The battle with demons begins: can faith and strength save an innocent soul? Father Park, a priest excommunicated from his parish for practicing exorcism, is contacted by an old friend who asks for his help in protecting a child with special powers. Together they assemble a team of individuals with supernatural abilities to confront potent demonic forces. “Exorcism Chronicles” is among this year’s most eagerly awaited Korean films. Adapted from one of the country’s best-selling series of novels, its appeal lies not only in its suspense, but also in its fight sequences, as spectacular as those in the iconic Japanese “Dragon Ball” franchise.
情节老套是这部影片硬伤,观影不久便能猜中后续走向,如同嚼蜡般缺乏惊喜,难以勾起深入探究欲望。
可惜角色塑造流于表面,过于脸谱化,好人一味善良、坏人纯然邪恶,缺失深度挖掘,难以给人留下深刻印象。
观影全程如坐针毡,冗长拖沓、乏味剧情,加上糟糕视觉听觉呈现,既无娱乐价值,更谈不上艺术熏陶。
部分情节的发展较为平淡无奇,但整体上并不影响观影感受。
导演的叙事手法独特而巧妙,成功地将观众带入了一个全新的世界。
