Chapter 255: The hanging heart can't be let go at all
The night was dark, and the atmosphere in the TPT screening room of the landmark cinema was depressing, and everyone in the small audience was nervous about Maggie, except for people like Gersta who didn't see much because of off-site factors, and the cold sweat that was pouring out from the exorcism just now was still chilling.
The first turning point keeps the three critics interested in the next six minutes, and when and how will the devil actually appear?
On the screen, Cotton and the others drove Maggie to the hospital, and the night in a series of driving shots was glowing with a faint blue light, as if the whole world had been corrupted by demons.
"Day and night are actually here to use day and night ......" Gia clenched her fists in grief, that kid is too good at playing, this kind of distortion, weirdness and reality are mixed together
It's a hell of a thriller
There is no audience who doesn't feel weird, it's rare to see this kind of night scene, some young audiences have never even seen it, and now it has nothing to do with falsehood, the slightly shaky camera, the horror color, and the tense atmosphere are equal to a great horror movie viewing experience.
Custer really applauds these technical details, and there is more than one such surprising detail in TPT, which can turn decay into magic in day and night.
Perhaps the biggest surprise is the editing technique, which is no longer limited to the main perspective of the character camera, there are surveillance cameras, and there are many shots with just the right conventional film angles, and none of them compromises the realism of the pseudo-documentary, but it sets off the atmosphere more realistically and tells the story more exquisitely.
If we continue to do this until the end, it can be said that TPT is taking pseudo-documentaries to a new level.
"Andrew, you guys really did a nice job this time. Orr couldn't help but praise the two Grande sitting next to him, rarely doing this during the movie, because there are few such surprises. Who would have thought that the 3 minutes that were expected to be wasted would be full of surprises from the first minute.
Grande smiled wryly, and Potko touched his hair, both a little embarrassed, "We're really not Yunik Kuller. "It's his film. β
"I know, I know. Orr didn't say much, and continued to watch the movie intently, apparently not listening. Neither Custer nor Sherk, who else could Cooler be?
Arriving at the hospital quickly, the next morning, Sweetzer arrived, and told SΓΉ Cotton that after they were gone, Maggie soon became insane and disappeared, and that the demon had not been driven away, and he begged Cotton to cure Maggie once and for all.
"Maggie needs to see a psychiatrist. In the corridor of the hospital, in the double medium shot, Cotton on the left earnestly persuades: "The demon has been exorcized, but it has caused some psychological trauma to Maggie, which requires psychiatric treatment......"
"Psychiatrist?" Switzer glared at Cotton angrily, "Eight doctors can't save my wife, and none of eight doctors can let her live even one more day.
Cotton patiently explained: "There are many ways that God saves people, not necessarily what we can understand, but psychotherapy......"
Switzer turned and walked away. In the parking lot outside the hospital, Swaitzer roughly pulled Maggie into the car and left, Cotton and the female recording engineer Mara were still persuading her, and Maggie was a little struggling, and before getting into the car, she looked at Cotton helplessly, as if she was begging for help.
The pickup truck drove away, and Cotton and the two reluctantly discussed what to do, and the photographer's voice: "Let's leave it alone, right?"
"How can you not see Maggie's mental state, she will be crazy if she continues like this. The female recording engineer was a little angry.
"Let's go to the farm again and sit down and persuade him. Cotton decided, "That girl must see a doctor." β
In the first scene, the driving camera, Cotton and his party drove into the farm land again, and when the dilapidated old house standing in the ice and snow appeared in the far shot again, and jumped into the audience's eyeballs, the heartstrings were suddenly tensed, and they could foresee that something terrible would happen.
Sure enough, the atmosphere on the screen immediately became tense
"Oh no, look over there," the female recorder exclaimed.
The camera panned from facing the old house to the woods on the left, only to see Swaitzer and Maggie arguing in the distance, Maggie crying "I'm going to see my mother, I don't want to let go of me here" Switzer looked angry and rudely pulled his daughter back to the house.
Cotton and a few people rushed up, "Hey, hey", "What's wrong?", "Don't hurt her"
"What are you doing here, get out of my farm," Switzer glared at them as he walked and looked at the camera again, "Turn the damn camera off and get out of here" He didn't stop, pulling the crying Maggie back into the house, and Cotton and the others followed.
What happened? The hearts of the audience were hanging in the air, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.
"It's so much worse than 'Blair the Witch', even the camera is so steady when running......" Gesta muttered dissatisfied, "I'm so disappointed, I don't want to continue watching."
