FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE

FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE is a reimagining of Asian horror where survival depends on the art of photography. The heroines' only weapon is an antique camera obscura. The sisters are connected to each other, and their relationship is conveyed through conversations and actions. The sisters stick together, and this influences the decisions and the ending. The mystical device captures the otherworldly and inflicts damage on the creatures with the image: the more accurate the frame and the closer the target, the stronger the effect. Film is limited, so you have to shoot carefully. The village looks abandoned, but in the houses there are traces of the previous inhabitants. The camera is improving, and new films give more options in battles. The camera allows you to look outside the rooms, which is more frightening than direct scenes. The story centers on two sisters who get lost in the forest and find themselves in a village where an ancient ritual is being prepared. Local customs and records gradually explain what happened here. Records and photographs help to understand the ritual and find the road to resolution. Enemies react to light and sound, so it’s better not to run straight ahead. Photographs also have power in the literal sense: a photograph can drive away a creature. Exploring the village leads to records and objects of previous inhabitants.

Some scenes are built on silence, which increases the tension. Some scenes are accompanied by silence, and this works better than any music. For those who like slow horror, this village is perfect.
