the Christ. But it is not simply for the purpose of terror, but also conducts many in-depth discussions, and that proposition is one of them.
They all know the commercial positioning of "The Exorcist Video". It is inappropriate to compare a UU-minute pseudo-documentary horror film with a 20-minute classic. Their expectations for TPT are not whether it is as mysterious as "The Exorcist" , but whether it is scary enough and whether there is anything touching.
The three of them feel that film critics really don¡¯t have high standards for exorcism films, but the last good exorcism film seemed to be The Exorcist, which was more than three years ago. The two subsequent sequels and last year¡¯s prequel were all It sucks. Custer's key words for the prequel's review were "totally mediocre", Sheik's "a failure" and Orr's "a waste of time".
They were not frightened, and there were no mood swings. Other critics said it was "messy, boring, cliche no scary hysterical scenes, not even an exorcism." Everyone doesn't know what's wrong with the minds of those Hollywood people, so "The Exorcist Prequel" with a production cost of 360,000 and an attempt to restart the series in the 21st century did not escape the butcher's knife of the film critics: l Rotten Tomatoes Freshness.
But surprises always happen when you are not mentally prepared
This opening can be called "fascinating", the story is unfolding, the mood is building, and there is a great sense of expectation. It¡¯s all thanks to the anticipation created by an Exorcist or TPT trailer: there are real demons and people are actually being invaded by demons
But Cotton is a big liar. He doesn¡¯t really understand exorcism. He doesn¡¯t even believe in exorcism. This makes people wonder, can he do it? It's very possible, because Cotton is actually capable. He has an ancient exorcism book passed down from his family. This makes people wonder how he will change and respond after learning the truth.
It is these expectations that make people care about this story and want to see the expected excitement. As a commercial film, its spread is successful.
Shek thought that this was really due to its extraordinary sense of immersion. First of all, it was a clever combination of exorcism and mockumentary. I didn¡¯t have this feeling before watching it, but now I have to lament that this angle brings so much to the cliched exorcism film. It has gone to a new style; at the same time, it is inseparable from its new style photography, precise shots and editing, which allows people to have a huge sense of reality even though they know it is a movie.
If compared with "The Exorcist Prequel", TPT will become a classic.
The three of them really didn¡¯t expect this. Grande and Porter made a good movie? Thinking about it is like a bucket of cold water being poured on them. Although I don't care about people when watching movies, these two really can't give people confidence.
Maybe it just started well. The first act of the movie is not over yet. Nothing is certain now. Just because the first 7 minutes are good does not mean that the whole 3 minutes is good. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. It often happens. A good movie is one that satisfies the audience's expectations while also Surprisingly, bad movies become more confusing and boring as they go on.
Bloodlust has always been in the hearts of the three of them. If they were disappointed when they walked out of the movie theater, the butcher's knife would fall.
"The exorcism scene doesn't need to be as exciting as The Exorcist. If it's hysterical, I won't be disappointed." Shek laughed in his heart. It's just a low requirement, but too many filmmakers can't even achieve low requirements. .
"This doesn't look like a mockumentary" At the same time, Gersta said confusedly, after watching it for a while, why is it not the style of "Blair Witch" in his memory.
"Don't talk." Debbie was caught in the drama and immediately told him not to make any noise. It really affected the atmosphere.
"Didn't you say this is a movie like "The Blair Witch Project"?" Gerstad continued, a little dissatisfied, "The mirror"It's not swaying enough, it's too much like a movie, I don't feel it"
"I like it very much. Why don't you go see "Blair Witch" if you want to see something stunning?" Debbie's freckled face was also dissatisfied with him affecting her viewing of the movie: "Stop arguing."
Among the ordinary audiences in the two screening rooms, only a few people were talking. Most people were already invested in the world of the screen. Technical techniques and so on were not their concern, nor was it whether it was "Blair Witch" or not. They were originally there to watch the new movie. , as long as it looks good.
"How are you now?" Emma asked Gia again, watching the screen showing Cotton and his party arriving at the small town of Evanwood. On the way to the farm, they were asking passers-by for directions and interviewing them. Someone said that Switzer The family has "disappeared" for a long time. It is said that the place was once haunted, and the mysterious atmosphere becomes more and more intense.
She is also becoming more and more unsure. Unlike what she thought before, the movie is not bad for the time being, but it is quite attractive Is it because she likes Yui so it gets extra points? Is it actually bad?