Because of the good viewing effect of this seat, there were several audience members sitting in front and back, and they had endured him for a long time, and they all scolded one after another: "Please, brother, don't quarrel, okay", "Then why don't you hurry up?", "I want to watch "Blair the Witch" and go home to watch it, this is the screening hall of "Exorcism Video"
At the same time, there is blood on the screen again, it turns out that Ramon was cut in the face by Maggie with a knife, and the strange location of the wound is the same as the wound on the right side of Cotton's face.
"Get out of my house" Switzer is going to take his son to the hospital and viciously evict Cotton from them.
Cutting the scene neatly, Cotton and the others had to pretend to leave first, and after Switzer drove away, they returned to the old house and slipped into the house through the open window. The room was dimly lit, and from time to time there was a hoarse cat meow, and the feeling of desolation and danger filled the hearts of the audience.
The camera slowly follows Cotton up the stairs to the second floor, the upward perspective is so oppressive at this time, and the suspense of the demon appearing at any time is like a boulder pressing down. When they arrived at Maggie's room, the female recording engineer exclaimed in surprise, only to see Maggie chained to the bed with her hands and feet, crying silently.
In a panic, the camera switches, and Cotton and his party find a hacksaw to cut off the locked chain.
"Don't, don't, Daddy will be angry when he comes back and sees that I'm not locked. Maggie cried, on the verge of collapse, "I scratched Ramon, I'm a bad girl, I can't go to heaven, I'm going to hell......"
"Maggie, it's okay, it's okay, God sent me to help you, it's okay, it's going to be okay......"
After being comforted by Cotton and Mara, Maggie gradually calmed down, and in the midst of the oozing squeaky saws, she answered their questions, Switzer didn't hurt her, but she really couldn't remember how she hurt Ramon. Cotton breathed a sigh of relief as the chain snapped open, but the audience off the screen took a deep breath, the demon's shackles were gone......
As soon as the camera is shot, Maggie is resting in the room, Cotton and they go back to the living room on the first floor to talk about countermeasures, and then a phone message comes, and the doctor says that Maggie is pregnant? The audience can guess why, but this situation shocked Cotton them, Mara affirmed that it was an incest tragedy, and Cotton said not to make up his mind lightly, and wait for Switzer to come back and ask clearly.
Maggie's pregnancy really chilled the hearts of Christian audiences, this is a huge blasphemy, the scene is gentler than the Exorcist in "The Exorcist", where Regen pierced the lower body with a cross, but in the same sense as hateful, who is the virgin pregnant? The Virgin Mary, who is pregnant with Jesus. But now Maggie is pregnant with a demon, and it makes people tremble to think about it
The story has no intention of continuing in this direction, and after a brief argument between several people, tension arises again
"Maggie......" The female recording engineer looked at the camera in surprise.
Cotton looked back with his back, and the camera also made a big spin to shoot at the entrance of the corridor behind him, which was very shaky and blurry, and when the picture stabilized:
I saw Maggie standing there, in the middle of the shot, she was barefoot, still wearing the gray-white dress, her long hair was scattered and hanging down, holding the gray cat Katie in her left hand, and a sharp fruit knife in her right hand. Her face was drowned in darkness and could not be seen clearly, as if it were the face of a demon.
Looking at her posture, the hearts of the audience couldn't help but raise their throats, what does she want to do, no, what does the demon want to do......
For a moment, there was only a faint ticking of pendulum clocks in the two screening halls, which was the sound of the ancient mansion on the screen.
"Maggie, calm down, put the knife down......" Cotton stepped forward with both hands to persuade him, and the back of his head and shoulder appeared on the bottom edge of the screen, and the camera zoomed in.
Although the image is blurry, you can see Maggie's big brown eyes glowing with cold light, and suddenly, her right hand is raised, and suddenly she stabs Katie in her left hand, and the miserable cat meow makes Cotton's back appear to block Maggie's neck and below, but it can't stop her expressionless face, and her raised right hand is stabbed violently, and it can't stop the bloody knife and blood splashing, and it can't stop Katie's screams-
"No" Cotton exclaimed, and several members of the film crew exclaimed, "Oh my", "No"
"No, no" many viewers in the screening hall were also exclaiming, not seeing the bloody scene, but it was even more terrifying and indescribably uncomfortable than seeing
Emma covered her mouth with both hands and almost spit it out, as a cat lover, how could she stand it, when her heart flashed her own "Strangie", she trembled all over, tears welled up in her eyes, "It's too cruel...... Although this is just a movie, however, how did this cat meow be recorded, what happened, it was too miserable, oh my God
"Oh. Gia frowned as if she was in pain, do you need to use a pseudonym, saying that this is a shot of Anna and Bella dancing, no one believes it, this shot is really like whiskey, it is strong enough
Just like ten seconds of video, the screening room is filled with a group of emotions that are about to collapse, so loyal to the Lord Katie, Maggie and it have such a deep friendship, but it was so brutally killed by "her"......
