预告片写based on a true story 在wiki上查到一些资料,和大家分享一下Dybbuk boxFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaA dybbuk box, or dibbuk box, is a wine cabinet which is said to be haunted by a dybbuk. In Jewish folklore, a dybbuk is a restless, usually malicious, spirit believed to be able to haunt and even possess the living. The box achieved recognition after it was auctioned on eBay with an accompanying horror story and is the original inspiration for the 2012 film "The Possession."Legend and historyThe term "Dibbuk Box" was first used by Kevin Mannis to describe the box in the item information for an eBay auction to describe it as the subject of an original story (not the story for the film) describing supposedly true events which he considered to be related to the box. Mannis, a writer and creative professional by trade, owned a small antiques and furniture refinishing business in Portland, Oregon at the time.[1][2] According to Mannis' story, he purportedly bought the box at an estate sale in 2003. It had belonged to a German Holocaust survivor named Havela, who had escaped to Spain and purchased it there before her immigration to the United States.[3] Havela's granddaughter told Mannis that the box had been bought in Spain after the Holocaust. Upon hearing that the box was a family heirloom, Mannis offered to give the box back to the family but the granddaughter insisted that he take it. "We don't want it." She said. She told him the box had been kept in her grandmother's sewing room and was never opened because a dybbuk was said to live inside it. [3]On opening the box, Mannis found that it contained two 1920s pennies, a lock of blonde hair bound with cord, a lock of black/brown hair bound with cord, a small statue engraved with the Hebrew word "Shalom", a small, golden wine goblet, one dried rose bud, and a single candle holder with four octopus-shaped legs; all items supposedly used in Jewish folklore to exorcise demons.[3]Numerous owners of the box have reported that strange phenomena accompany it. In his story, Mannis claimed he experienced a series of horrific nightmares shared with other people while they were in possession of the box or when they stayed at his home while he had it. His mother suffered a stroke on the same day he gave her the box as a birthday present — October 28. Every owner of the box has reported that smells of cat urine or jasmine flowers[4][5] and nightmares involving an old hag accompany the box.[3] Iosif Neitzke, a Missouri student at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri and the last person to auction the box on eBay, claimed that the box caused lights to burn out in his house and his hair to fall out.[3] Jason Haxton, Director of the Museum of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri, had been following Neitzke's blogs regarding the box and when he was ready to be rid of the box Neitzke sold it to Haxton. Haxton wrote The Dibbuk Box, and claimed that he subsequently developed strange health problems, including hives, coughing up blood, and "head-to-toe welts".[5] Haxton consulted with Rabbis (Jewish religious leaders) to try to figure out a way to seal the dybbuk in the box again. Apparently successful, he took the freshly resealed box and hid it at a secret location, which he will not reveal.[6]Skeptic Chris French, head of the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit at Goldsmiths' College, told an interviewer he believed that the box's owners were "already primed to be looking out for bad stuff. If you believe you have been cursed, then inevitably you explain the bad stuff that happens in terms of what you perceive to be the cause. Put it like this: I would be happy to own this object."[5]The cabinet has the Shema carved into the side of it.[3] Its dimensions are 12.5" × 7.5" × 16.25".[3]
国外稀奇古怪的鬼物还真多,恐怖片定律,莫名其妙就特别喜欢的旧物千万别要。
一开头,我以为那个老太太要挂了,最后看到她全身绑着绷带还奇怪,这个鬼居然没要她命,一个老太太全身扭曲成那样居然没死,也是牛逼!
