Why does the horror film The Curse evaluate polarization?

Only after watching this movie can we know all about this movie and understand the horror and boredom of this movie, so there will also be polarization in the evaluation of this horror movie. As a horror film released in Taiwan Province this year, it tells the story of a mother and daughter who are separated from each other by ghosts, as well as the unbearable past and cursed ending when the story is slowly unraveled. It is said that it was adapted from a real event in Kaohsiung, but looking at the whole film, it has nothing to do with the real event, but is related under marketing. Perhaps from the horror film itself, it is scary enough, but from the audience's expectations of horror movies, it is not enough.

1. The excellence of the film Curse.

As a horror movie, a horror movie in Taiwan Province, China, the film skillfully uses and shows all kinds of Chinese horror. Such as the spell of the film name itself, as well as various myths, legends, runes, folk customs and religious elements.

If it appears out of thin air, it may be difficult for people to imagine a kind of terror. Many of them are looming, some appear in real life, and some things are unclear, so that their appearance causes the horror of the viewers.

The hero in the film is a mother and she has a lovely daughter. This kind of character setting also reminds the audience of their preference for their daughter as a child, but this preference will also make people feel terrible because of her abnormality.

2. The shortcomings of the film Curse.

The film is said to be adapted from a real event, but the difference between the film itself and the real event is too great. If people go to the movies in the rush of real events, the so-called real events are just a gimmick.

The film is expressed in the form of documentary, and the presence and shooting of DV express the horror of being there. However, as the setting of DV, there is no DV in the process of the film, which makes it easy for the audience to jump out of the film and think about where DV is, or whether it is DV shooting, and forget the horror itself.

The film has some flashbacks to tell the past through the present. When the past and the present are interspersed back and forth, it also makes the audience want to deduce the ins and outs of the story, but it is too unbearable to scrutinize.

finally, the film itself is a curse, but for the people who watch it, it is not terror but bad luck.

3. As a horror movie, The Curse is just a horror movie.

If you think of it as an ordinary horror movie, it is actually scary enough. Perhaps when defining it as the ceiling of a Mandarin horror film, I'm afraid it still needs a lot of improvement.

Perhaps, for people who watch movies, they have placed too much hope on it as a horror film, and they also expect its follow-up works to be scary enough.

I remember the first time I saw a Taiwan Province movie, The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years. The style is fresh and memorable. Although the film types may be different, we can also see the intention and intention of the film. I also hope that future Taiwan Province horror films can be more attentive and bring better viewing experience.