Emma's tears couldn't stop falling, and there were more than one or two viewers like her, and the three film critics enjoyed and felt uncomfortable at the same time, and the complex emotions could only be savored after watching the movie.
"If in 'Blair the Witch,' ......" Gesta was about to say.
"you horse's "Blair the Witch"" in front of a male audience member finally couldn't bear it anymore, no longer just scolded, he was about to beat the idiot with his fists, and he was angry at the demon.
Gesta hurriedly got up and fled, shouting "Debbie, let's go, it's boring." Debbie ignored him, and the audience around him seemed to be beating him, and the male audience came up again, so he had to walk outside the screening hall by himself, and scolded in a low voice: "Disappointment, what did you shoot, is this called a pseudo-documentary, it's really bad......"
Everyone is going to applaud and say goodbye, get out, go home and watch your "Blair the Witch" VH video, don't bother others to watch the wonderful "Exorcism Video".
The image on the screen continued, and the eerie laughter resounded through the two theaters, Maggie's laughter
"Is that fun?" said Maggie, walking towards Cotton and them, throwing the cat corpse in her hand towards the camera. The camera only caught a bright red and gray thing flying by, and then a few more drops of blood, which were huge blood spots on the screen, which made people creepy.
Cotton and the others were backing away, shouting "Maggie, put the knife down", "We're here to help you, no one wants to hurt you." β
"Who wants your help?" Maggie rolled her brown eyes, suddenly glared, and rushed towards her brandishing blood-colored knife, "I want you dead"
The audience's nerves were about to break, they didn't dare to blink or look more, and on the screen, Cotton dodged one after another, still shouting "Maggie, we're here to help you", "Be careful" Cotton suddenly shouted "Believe in God, it'll be fine, read it to me, I love Jesus, I love Jesus......"
"Uh-huh......" Maggie's face showed pain, her movements slowed down, and as Cotton read the scriptures, she began to tremble, and the bloody knife in her hand fell to the floor, just as Cotton and Mara were about to arrest her, she turned and ran back, "You are going to die a terrible death"
"Maggie" Cotton hurriedly chased after them.
Even the voice performance Emma suffered from double injury, very congested, and had been faintly hoping that when the demon dominated Maggie, Nina's voice performance would not be able to play the feeling of a demon, or ask someone else to help her voice over...... Now that hope has been shattered......
She reads the confession herself, and it is very different from Maggie's normal cheerfulness and gentleness, with a cold ruthlessness, how did she do it in the first movie
For Maggie's demonized voice, the three film critics are quite satisfied, voice performance is a key to playing the devil well, it seems to be different from the strange voice of "The Exorcist", Maggie still uses the previous voice after the demonization, and only performs in tone and tone.
A good performance is one of the reasons why the audience can watch the play, and the hanging heart can't be let go at all
In the scene, Cotton and the others look for Maggie in the house, but they don't find it, but there are some plausible horror shadows. Suddenly, in a gloomy utility room, Maggie was found crouching on top of a wooden cabinet like a cat, her neck twisted abnormally, her eyes shining with fierce light, and her hands covered with blood.
She jumps down so much that they startle Cotton, and even more so the audience, as she slams the camera and knocks Cotton to the ground with a massive punch.
But Cotton's timely reading of the scriptures allowed Maggie to run away, and they tracked them down again, this time out of the mansion and into a snowy landscape.
Seeing this, all the members of the TPT crew are looking forward to it, this scene is really hard to shoot
"Where did she go?" In front of the camera, the female recording engineer looked around, and the camera was also sweeping, and there was no sign of Maggie, "I saw her run out." β
"Look around. Cotton said. The camera followed the two of them jolting, and after walking for a while, they saw a figure flash on the other side of the grove, and Cotton and the two immediately ran up, "There, there"
The audience was very nervous, there was no chance to catch their breath for a while, and their palms were sweating again. Suddenly, the camera shook violently, and it obviously fell forward, and the photographer screamed "Ahh
Only the crew members who had been on the set at that time knew what was going on, and the person who was called now was Grady, but the person who carried the camera at the time was not.