用上帝视角来说,小女主的妈妈真烦人,全篇看起来就是和新男友亲亲我我压根没关注自己女儿的变化,出事了只会指责前夫,怪别人总比怪自己来的轻松。
好可惜那个帮他们的小哥哥哦,最后居然完蛋了,哎,大概就是为了第二部做伏笔吧。
标题就已经够说明问题了吧o(︶︿︶)o 偶尔的恐怖气氛营造得还将就,驱魔部分较短。
看恐怖片还是得在空旷安静的地方才行,黑暗、凉飕飕的感觉,或者带个耳机。。。
Maybe mischievous spirits do haunt this Jewish scroll cabinet, or maybe it's just another Web-spawned legend run wild.July 25, 2004|Leslie Gornstein | Special to The TimesA small wooden cabinet went up for auction on EBay. Inside were two locks of hair, one granite slab, one dried rosebud, one goblet, two wheat pennies, one candlestick and, allegedly, one "dibbuk," a kind of spirit popular in Yiddish folklore.The seller, a Missouri college student named Iosif Nietzke, described the container as a "haunted Jewish wine cabinet box" that had plagued several owners with rotten luck and a spate of bizarre paranormal stunts."We have definitely seen a tidal wave of 'bad luck,' " the seller wrote on EBay in the first week of February. "Most disturbingly, last Tuesday, my hair began to fall out. I'm in my early 20s and I just got a clean blood test back from the doctor's...."Within days, the box's opening bid of $1 jumped to $50; that value soon quadrupled. On Feb. 9, the box sold for $280 to a university museum curator named Jason Haxton.In the months after, the hype surrounding the wooden box has mushroomed. The Forward, a 107-year-old Jewish newspaper on the East Coast, ran a story about the box's sale and supposed otherworldly powers. Since then, the EBay auction page has logged more than 140,000 hits.At least five authors, one screenwriter and a documentary crew have sought up-close access, says Haxton, a 46-year-old father of two who also lives in Missouri. Rabbis, Orthodox Jews and Hebrew intellectuals have contacted Haxton, offering to crack the box's mysteries.Haxton says he's had to unlist his home number, change his e-mail address and erect a website, www.dibbukbox.com, just to field inquiries. He agreed to be interviewed only if he could add this request: Please, please, box fans, leave him alone.The strange case of the bogey in a box is threatening to become an urban legend as big as any ghostly hitchhiker, fried rat or stolen body part. In Chicago, Bull basketball fans have paused their online arguments over salary caps to post theories on what's in the box. Ditto with newsgroups usually dedicated to Subaru ownership or NASCAR tickets. In Long Island, a group of particularly dedicated ghost hunters has founded a Yahoo chat group dedicated solely to the box.All the while, dozens of Web surfers have e-mailed Haxton through his website, complaining of strange headaches, nightmares and other plagues."One person pleaded with me to get all images of the box off the Internet because they would provide an electronic portal for the spirit into every computer that visited the site," he says.Most often, discussions of dybbuks (as it is more commonly spelled) are accompanied by plenty of snorting skepticism -- "I think I'm going to put my haunted Game Cube on EBay," one Texan recently posted -- but the number of those fascinated with the little wooden box continues to climb.The reason, experts say, is tied to a witch's brew of trends and developments unique to the new millennium: A booming blog culture; a growing interest in Jewish mysticism, particularly cabala; and high-speed Internet connections that allow photos to be downloaded onto countless home computers.Dybbuks have haunted Yiddish folk tales since the dawn of Judaism's mystical movement in the latter half of the 16th century. "Dybbuk" literally means "an attachment, a cleaving to something"; a dybbuk is thought to be the spirit of a person who, instead of drifting into the next realm, sticks around and enters the bodies of living people."It's essentially a kook subject," muses Rabbi Eli Schochet, a professor of rabbinic thought at L.A.'s Academy for Jewish Religion, which trains rabbis and cantors. "But I could never say that it's impossible because, obviously, there's precedent for these things that are recorded in different religious traditions, including my own."The EBay auction page (still viewable on Haxton's website) claims to document experiences from two previous owners, told in the first person and pasted back to back in the item's description space.The tale, according to the site, began in fall 2001, when Oregon antiques collector and small-business owner Kevin Mannis discovered the box -- smaller than a case of beer, decorated with two metal plates in the shape of grape clusters -- at a neighborhood estate sale. (Mannis later told The Times he bought the box in 2000, but so much bad fortune befell him in that first year that he didn't want to tell potential buyers about it.)Mannis said the estate sale's host told him that the box had belonged to her 103-year-old grandmother, who had dubbed the cabinet a "dybbuk box" and warned her kids ... never to open it.Heedless of this spooky back story, Mannis bought the box and put it in the basement of his antiques business. A half-hour after the box arrived, the creepiness, as he describes it, began: While Mannis ran a few errands, a mysterious force apparently went berserk in his shop, cursing and smashing light bulbs and scaring a store clerk."When I got back to the shop, I went to investigate," Mannis says from his Oregon home. "I remember heading toward the back and walking into what I can only describe as a wall of scent. It smelled like jasmine flowers. You could take one more step and not smell a thing, and take a step backward and be surrounded by it again."Later, he