James Wan is nicknamed "Wen Zi" because the horror of his works lies in "silence". After reading it, coolness welled up in his hair from his back. Judging from the score of Douban, the level of Evocation series has surpassed James Wan's famous work Saw, but it has surpassed James Wan's classic masterpiece Dead Silence. (The douban score of Evocation 1 is 7.7, while the douban score of chainsaw fright is 8.4, which is slightly inferior, but it is also a masterpiece).
The series "Evocation of Soul" is dominated by horror elements-haunted houses. Therefore, after reading "Evocation", you may be afraid to look at the paintings on the wall and the shadows in the corner when you are alone in the house. Evocation is adapted from a chapter of Andra Perrin's horror novel True Story: A House of Darkness and a House of Light. I have to say that the producer is full of sincerity, not only letting the main actors visit the prototype of the story-Ms. Lorraine Warren, but also inviting the Warren family to visit the crew many times. Therefore, whether in the plot or in the performances of the starring actors, it can almost be said to be "impeccable." Of course, in the film, the producer didn't notice some details, so many non-critical phenomena were simply patted without reasonable explanation. If the producer paid more attention, we wouldn't be picky about the plot any more.
The "Evocation" series is very worth seeing. As can be seen from the film "The Nun" a few days ago, James Wan has great ambitions. As a prequel to the series "Evocation of the Soul", "Nun Nun" premiered in the cemetery of the monastery, full of gimmicks. Although the evaluation of nuns is not high, it does not affect the light of the evocation series. If you want to find a horror movie to enjoy, Evocation is definitely a good horror movie, and the octagonal music box will definitely make your back cold.
