As the camera suddenly fell forward violently, the image on the screen was blurry and dark for a moment, and then restored. The camera was very shaken, scanning the concerned faces of Cotton and the two in front. The photographer's voice sounded: "I'm fine, the camera fine."
The audience could breathe a sigh of relief, but the photographer fell down and thought he had been killed.
The camera glanced down at a pile of blood stains on the snow. It didn¡¯t say who it belonged to. It looked like it belonged to the photographer, or it might have been left by Maggie.
¡°Keep looking,¡± Cotton said. The camera turned, they arrived at the grove covered with cold snow, and after scanning around, there was no trace of Maggie. The female sound engineer looked around anxiously and said, "It's getting dark, we have to find her before Switzer comes back." she."
In several fast-cut searching scenes, the sky gradually darkened. When they stood next to the car parked far away from the ancient house, it was getting dark. It was not the real night scene of "day and night" in the car before. Cotton was talking. Bright flashlight, the discussion of the three members of the film team: "She may have left the farm long ago.", "Like last night.", "What should I do?
The camera pans, and a small truck drives back to the farm from the left side of the screen. Through the lowered window, you can see Switzer's frightened and angry face, "You are still here."
The headlights of the minivan illuminated the area around the road, and a figure suddenly appeared on the screen, standing not far from the road opposite Cotton and others. Maggie stood barefoot on the snow, with an expressionless face, covered in snowflakes. It fell on her long hair and the blood-stained gray dress.
¡°She¡¯s there,¡± the female sound engineer exclaimed. By this time the pickup truck had passed by, and they ran towards Maggie, but she turned and ran away again.
¡°Maggie, stand, Maggie,¡± Cotton shouted.
"Mr. Pastor, it seems you still don't believe in my existence." A strange sharp voice came from afar.
Amid the exclamations of the film crew and the nervousness of the audience, the camera zoomed in closer and the flashlight was turned on. Maggie at the far end first tilted her head back, and then turned upside down as if her upper body was broken. His face was crooked, and there seemed to be a crackling sound effect. The female sound engineer's frightened voice-over said: "Oh my God."
Audiences like Debbie who were first attracted by the viral marketing video "Devil Girl's Extreme Body Distortion" stared slightly, but when they finally came, they didn't expect that the full-length video was a hundred times more horrifying than the video.
Maggie pressed her hands into the snow, and her arching motion was like a tribute to the classic shot of Regan climbing down the stairs in The Exorcist. She did not climb, but stood on her head, jumped up, and continued to run forward, constantly a little nervous. Horribly distorted, he suddenly looked back, with a cold face, narrowed brown eyes, and a look full of resentment. His whole body was trembling slightly, and his expression gradually became ferocious.
"This is typical hysteria. She thinks she has been occupied by the devil" Cotton's panicked voice-over entered the camera and ran towards him, "Devil, I order you to leave."
So pale and powerless.
"Hahahaha" Maggie laughed loudly. The audience knew what the devil was mocking and saw her turn around, twisting her body several times like her joints crackling. The magnitude of each move was shocking. I was afraid that her bones would break somewhere. Suddenly, she screamed and rushed toward the camera, opening her mouth ferociously with bloody teeth.
"Maggie, wake up," "Back off, back off." Cotton and the others retreated in panic, and Maggie turned around and ran away again.
"We'd better leave, something's not right" The photographer couldn't hide his fearful voice.
¡°She is just a 6-year-old little girl. There is no devil in this world,¡± Cotton shouted, taking the lead in chasing after her.
Many viewers feel breathless. The weirdness, depression, fear, and cruelty accumulated from the first second are now erupting. Look at the string of barefoot footprints on the dark snow. It is really shocking.
"This is not a special effect, right She really twisted herself like that, really performed barefoot in the snow" Emma didn't know what to say.
"That guy is so willing to give up." Gia sighed, "If this is a movie made to pick up girls, I don't understand. Does he know how to pick up girls?"
On the screen, the dedicated photographer and photography assistant still chased after them. The camera turned away. They arrived at the small woods again, and then chased behind the woods for the first time. The flashlight light swept around, and they saw the dark and blurry front, Maggie. There, beside her, stood the tombstone of a grave.
Her right hand rested on the top of the tombstone, half of her face was covered by long scattered hair, and the other half was submerged in darkness.