says, when he gave the box to his mother as a gift, she suffered a stroke that temporarily left her unable to speak. She penned the tersely scrawled admonishment "hate gift" and Mannis has not discussed the object with her since, he says. The FBI then raided Mannis' shop, he says, hauling out loads of electronic equipment. He got his stuff back but says he never got an explanation for the raid. Add to his list of woes that he lost his shop lease and was a victim of identity theft."All of this stuff has an explanation that doesn't necessarily point to this box," Mannis muses. "But when you take everything together, it becomes such a weird coincidence."The 'curse' changes handsBY June 2003, Mannis had had enough and posted the box on EBay. The high bidder was Nietzke, who, for $140, got the box, contents and -- presumably -- its ectoplasmic squatter. (Repeated attempts to reach Nietzke have been unsuccessful.)Nietzke's alleged experiences, which are also posted on EBay -- included strange odors in his house, a bug infestation, malfunctioning electronic devices and "sort of like large, vertical, dark blurs in my peripheral vision."Haxton, the college museum director who collects religious paraphernalia, says by phone that he first heard about the box last year through a student employee at his museum -- who is also Nietzke's roommate.When Nietzke posted the box for sale, Haxton went for it. The day after it arrived in his office, Haxton says, "I woke up with my right eye looking like it had been poked." Other afflictions arrived, including fatigue, a metallic taste in his mouth and constant nasal congestion and a cough. Around the house, Haxton says he occasionally smells the signature odors of cat urine and flowers.Haxton has been aided by Rebecca Edery, an Orthodox Jewish bookkeeper who lives in Brooklyn and whose father studied cabala. It was Edery who helped uncover the purpose of the box. "The two doors on the outside open up just like the Holy Closet," or Aron HaKodesh, a receptacle for Torah scrolls, Edery says. "And I saw round, metal hoops on the inside of the doors that would hold scrolls. This particular size is used when going to comfort the family of the deceased."Edery says she is convinced the box was sacred and had been intentionally stuffed with some sort of spirit. "This was done deliberately, for a specific purpose." She believes that to put an end to the misfortunes, the box needs a formal Jewish burial involving a 10-man minyan, or prayer group.For his part, Haxton says he wants to follow the box back to its origins. Then, he says, he might create a replica and bury the original. "To me this is a historical puzzle," he says. "It came from somewhere. It was made for a reason. What is it and why is it?"Room for doubt on either sideResearchers and religious scholars say that, sure, the box contains items that could have served as fetishes or tokens to a family, Jewish or otherwise. Pennies and locks of hair fall under the common fetish territory, says Bill Ellis, a fetish researcher and American studies professor at Penn State University."It was not uncommon for people to hunt through their change and, when they found the birth date of a child, to put that aside as a life token of the child," Ellis says. "You also have two locks of hair. That is a very common tradition, especially for preserving a keepsake of a dead family member. These things would incorporate a memory or some part of a life spirit."But the tale also contains a parade of red flags that point to a possible hoax.For one thing, Schochet points out that most dybbuk tales have the ghost coming back to convey some sort of message, but "there is nothing to explain why this particular box is inhabited."Elliott Oring, an anthropology professor and folklore specialist at Cal State L.A., also has his doubts. "Go through [the story and] you will see areas that seem to require suspending critical functions. There is too much piling on of incidents.... Why wasn't it simply disposed of?"So if there's no proof a dybbuk exists, why is the box so fascinating?"We embrace such stories because they tap into our own fears and prejudices," says Allan S. Mott, author of "Urban Legends: Strange Stories Behind Modern Myths.""The dybbuk story taps into our belief that out in the world there is a supernatural evil that will attack anyone regardless of how good they are. They allow people to make some sense of a chaotic world."The story also benefits from the credibility lent to it by a mainstream site such as EBay, says Jan Harold Brunvand, author of the coming "Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid: The Book of Scary Urban Legends."But Brunvand sees a difference in the tale. "The length and detail of the story is unlike most urban legends," he says, "as is the supernatural angle and the first-person narrative. So I would not classify it as a 'normal' urban legend."Perhaps that leaves open a small window of credibility. After all, who doesn't like a good ghost story?"Of course, we realize we could most probably be dealing here with a very elaborate hoax," notes the Rev. Jim Willis, an Arizona minister and author of "The Religion Book: Places, Prophets, Saints and Seers." "I have to say that because I do have my academic reputation to uphold." But, he adds, "if you leave it at that, it takes all the fun away."As his words trail away, a huge picture in his office falls from the wall and crashes to the floor."This is weird," Willis says. "Have I just become a part of an urban legend?"