"It's still early" Gia said again, her expression seemed a little different and her tone softened.
"As far as these are concerned?" Emma couldn't help but want to know something.
"For now, that bastard genius bad boy took ten minutes of beautiful images of his horse at an incredible speed." Gia's firecracker words paused, "ECK"
That meansit¡¯s not bad, it¡¯s really not bad at all. Emma looked dumbfounded, oh yes, after all this is a VIYR movie, it can't be bad. Isn't this the heroine played by Nina who hasn't made her debut yet? Does she know how to act? She will mess everything up ¡
On the big screen, Cotton and others arrived at the farm, surrounded by withered scenes covered in ice and snow, cold breath, gray tones, and the camera's shaking degree increasing slightly, taking pictures of the old house in the distance. The screening room outside the screen suddenly seemed to be frozen, and the atmosphere had been created for a long time. Being close to the devil at this moment made people feel chilly.
Switzer and Ramon appeared, a middle-aged farmer with a serious smile, and his son Ramon, a rebellious but caring teenager.
"I'm on the stage." Damian was excited, and his parents were happy and relieved. Every starring actor will celebrate this glorious moment with their relatives and friends when they see themselves on the stage.
As the video continued, Switzer told Cotton the situation. Many livestock were killed on the farm one after another. He was sure that it was his daughter Maggie who did it, but when he asked her, she didn't remember anything. This abnormal situation has been going on for some time. He suspected that she was invaded by demons, so he asked Cotton for help.
As the scene unfolded, Cotton went to the unused barn to check, and another depressing and bloody shot appeared. Under the dim light, the corpses of the recently killed livestock and poultry were put aside as if on display, with a large pool of dark red blood. Some of the animal body parts began to rot, looking weird and disgusting.
The camera panned and moved closer, focusing on one of the dead donkeys, whose belly had been cut open. Suddenly, something flashed next to it.
A scream rang out in the auditorium of "Devil" Landmark Cinema, startling many viewers. Lev and Bard looked around in shock, "Master Gia's voice"
¡°What, what¡¯s wrong? Emma was almost frightened. Fortunately, she wasn¡¯t eating popcorn, otherwise she might have choked to death.
Gia was surprised and said: "Did you see it? There was a demon flashing past just now." Emma was surprised: "I didn't see it was it there?"
"Yes." Gia nodded and saw clearly that in one or more frames, there was definitely a ferocious demon face next to the dead donkey, as if it was eating the corpse.
It was just a flash. If you had blinked at the time, you wouldn't have seen it. Even if you didn't blink, it seems that not everyone would notice it, but
"That bastard is brainwashing the audience." Gia gritted her teeth and felt crazy excited. Boy, what do you want to do? "Come on, this is not scary enough."
She didn't know when this technique first appeared, but she knew it was used in "Scorpio Rising" as early as the 1960s. Later, it was used in many movies in "The Exorcist", but it may not be included in this category, because those demons Faces are either directly in a single shot, or appear suddenly in obvious positions. She didn't know if it should be called stream of consciousness or something, but she still remembered Brad and Pitt doing this in "Fight Club".
Looking at Emma, ??Gia wanted to laugh. Do you think it didn¡¯t affect you if you didn¡¯t notice? That may be wrong. As long as you don't blink at that moment, you have actually seen it. The human eye can fully receive frames per second. I heard that even 48 frames is fine.
So those few frames of the demon eating corpses have entered the brains of all the viewers who saw it, and affected everyone's nerves. They may not be aware of it consciously, and may not see clearly what it is, but their subconscious mind is quietly The ground is tight.
It is said that this is a method of brainwashing, inserting some information into the movie, and in this way secretly implanting it into the brains of the audience.
"It seemed like the devil appeared just now" There were also other viewers.I felt a sudden chill.
"Devil." The three film critics nodded silently, and some viewers shouted "Devil." That flicker should be the devil. In this way, the story officially confirms the existence of the devil.
Some viewers have seen it, and some have not. Regardless of whether they are confused or not, you cannot pause playback when watching a movie in a theater.
The scene on the screen cuts again and again. In the living room of the old house, Switzer shows Cotton the evidence and Maggie's blood-stained clothes. At this time, there was the sound of footsteps on the stairs, and the clear voice of the girl came: "Dad, who is here?" Maggie is about to appear.
Emma¡¯s heart suddenly lifted and her eyes widened.
