Thailand's biggest horror movie of the year? The best mindset is to lower expectations

On a hot day, you urgently need to find one or two horror movies to cool down.

It just so happens that there is such a horror film recently, which is quite worth paying attention to.

The popularity of this Douban has been maintained well, and the score is also okay, and now Douban still has 7.3 points.

That's the Thai horror film that many friends have been trying recently:

This translated name is quite interesting, homophonic terrier "Jiya Rent", change the word immediately horror movie, at least the title is very attractive.

Moreover, there are quite a few highlights of the film.

The themes of the story are cults, folk horror films, seizures, and even claims to be based on real events (you see, or Thai filmmakers dare to fool, we can't).

Moreover, after the film was released in Thailand, it quickly became Thailand's popular horror film of the year.

According to official sources, the film broke Thailand's opening record this year in the first weekend, and then it was also released in Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as many countries such as Southeast Asia, and the response was also good.

Of course, the film is so hot, and it is inseparable from the behind-the-scenes team of this film. This is a new work launched by the well-known Thai film company GDH559 (his family is basically a variety of popular Thai films).

At the same time, the director of this film is also a big guy of Thai horror films.

The director of this film, Sofen Shadafis, has many years of experience in the production of horror films, was the screenwriter of the well-known Thai fear "Ghost" and "Siamese Yin", and he has also written and directed "Ghost Will Ying", and at the same time, he has also participated in "Crossroads of Death" and "Ghost Chaos 5", etc., which can be regarded as a Thai fear boss.

Anyway, with the above various reasons and backgrounds, it is not surprising that this "Renting a Sacrifice House" will receive so much attention.

In particular, Thai horror films over the years can also be regarded as Asian horror films. Coupled with their various beliefs and countless folklore, it is indeed the breeding ground for horror films.

This time's "Sacrificial House Rental" is also a folklore + cult-style horror film.

Like many horror movies, the film begins with a warm and harmonious family. The heroine Xiaoning's family of three originally lived happily and happily, and there were two suites at home: an old house for self-occupation and an apartment for rent.

As a result, the rented apartment was destroyed by the previous tenant, and it was difficult to rent it out again. The agent said that if you rent out the old house, it just so happens that someone wants to rent it out at a high price, you can live in this apartment!

And her husband Kewen, who was originally very opposed to renting out the old house, suddenly changed his attitude and agreed to rent the old house.

So, they rented the old house to a mysterious mother and daughter.

Then, there began to be all kinds of strange things, Xiao Ning always felt that the mother and daughter who rented their old house were not particularly right, and even, they found that they had fake identities.

And as the plot progressed, she found that her husband seemed to be a little abnormal, and even went to the rooftop to read some strange scriptures at 3 a.m. every day.

Anyway, the story began to become more and more evil.

She discovered that she might have fallen into a cult plot.

At this time, the style of the film gradually darkened the wind, visually adding horror elements, all kinds of evil things, dark tones, jumping scares or something, all of them came...

And this, in fact, is only the first part of the film, a story told from the heroine Xiaoning as the main perspective, this paragraph is still the main suspense route, supplemented by horror content.

When the story is halfway through, it enters the second part, which becomes the main perspective of her husband Kewen, begins to reveal the secret to the audience, and also allows us to understand more about the reasons for the evil in the family.

The last paragraph is to introduce the final truth of the entire story from the perspective of the tenant, and bring out the final ending of the film.

In the end, the film is through these three stories and the crossing of timelines to complete the entire story. After reading it at the end, you will understand what is going on.

In fact, it is quite good to disassemble the narrative in this way, step by step, and it also makes the whole story very smooth and easy to understand. All the plots, backgrounds, and various suspense were finally broken down for us, and there was no need to think too much, and the whole story ended smoothly.

Anyway, from the perspective of decompression, this kind of brainless horror film is quite suitable.

As a fusion of cult and folk horror films "Sacrificial House Rental", the film does involve a lot of strange and evil things.

Of course, if the requirements are higher and hopefully more stimulating, it is indeed difficult to meet the requirements of some people, including the description of folklore and cults, and some lack of novelty. At least it doesn't meet the weird folklore descriptions that many people expect, and it's basically expected.

In addition, in the first part of the heroine's perspective, I don't know why, I also borrowed a little Hitchcock elements, for a while, you thought you were watching "Flock of Birds".

In addition, the core setting of the film is actually to seize the house, which is also a setting that has been used in many horror movies before, and I have seen many reviews mention "Master Key".

After all, many of us believe that soul and body can be separated, so many of these films have been spawned.

And this film is trying to give this topic more meaning of family affection, so that it has more dissemination and public recognition.

After all, the protagonist of the story is a sweet family of three, and such a combination is the most suitable for making a scene with family affection.

At least, from the plot, this emotional line does make the character's behavior have a certain degree of rationality, although I also feel that some characters' practices are very speechless. However, from the logic of the characters' behavior, it also makes sense that they make such things and choices.

What's more interesting is that since this is a story of renting a house, renting your house to someone else just echoes the exchange of soul and body, and it is also a concept of sacrifice, which is an interesting reference.

For this "Sacrificial House Rental", the best mentality is to lower expectations, do not demand too much from this film, what is the best of the year, the thriller degree of explosion, that may still be disappointing.

But just as a casual cool work in the summer, look at the excitement, relieve the heat, in fact, this film is still enough.

At least, the theme of this film is quite evil, and the atmosphere is well created. Especially that ending, well, quite interesting.

It's okay to watch and play, it's still good.

Still like that, everyone's requirements for horror films are still too high.

A horror film with a score of 7.3 is actually enough.

If you haven't seen it yet, it's okay to watch it tonight.