改编自拍卖网站「飘灵盒」交易的真人真事,加上网上言之凿凿指拥有盒子的人都遇上连篇不幸怪事,甚至招来邪灵附体,这些背景都为故事抹上真实却神秘的色彩。
论惊吓度,本片其实不算太恐怖,却诡异十足。
导演利用了盒子的来源和内藏的不祥物品,引起观众的好奇心,再以吓人伎俩营造出诡秘气氛。
有一两场惊吓场面是予人新鲜感的,好像女儿从镜子探究喉咙附着甚么,以及群蛾乱舞的一幕,都让人毛骨悚然。
当然,小演员有说服力的演技帮助不少。
她从对盒子产生好奇,到被邪灵附体,到内心与之抗行,却最终被邪灵征服的变化,都演得入木三分,也给其他演员比下去。
可能「飘灵盒」的来龙去脉根本未被完全破解,所以导演没有在「飘灵盒」的背景上着墨太多,邪灵的背后故事亦没有提及,主线反而集中在主角的家庭问题上。
区区两三幕好像男主角找来专家查出盒上的经文为叮嘱人们不要打开盒子,以及他拿着盒子向犹太教士求救,便完成了解构盒子的秘密。
如此对「飘灵盒」的留白,无疑令故事落入了亡灵无原无故找宿主而害人的俗套里,令整体有欠圆满,关于盒子的部份亦不够厚实。
离异夫妇各自适应了新生活,大女儿踏入反叛期,只有小女儿依然心存父母复合的希望。
导演挑选这样的家庭故事作主线是正确的,毕竟如此家庭结构不难发现在现代人身上,让有类同经历者容易代入主角一家产生共鸣。
再者,以「家」为本片的中心思想,很能对应邪灵找宿主的动机。
邪灵的「家」不就是人类的身体吗 ? 邪灵的「家」由一个宿主到另一个宿主,飘泊不定,亦孤苦伶仃,对比出很多人有大好家庭,却往往没有加以珍惜。
如此在恐怖中带点伦理课题,让观众在紧张气氛中得到喘息的机会。
不过,不得不说的是,驱魔一幕没经过特别设计,司空见惯,驱魔也显得容易,看来恐怖电影发展至今,已难有太大的突破了。
祁佳仕背景资料 : 出自网上拍卖网 ebay原物主的「飘灵匣」(Dibbuk Box)描述其中一位物主的孙女说,在波兰出生的祖母,二战时被送进集中营,全家都死了只有她幸存,逃难到西班牙时遇到这个小木匣,战后祖母带同木匣移居美国,她从不打开这匣子,而且时常以「邪灵恶魔」来称呼它,并要求家人在她死后把木匣陪葬,但因违反犹太东正教习俗而未能实行。
最后,物主孙女将木匣和家居旧杂物一起出让。
2001年,新主人在波特兰俄勒岗州一平民杂货地摊看中了木匣,于是连同一些针线盒等旧物一起买回家,卖方千叮万嘱,不要打开匣门,要放在平常不会接触的地方。
可是,怪异事件又接踵而来;- 妈妈离奇中风,在医院拼命向家人说她讨厌那木匣- 木匣的门不能紧闭,自动打开- 物主的家人曾代为保管木匣,不约而同曾发同一恶梦- 物主及其朋友皆看见屋内曾有黑影出现- 物主没有养猫,却经常嗅到猫尿味恶臭- 物主带木匣上班,一名同事突然精神失常逃离公司,最后更辞职了2004年的《洛杉矶时报》(Los Angeles Times)记者Leslie Gornstein,揭露拍卖网ebay客户撞邪的事件。
报导指该男子购入「飘灵匣」后,便踫上连串不幸怪事;- 全屋发出奇怪气味- 发生意外一只手指折断- 在汽车引擎内发现多只死老鼠- 家中电子产品每天相继坏掉- 20多岁的物主头发脱落,数天内脱了一半他说每个曾拥有那东西的人都有相同的遭遇!
