Domestic horror films are dead.
This is a consensus reached by many fans.
Compared with today's domestic horror films, the increasing depression.
Chinese horror films from around 2000 can be described as a hundred flowers.
Works such as "Old Corpse in a Mountain Village", "See the Ghost", "Different Degree Space", "Three Changes" and other works use a series of daily objects such as elevators, waterholes, and mirrors to make the audience suspicious and suspicious, and they have not come out of the film for a long time.
Looking back at the final peak of domestic horror films, many people will think of "Zombies" directed by Mai Junlong and starring Qian Xiaohao in 2013.
Twin ghosts, yin zombies, wooden swords and copper coins, can be regarded as the magic and horror of Hong Kong films for decades to the extreme.
But the subsequent horror films have reached a dead end in terms of both creativity and scariness.
The adaptations of various folk spiritual games such as "Pen Immortal" and "Disc Immortal" have become synonymous with bad films, and the female ghost shapes in them are nothing more than "net red shapes" that are distributed in shawls and white robes.
The so-called "Beijing 81", "Closed Door Village", and "Cat-Faced Old Lady" based on real events are full of gimmicks, and the results are either artificially caused or various protagonists commit hysteria, which makes countless viewers complain.
For reasons that are well known, all the scary plots of domestic horror films are nothing more than the protagonist's insanity and the murderer pretending to be a ghost to forcibly explain.
How to make the plot of the film convincing and smooth under limited conditions seems to be more important to the creative ability of the director and screenwriter.
The Republic of China has obviously become the background of many domestic horror films that are most likely to dabble in, because it is closest to modern times, the soldiers are in chaos, and all kinds of strange forces are chaotic, so that the Republic of China is full of magic.
At the beginning of 2021, an online movie called "The Legend of the Hunters of Xing'anling" made people shine, and the film side even played a slogan to restore the folklore of Northeast China.
Under the premise of knowing that there is no "ghost", the audience is still shocked by the plots of the film such as the paper man carrying a palanquin, the big horse monkey killing, and the python eating people.
In the environment of low scores of online movies and horror films, it still scored 7.2 points, more than 44 million box office, and the first place in the hot list, which can not be said to be a blockbuster online movie in 2021.
Audiences who did not have much hope before also said that the film was unexpected, and was praised by many netizens as "the spring of domestic horror films has come"
If "The Legend of the Hunter of Xing'anling" is the beginning, then at the beginning of 2022, there will be another online movie "Yin yang town strange talk"
In line with the "6-minute golden rule for the net to see the big test", the film taught a lesson to the bold audience at the beginning:
On a rainy night, the coffin shop owner was inexplicably woken up. Outside the door three mysterious men stood in front of him.
The boss didn't know that the three mysterious people's feet had not landed at all, and what was even more terrifying was that none of them had a shadow.
At the point of a kind Mr. Yin and Yang, the boss learned that the coffin money ordered by the three people was the boss's life money.
According to Mr. Yin Yang's instructions, the boss hid under the coffin, but did not want the three dead people to smile at him head down.
Except for the thrilling opening sequence, the film is full of high energy.
Whether it's the statues that suddenly move in a dilapidated temple,
Or the rope noose that hangs the ghost to tempt people to hang,
The film frightens the audience with a series of horror elements such as paper men, coffins, and dilapidated temples.
No wonder some viewers will say that this film is the first good domestic horror film in 2022.
So how scary is this horror film, and how does he deal with the common problems of domestic horror films?
Nonsense less, let the fork for everyone to pan the road this "Yin and Yang Town Strange Talk":
The opening is high energy, the coffin is laid with money from the dead, and the cursed town is only allowed to enter and not to leave?
Yan Yangyi and Bao Hulu, who were holding treasures, accidentally hit and bumped into the mysterious Yin-Yang Town.
This yin and yang town is also strange to say, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on the other. The town has always adhered to the tradition of only entering and not leaving.
But anyone who tried to get out of town died.
In fact, Yan Yang and the others came to Yinyang Town to find treasures, and the butcher's case board was seen by Yan Yangyi.
Just when the treasure of the case board was about to arrive, the town's prestigious disciple Lotus took away the jewel in the case board, and Yan Yangyi and Lotus became happy enemies. But he didn't know that the daughter of the mayor of the town also liked Yan Yangyi.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Yan Yangyi and Bao Hulu prepared to escape from Yinyang Town.
But the miasma in the forest made the two hallucinate, the ghost hit the wall, and the rope that tempted people to hang almost killed the two.