The audience frowned. They could already guess that it was Maggie's mother's grave. What did the damn devil want to do?
The tension in the screening room was about to solidify, and the tension on the screen had also become qualitative. Cotton and others slowly walked up and asked, "Maggie?", "Are you okay?" At this moment, everyone on and off the screen was unexpected. When the situation happened, Maggie suddenly burst into tears, hugging the tombstone and crying helplessly, "I can't bear it anymore, Mom, I can't support it anymore"
"Mental problems." Cotton turned aroundHe whispered to the camera.
When they approached, Maggie did not attack them, but just cried bitterly, her face was frozen and blue, and her whole body was trembling. It was so pitiful that it was heartbreaking. The female sound engineer stepped forward and hugged her, but Maggie struggled to leave. The female sound engineer said helplessly: "We have to find clothes and shoes for her. She is going to be very cold."
¡°It¡¯s in the car, I¡¯ll go get it.¡± Voice-over from the photography assistant.
"Oh, momI can't hold it anymore" Maggie was still crying.
The audience is worried for many reasons. Maggie is undoubtedly pitiful, but is Maggie now Maggie or a devil? The devil can deceive people, and there is a real purpose behind lies, instigation, and attacks. Every three-year-old knows not to believe in the devil
However, Cotton and the others still don¡¯t know that Maggie has really been invaded by demons.
The three film critics all keenly judged that just as the voice is not weird, the demon in TPT does not seem to be particularly weird. The demon is definitely controlling Maggie now, and it deliberately led them to Maggie's mother's grave. Why?
"Don't look at our Grande and Potko avoiding the praise of film critics. I can't stand it.
As far as the script is concerned, in fact, starting from the second act, Kuhler made many changes not only in the setting, but also used some of their scenes to conduct them compactly. Their cat-killing scene was not done in front of Cotton and others. The killing was so penetrating, and there was no emotional foreshadowing between Maggie and Katie. She just went to the barn by herself in the middle of the night and killed another farm animal.
From the second half of the second act to the ending, it is also this section that is a completely new plot written by Cooler.
If it is the progress of their script, Cotton and the others have just cut off Maggie's chain, because some scenes from the beginning will be longer, and there is also the plot where Cotton and the others visit the local priest Manley, etc., the rhythm is far slower than today It was so exciting to watch it at night. Each suspense with obvious answers is like a wave of waves, making people unable to stop.
Not to mention the talent in directing, a good director can make a bad story exciting, and a bad director can make a good story boring.
On the screen, everything in the camera is still at the graveside. Maggie has put on a pair of red shoes and a men's thick black coat. Red, black and white snow form a strong visual conflict, invading the eyes of the audience. She was still shaking a little, whether it was from the cold or from crying. She choked with sobs and said to Cotton and the others: "Mom didn't die of cancer, it was that guy who killed her"
"You mean your father?" Cotton was surprised, and the female sound engineer was immediately furious: "He is a beast Maggie, don't be afraid, we won't let him hurt you again."
"After my mother got cancer, his temper became even more violent. He was very drunk that day and he touched me When my mother saw her scolding him, he suddenly went crazy." Maggie started crying again, her face full of tears. With a look of fear, "He, he hit her with an axe Mom fell to the ground, a lot of blood"
The female sound engineer hugged the trembling Maggie tightly and comforted her repeatedly: "We will help you, you don't have to be afraid anymore." Then she said to the camera: "Cotton, we have to call the police."
The camera glanced at Cotton next to him. He looked thoughtful and did not speak.
Maybe the people on the screen were angry about Switzer's crime, but the audience felt another chill. This was clearly the devil lying.
"He burned her body, and he told me not to tell anyone, or he would kill me. Ramon went out that day and didn't know this He was afraid that I would tell others, so he wouldn't let us go out. He lied to everyone. I took my mother out for medical treatment. Within a week, I heard that my mother had died of illness. I brought her coffin back and buried her in the backyard of our farm"
Maggie's tears fell in clusters, as if she had been hit by tear gas, "But no one else knew why my mother didn't even have a decent funeral, because she didn't go out for treatment at all, and because there was no body in the coffin, she was buried by him. Burned, woo woo woo"
"Cotton, call the police." The female sound recordist said again, and the photographer's voice also sounded: "Yes, this is a murder and rape case."