《洛杉矶时报》的报导吸引了世界各地的超自然/灵体专家的兴趣,那木匣随即被大学博物馆馆长Jason Haxton买入,并且对匣上的古老文字和盒内的对象逐一研究,在犹太宗教文化学者的协助下,一起解开当中秘密如下;产地及生产时期:不详曾被用作储酒匣,内藏以下物品:- 1925及1928美国1分硬币各1个- 用绳绑住的金发及黑发各1小束- 刻有希伯来文的小石碑一块- 干玫瑰花蕾- 金酒杯一个- 蜡烛架一个(仕按 : 电影的结局,会间接道出盒子内放东西的原因。
)
在一个宁静、祥和的市郊社区里,住着布莱尼克一家。
最开始的时候,当克莱德和斯蒂芬妮发现他们最小的女儿艾姆对一个散发着古朴气质的木头盒子产生了难以言喻的迷恋的时候,他们并没有觉得有什么不对劲的地方。
这个盒子是艾姆在旧货市场里淘到的,不知道出于什么样的原因,艾姆第一眼看到它的时候,就生起了想要拥有它的迫切欲望。
然而,随着女儿的行为变得越来越古怪且无法理解,而且走到哪里都紧紧地抱着盒子,这对夫妻终于开始意识到,似乎有一股邪恶的力量进驻到了他们的家中,无比惊恐的他们马上对最大的嫌疑对象古董木头盒子展开了调查,而他们惟一了解到的,就是这个盒子的用途实际上是为了容纳犹太民间传说中的恶灵的。
也就是说,关在里面的是一个燃烧着愤怒的复仇火焰的魔鬼,拥有这个盒子的人不但会被它扰乱心智,最终自己的灵魂也会被彻底地吞噬掉。
老美的片子始终都在讲一个问题——家庭。
无论外面包裹着怎么样的“壳”,内里的“核”都是一样的。
举例来说, “行尸走肉”这样的僵尸片都满是在探讨家庭问题的分支情节。
这一点洒家很佩服,这样的电影才是真正有人性的。
很多影评在吐槽——先是说老套,然后说雷同,说不给力,说驱魔太无新意……从洒家个人浅薄的知识和常识来看,这样的吐槽才是应该被吐槽的。
首先说“驱魔”。
宗教不是玩创意,仪式、流程都是有一些定势的,大部分与宗教有关的恐怖电影里交代得很清楚,无非是圣经、十字架、圣水三大件(偶有部分描写伏都教等教派的片子里稍有不同)。
死魂盒里除了犹太教的经书,能封印恶灵的盒子也是主要道具之一。
既然都是恶灵附体,在相近的宗教背景下,采取近似的手法才是正确的方式。
(难不成学香港武侠片,让犹太教的小伙子坐在姑娘身后,双掌抵住肩胛,姑娘头冒青烟?
)况且,击碎死魂盒镜子,得到死灵的真名,进而用振聋发聩的呼喊将之召回盒中的桥段,也是颇为震撼的,至少沉浸在剧情中的洒家起了一身的鸡皮疙瘩。
其次说“家庭”。
离婚是当今婚姻世界的一大痛楚。
2012年5月的数据显示,美国的离婚率高达50%。
所以,那些说美国影视剧父母总是离婚的人请闭嘴好么?!
