In 2020, the global film industry is desolate,
In 2020, there are even fewer high-quality horror films
After all, a horror movie doesn't need much logic, as long as it's thrilling enough and scary enough is really unique
Fortunately, the film and television industry in 2021 began to recover,
From Mandarin to Hollywood, from concept films to the original rough cult films of the 80s, it's all back!
Red Face Hideyoshi roughly lists several horror movies that are quite expected
Dangerous dense forests, chasing, primitive and cruel cannibals,
The reboot of "Fatal Bend" dreams back to the 80s, falling into the hands of primitive jungle cannibals, the kind of primitive intuitive fear that has nowhere to escape.
When a couple was traveling in the snowy mountains, they were suddenly targeted by a red dot and followed where they went;
"Red Dot Killing Machine" is a very interesting concept film, being monitored, the enemy is in the dark, I can't escape, no one to tell, like a nightmare scary,
What's even more frightening is that after waking up in a nightmare, I found that this is actually reality!
Wen Ziren's "Conjuring Universe" series has finally returned, and "Conjuring 3" 2021 is scheduled on the schedule,
Facing Wen Ziren's producers and screenwriters, the horror films of 2021 will not lose their color.
As the appetizer of the horror film in 2021, Red Face Xiuying wants to introduce a thriller to everyone:
"Fear of Rain" ~
The story tells a high school girl diagnosed with mental illness, multiple personality, imagination, and auditory hallucinations.
She suspects that her neighbor and teacher are kidnappers, but the people around her do not believe her and only want to try to get her to regain her sanity and live a normal life.
And the only boy she could trust didn't seem to exist.
"Fear of rain" does not indicate that this girl has an inexplicable fear of rainy nights and rain sounds?
And in fact, this story revolves around the rich and twisted spiritual world of this mentally ill girl.
True or false, the audience can not open the perspective of God to make a rational judgment.
Schizophrenia, hypothety, and dual personality are classic topics in the horror genre.
At the beginning, the identity of the protagonist is not clear, so that the protagonist encounters a series of strange things that cannot be justified by ordinary people's logic.
In the end, the audience was surprised, it turned out that everything that was called this was the imagination of the psychotic protagonist; such as "Deadly ID", "Female Pupae"...
Or at the beginning, pick out the multiple personalities of the protagonists, and let the multiple personalities fight each other,
Look at good and evil, the light and dark of human nature, who can stay until the end, such as "Mr. Glass" and "Split".....
In schizophrenic horror films,
"Fear of Rain" does not have the depth of "Fight Club", and the second is not as terrifying as "The Shining";
But as a youthful schizophrenic theme, it wins the fresh and confused feeling of adolescence,
And does not open the audience's perspective of God, at the beginning it shows the exquisite identity of the young girl Rain, and the imagination and truth, illusion and attachment exist at the same time;
True and false, illusory, we, like Rain, can't figure out which is true, or even who to believe.
Rain, a high school girl with multiple psychological problems and mental illness, was finally picked up by her parents and brought home.
In the way of drug control, she gradually adapted to social school life, but various hallucinations and auditory hallucinations were still like shadows, and she was regarded as a freak by her school classmates.
For the sake of his daughter, the father only took some odd jobs, and the mother gave up socializing and stayed at home all day to accompany herself.
Everything seems to be getting better gradually, in fact, all kinds of hidden dangers and strange phenomena are still like shadows,
For example, late at night, through the window of her room, she always saw a little girl in captivity in the attic of the neighbor's house on the opposite side calling for help;
For example, sitting in a car, it starts to rain outside, and the closed space and the sound of raindrops beating rapidly make her panic;
For example, when entering a social situation where people gather in large groups, various auditory hallucinations begin to occur, as if everyone is whispering.....
What's more interesting is that Rain is not like the other protagonists of the film, insisting on their own hallucinations.
She knows deeply that she cannot believe in herself, she believes in her "fantasies" and suspects that the outside world controls her thoughts too much.
"True and false, false and true, nothing is everywhere and there is nothing!"
Throughout the film, Rain is quite desperate, sometimes believing in the outside world and sometimes doubting the outside world,
She both knows that she is hallucinating, and sometimes as a human being, she trusts her intuition unconditionally.
Sometimes alert, sometimes lost,
One moment firmly believing that he has discovered the truth, and the next moment being confirmed by the most personal witness that he is lost in the illusion,
The boy in the same class who transferred from the school not only healed her, but also made her wonder if the boy was his own illusion.
This transfer student is a bit incredibly beautiful, believing in himself unconditionally, but this boy is very eccentric, does not socialize with other people, only talks to himself...
Is this his fantasy boyfriend, or a real teammate...
It wasn't until her mother saw herself with him on the stairs that she began to be convinced that this healed boy existed.
However, at this time, the boy's face changed and he quietly left...
Thinking about it, could it be that this boy in the fantasy found that the mother in the real world could see himself, and the illusion disappeared with it?
Which is true and which is false? Who should I trust?
Unexpectedly, after Dad's monologue, we were as shocked as Rain.
Mom died three years ago.
In order to make Rain less painful, he has been pretending that his mother is still alive in this family, and those warm motherly love that accompanies him is his fantasy.
Rain's doubts and the guidance of the film have always made us think that the lonely and perfect little boyfriend is his fantasy.
I didn't expect that the mother who accompanied me as soon as she appeared on the scene was an illusion!
Good big foreshadowing, good wonderful one reversal.
And the last scene of the neighbor's attic is even more terrifying, true and false, virtual and real,
Rain finally finds the imprisoned little girl in the attic and picks up a knife to defend herself and the little girl;
But the neighbor's female teacher has always said affirmatively:
"There are no little girls here at all, everything is your fantasy, put down the knife, I am willing to keep the secret of your epilepsy..."
The eerie, dark and closed attic, the gentle neighbors, the little girl who only saw herself without saying a word, and the fantasy-like boyfriend who had a coincidence at a critical moment...
"She's real", "She's not real", "Believe her words", "Don't believe her words"...
The instantaneous analysis of various choices, the elusiveness of fantasy and reality,
I don't know who to believe, I don't even know whether to believe in the sense of disorientation, and the auditory hallucinations are magnified in the mind,
Let the audience begin to wonder, who should we believe? Which is fantasy and which is true!?
Knowing that at the end of the police, the panic and illusion brought by the whole movie has not subsided, after all, even the police are wondering "Is she real?" (Is she real?) ）
False and false, true and true, false and true when true and false, nothing is everywhere and there is nothing,
The whole world is lying to you that you are not terrible, what is terrible is to deceive yourself.
This fine shard, staying power!