"We don't know Maggie is sick." Cotton's tone was euphemistic. Could this be just a figment of her mental disorder? He added: "Don't be impulsive. Calling the police will destroy her and a family."
The audience almost knew that the devil was deceiving people, but they still had a little suspicion. Thinking of the previous interviews with passers-by in the town, they all said that the Switzer family seemed to have disappeared. Thinking of Switzer's irritability But it was made clear. The existing devil always reminds every audience that this is a conspiracy
"What are you doing there?" suddenly sounded an angry voice-over, Switzer.
The camera became very shaky, and when I turned around, I saw Switzer and Ramon running over, "Get off my farm immediately." Switzer seemed to be hitting someone, Ramon was about to pull Maggie over for protection, and the female sound engineer asked Cotton He winked and said: "Let's leave first." Cotton asked directly: "Maggie is pregnant, do you know?"
Close-up lensIn their heads, both of them were stunned, and then Switzer's face turned very ugly and murmured: "Devil, it has defiled Maggie." Ramon asked suspiciously: "Are you kidding me?"
The female sound engineer suddenly lost control and cursed: "It's you, you beast. You killed your wife, you raped Maggie, you beast." She broke into the camera and said, "Stop recording, catch him." The screen was shaking. In the confusion, Switzer said angrily: "Will you say it again?" Maggie was holding the tombstone and crying.
With the photographer¡¯s scream, the image blurred for a moment, and it was obvious that the camera had been shut down. When recording resumed, Switzer and Ramon had figured out the situation.
Switzer was saying to Cotton angrily and sadly: "The devil confused her. What she said was not true. When Amy was diagnosed with cancer, it was already in the advanced stage. She was hit hard and left. She was a simple person and didn¡¯t want to hold a big funeral. I was not in the mood at the time, so"
"You're lying, you burned mommy," Maggie suddenly shouted, breaking down and crying, "you are a murderer, you killed mommy"
Everyone on the screen was helpless and Switzer was a huge suspect. It seemed that calling the police was the best way. At this time, the camera captured Ramon walking away with a sullen face.
The audience outside the screen vaguely felt something, and Gia hissed: "They are going to open the coffin." As a horror movie, it is impossible to call the police for help, so how can we get the truth? There is a way out there, Maggie said there were no bones in the coffin, and Switzer said there were, then just open it and you will know who is lying
At the same time, the three film critics were all excited and realized that opening the coffin was an outrageous blasphemy, especially as Maggie¡¯s mother is a devout believer and should be the one with the strongest faith and most loyalty to God in the screen story. People, and demons, want to open her coffin
"Ramon" shot everything, Ramon strode back, holding a hoe in his hand, expressionless, walked over without saying anything, waved the hoe with both hands and began to hoe under the grave, and suddenly the snow splashed . Everyone exclaimed, and Switzer shouted angrily: "Don't touch your mother's grave."
"Is she in there? Why don't we let us see her for the last time?" Ramon cursed explosively, obviously having a lot of resentment towards his father.
"I just don't want you to see her dead" Switzer looked sad, "I don't want us to think she's dead"
The rough man showed his inner fragility. The rebellious teenager only paused, his eyes turned red, and continued to hoe, "If you kill her, I will kill you."
Switzer suddenly stopped saying anything and turned around to walk away. After a few quick cuts, he came back with a hoe and said sadly: "Gentlemen, the devil is lying. I will show you what he is lying. Mr. Pastor, if you really know how to exorcise demons, please help." Us." After that, he also went to dig up the soil of the tomb.
¡°Oh Lord¡Lord¡¡± Cotton was at a loss. The same was true for the female sound recordist, who said uneasily: "We should seek help" Maggie, who was standing next to her, was still sobbing, but much calmer than before. Her brown eyes glanced at the camera, revealing Strange eyes.
The audience felt a chill in their hearts, it was the devil's eyes that was about to achieve its goal
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The snow has been hoeed away, the soil has been dug up, and a large pit of medium depth was dug out, with a Christian-style coffin buried in it. The light of the flashlight seemed to drive away the darkness, but left the edges of the coffin glowing with an eye-catching light.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Cotton's voiceover said, "I think we should all deal with it calmly."
His words were ignored by Switzer and his son. They put down their hoes and started to open the coffin.
No audience in the two screening halls could bear to watch anymore. They were depressed, heartbroken, and flustered, but they couldn't help but watch. It was tense, suspenseful, and scary.