也正是离婚的设定,才给了电影更为合理的铺垫:买旧家具、少人居住的社区、父母之间父女之间累积的矛盾,以及后来的“申请保护令”……家庭其实是一个很微妙的“平衡品”,一点看似很小的矛盾和问题,都可能打破那份平衡,夫妻之间的信任、长幼之间的关爱,有时候并没有想象中那么牢固。
何况这样的问题发生在已经因为父母正式离婚而濒临关系崩溃的一个“家庭”身上,几乎就是压塌骆驼的最后一根稻草了。
再说说“作祟”。
有人觉得这个恶灵不给力,既没整死几个人物,在能力上也是弱爆了。
洒家却觉得诸位都是血淋淋的僵尸片看得太多的缘故,并且没有学会在看片时割断横向联系——恶灵“阿比苏”同志的最终目的就是“重生”。
重生时如果不能避人耳目或者于人迹罕至处,只怕有点宗教意识的都会喊来神职人员驱魔,所以在前期,恶灵的一切所作所为都是为了让被附身者众叛亲离。
请仔细回想一下影片中第一个受害者:独居老太的生活状态,是不是形影相吊?
从这个家庭来看,母亲堕入爱河,纵然喜爱孩子都会分心;姐姐年长几岁,正是青春叛逆与家庭渐行渐远的时期;和小女儿关系最近的最亲的,唯有父亲。
因而,这个恶灵的诸多恶行中,绝大部分是冲着父亲去的,并且试图完全割裂父亲对女儿的爱,从而让它的重生过程更安全。
与此同时,恶灵又不可避免地与小女孩的生命和记忆产生着一定的融合,至少在它完全重生之前,还不会真正夺取女孩的心智,对“准继父”的伤害,或者就是源于此。
洒家想,大概是绝大多数评论者还未为人父母吧——我们无需用孩子入魔这样的桥段来代入,只要想一想亲戚朋友的孩子意外受伤的真实事件——洒家的一位朋友的孩子摔跤致胫骨骨裂,一个月之内不能下地,她家人就这样轮流抱了孩子一个月——想象一下那种身体和精神上的双重煎熬吧!
对于一个刚刚学会走路孩子,对于怀胎十月的母亲……最后说“驱魔”。
犹太教小哥最后横死,其实说明的是恶灵只是被封印而非消灭,面对克制其能力的、得知其真名的驱魔者,恶灵选择的是避其锋芒式的迂回,再用利用诅咒取其性命。
下一个寄主可不一定有足够顽强的意志力和认得波兰语的朋友。
剧情非常老套:一对刚离婚夫妇有两个可爱的女儿,女孩们定期跟父亲团聚过周末,偶然中妹妹得到一个古怪的盒子,开始举止异常,原来盒子里封着恶灵,她被附身了;父亲展开调查,发现盒子来源于犹太教的一支,就去请牧师驱魔,费尽一番力气,一家人团聚如初(不过驱魔牧师挂了)。
是不是很老套哇?
各种过时的情节都包括了:感情不合的夫妻、天真萝莉、恶灵附身、解惑的教授,连驱魔都是"呼唤恶魔名字"这种喜闻乐见的形式。
请问,大周末的我花75块钱看这部电影的意义何在?
thats just fxxking boring. (即便如此,我还是决定不回家睡了,囧rz)编剧及导演都十分糊弄事儿,虽然盒子里的恶魔隶属波兰的某支犹太教,可是没看出任何新意。
(以下文字充分显示出撸主对其他民族认知的局限性,请大家当做反面教材 ↓↓↓)【而且非常可笑的是,爸爸按照地址去类似小波兰的地方找牧师时,当地人的造型非常令人无语--男人大衣礼帽,女人头巾包头,恍如二战时期,这里充分显示出老美对其他民族认知的局限性:穿个旗袍就是东方、男人裹个头巾就是穆斯林、女人包住头发就是东欧。
】哦,还有:演妈妈的女人好老,得有50+了吧?
整个一瘪嘴老太太,还特喜欢穿露锁骨的衣服。
长的老不是你的错,出来晃悠吓人就不对了。
姐姐很漂亮!!
仿佛看到了teenage的linsay lohan!!!
有人吐槽“核磁共振竟然照出了鬼脸!
”其实这里的恐怖效果还不错,颇有点富江的意味。
不过,鬼头是挤在胸腔的位置,鬼手又能从妹妹的喉咙里伸出来。。
这。。
科学吗。。
囧rz!
(导演:恐怖片你跟我提科学,诚心踢馆吧?!!
阿西吧——)诶呀算了,撸主实在孤陋寡闻,就不露怯了,光速撸走 如果我是编剧:1、最后驱魔"成功",因为恶魔从妹妹转移到了姐姐身上,没人发现,最后镜头是姐姐诡异的笑容(是的,依旧很老套。。
)2、母亲的男友的真正目标是这姐妹俩(喂。。
这是恐怖片不是伦理片好吗。。
)
如往常一样,又是在网上闲逛时发现了《死魂盒》,当看到电影封面后,便决定去观看这部电影的。
这是什么原因?
因为笔者是一个游戏玩家,《死魂盒》电影封面与NDS上游戏《病房》封面仿佛如出一辙,而官方剧照又和《F.E.A.R》的剧照如此相向。
我想任何一个感兴趣的人都会探寻他们之间是否有联系,哪怕是只言片语。
虽然影评写的不多,但头次遇到这种无从下笔的感觉,感觉这个电影没有给人印象特别深刻的地方,中规中矩的一部恐怖片。
好处就是能让你勉强的看下去,不至于象其他电影一样,看都不想看,电影演了一半就知道结局是怎样的。
故事讲述的是一个装载着恶灵的盒子企图利用各种方式从而寄托到宿主,占领宿主的身体得到重生。
主角小姑娘家是个离异家庭,父亲是一个篮球队的教练,在当地篮球界小有成就,却处理不好与妻子的关系。
母亲是一名服装设计师,与父亲正闹离婚,主角每个周末会与姐姐一起到父亲那里住。
机缘巧合发现了一个盒子,本以为只是一个装饰品,却没想到盒子中寄宿着恶灵,而自己也被恶灵所寄附,父亲发现后找来一名大师来帮助驱魔,最后在父亲的牺牲自我和全家人的共同努力下,小姑娘战胜了恶灵,而恶灵被成功封印回盒子里。
就在大师带领盒子准备安顿好盒子的时候,意外又发生了,大师发生了车祸,盒子再次流落民间。
这部电影整体来说很一般,故事一般,惊吓度一般,一个典型的主角阴差阳错得到某件年老古物,而这件古物上隐藏着害人的恶灵,它渐渐残害宿主和周边的人,主人公们想尽办法与恶灵斗智斗勇的故事。
故事平淡的使人昏昏入睡,直到影片快到最后恶灵即将完全取代宿主和恶灵爬出身体时才有几个还算过的去的镜头。
电影给人的感觉多少有点象几年前的一部老片子《驱魔人》,同样主角是小女孩,同样被恶灵俯身,不同的后者是纯粹的恐怖片,而前者更像是用恐怖诡异的手法来表现亲情的伦理剧。
也就是说主角一家本来分崩离析的状态,因为恶灵,从而又紧密的联系到了一起。
不得不说的就是片中小女主角的艾玛扮演者:娜塔莎·卡利斯演技很不错,本身就是一个小美女,主角那种时而被恶灵控制表现出的诡异与主角本身抗拒恶灵时的纠结和无奈被她演绎的很好。
近几年外国这些小演员的演技都让人惊艳,如《孤儿怨》艾丝特的扮演者伊莎贝尔·福尔曼,《生人勿进》吸血鬼的扮演者科洛·格蕾斯·莫瑞兹,《寂静岭1》中阿蕾莎的扮演者祖蒂·弗兰,这些小美女的容貌与高超的演技都是这些电影的最大亮点,她们的出现让本不太出彩的电影瞬间提升了一个档次,她们出色的表现一点不逊色一些老演员,感叹她们以后必将前途无量。
这部电影中也有诸多不明不白的地方,比如盒子中的玩具没有交代背景,片中的飞蛾的象征,为什么多次提到的牙齿,等等都没有解释。
而小姑娘的后爸完全就是打酱油的,没起什么作用就挂了。
本片一开始就提示是根据真实的故事改变而成的,用来给观众创造恐怖的气氛,而导演在上映之前的采访也把电影形容的光怪陆离,拍摄行进中也发生了种种奇怪事情,更加增添了电影的氛围,不过这些都是恐怖电影导演的惯用手段,只不过为了电影上映前能够引起足够的眼球和关注度而已。
看过的最有质感 最有温情 节奏最合适的恐怖片!
父母对孩子的坚持不移的爱 很伟大就算自己的孩子是恶魔 父母也会不离不弃的影片里的爸爸 真是又帅 又勇敢 又聪明 又有责任心是模范好爸爸!!!
有几个桥段 还挺新颖的 不剧透了 大家自己看哈总之 属于可以打10分的恐怖电影了PS 片子里两个小演员的表演真是不错长得又漂亮 演的又到位 两个小美女 潜力无限啊!
我都不觉得恐怖的恐怖片,真的是很差劲
剧情完整无bug,一般恐怖片也就这样了。Jeff老爹也总是演恐怖片和惊悚片,逃不出spn的魔咒么。。。
Ghost house pictures 的片子都还不错,这部也不例外。美版《咒怨》也是它出的!
没那么难看吧,不过倒是没啥亮点。。。
片子还不错,作为2012年小成本恐怖片来说,再退一步,按近两年来说也算过得去了,虽然剪辑感觉有些凌乱,用大黑屏转场不地道,感觉一场戏还没完就直接下去了,这倒挺紧凑的,小女孩功不可没,表演上有点小过火了,但这种驱魔题材也无妨,总之作为今年挺期待的一部片子,还好没让我失望!
我还给别人介绍,Jeffrey Dean Morgan就是演天幕坠落M的儿子、饭祷爱的男主,老婆是Penelope Cruz,完完全全的把实习医生格蕾里的daniel描述成了Javier Bardem。我果然有脸盲症。
后半部分简直侮辱智商,相对恐怖片来说也解决的太轻松了吧。。。
matisyahu真是帅死了!!!多一星就是给他的,虽然他的戏份不多,但是好帅啊!!!
两个小女孩儿真的很可爱,父亲演的也很棒,感觉出那种亲情的难以割舍,就是收复恶灵的过程太简单了,换着悟空咄一声:收!会更有喜剧效果。不过旧家具,越古老,我觉得确实是越不要买。
根据真实事件改编,你好意思?还在用这招唬人?片子里的女性角色没有一个看了不想一巴掌甩上去的,也真不容易呢~
有点为了制造恐怖而恐怖的感觉 从开始就猜到了结局 而且所谓恶魔 也没有感觉如何厉害恐怖 无外乎就是有点精神力震荡昆虫召唤之类的 看惯龙与地下的会觉得如此恶魔简直是弱爆了 战斗力估计连5都没有就是一小劣魔 最后居然让一普通人给干掉了 简直太对不起恶魔这个称呼了
小萝莉演得不错,至于情节就。。平淡。。而且一点也不恐怖。
SPN前传,温家双煞老爸猎魔的起源记……
好幾年沒看鬼片看到被震懾到.....
“阿——逼——走——!!!”就是全篇最精彩的亮点了。Jeffrey Dean Morgan长的还真像Javier Bardem。
总的来说不是很吓人,但是小女孩真心演技派,还有那谁谁说男主长的像黄秋生,瞬间喜感了好么,这合适么。。。=-=还是觉得期待下十月的那部。
恶灵驱魔神马的已经很out了你还不加点儿新料。
外国人还真是喜欢蛾子呢。。整部片子抓眼球的亮点少,看着看着我就走神了,还有最后那个除魔的给我一种深深的神棍的感觉,跟喊劳动号子似的。。。
预告片比正片好看太多
hiphop牧师一边扭一边跳的时候我绝望了 预告片很精彩 正片全是其他驱魔片用剩下的