The two even saw the temple of the grandmother in the town.
Fortunately, Lotus, Sangu and others rescued the two in time to avoid a bloody disaster.
The matter between Yan Yangyi and Bao Hulu had not yet been resolved, and the second cripple in the town was crazy again.
Through hypnosis, Sangu learned the real reason why the second cripple was crazy.
It turned out that these two cripples had beaten a single stick all their lives, and he took it upon himself to paste a paper man as a daughter-in-law, and used his own blood to open the eyes of the paper man, and at night the two cripples heard the voice of the paper man's daughter-in-law and went crazy on the spot.
Just after sending the second cripple away, the old teacher who did not believe in ghosts and gods spontaneously combusted in front of everyone's eyes.
The second cripple is killed by the paper man. Two people died in one day, and Sangu and the mayor of the town blamed Yan Yangyi and Bao Hulu, who walked the temple at night.
According to the order of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the body of the town's body sewer Yu Wangcai and the second sister-in-law of the Li family was successively discovered. Anyone who had contact with Yan Yangyi died.
The people in the town regarded Yan Yang and the two of them as mourning stars.
The mayor of the town took refuge in a stone temple in the mountains, but did not want the treasure gourd to be affected by the miasma again and hallucinate.
Fortunately, there are jewels given by lotus flowers to make the two of them fierce. It also let Yan Yangyi know the ins and outs of everything.
At the town's festival, Yan Yangyi revealed the true identity of the mayor of the town, who had killed the former mayor and replaced him.
After that, he spread rumors to the people about the death of the townspeople.
Sangu is also an accomplice of the mayor of the town, and all the dead are seduced by hallucinations, all thanks to a poisonous mushroom that is growing under Sangu's coffin.
Under the trend of conscience, Sangu admitted that all this was done by the mayor who threatened her.
The fierce and vicious mayor of the town began to kill the ring, and at a critical moment, Yan Yangyi used mushroom powder to make the mayor hallucinate, and the mayor beat his daughter to death in hysteria.
The strange talk of Yin yang town has finally come to an end.
The first half of the thriller, the second half of the puzzle, "Yin Yang Town Strange Talk" suspense treatment for the domestic horror film to point out the way
Why "Yin Yang Town Strange Talk" is scarier than other similar films is that it does not blindly pile up the old setting of the white-clad female ghost.
The strange way of dying in the film is eye-opening.
The body line was hung in the doorway, stabbed to death by the paper man with a wooden stick, stood in the river and drowned, and suddenly spontaneously combusted in broad daylight, just in response to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth,
It is similar to the famous "Double Pupil".
In addition to the rendering of the eerie atmosphere of Yinyang Town, the mother-daughter identity of the coffin shop sangu and apprentice Lotus flower has become the dark line of the film.
The owner of the coffin shop in the opening of the film has long sexually assaulted Sangu, causing Sangu to give birth to lotus flowers, and the so-called three dead people killing the boss is just a story made up by Sangu.
The guilt of her daughter Lotus and the act of helping the mayor of the town to play for the tiger made Sangu deeply condemned by her conscience, and also paved the way for her to finally wash white.
It is worth mentioning that the last few minutes of the monologue of the bad town mayor played by Li Liqun are amazing, and they are still endlessly reminiscent.
I want to become a Buddha, but no one worships me; if I want to become a demon, then there will be a river of blood.
He wanted to dress up Yin Yang Town as a paradise, far away from the war in the outside world.
There's some truth to how you listen.
In a limited creative environment, "Yin Yang Town Strange Talk" still has a complete story line, echoing back and forth, which can also be regarded as the completion of the obligation of a thriller movie.
And the end of the film also tells the audience that the adventure of Yan Yangyi and Bao Hulu is not over, they come to a new strange village, it seems to create a new network BIG IP.
Let's wait and see.
After Zan finished speaking, it was time to talk about the groove of the movie
As the existence of the bottom of the domestic film contempt chain, many readers will definitely say that the editor has collected the benefit fee of the film party.
In order to clear up the suspicion, the fork below to make a few complaints about the movie:
1. Yinyang Village can only enter and cannot go out, but many objects in the town are foreign things, so how did these things come to the town, this logic is somewhat unreasonable.
2. Although the truth of all the deceased is revealed through the mouth of the male protagonist Yan Yangyi, the director does not seem to have given enough on the camera, and the details in the first half are missing, so that the final reveal link is not convincing.
3. The daughter of the mayor of the town, Bao Hulu is not pleasing in appearance or acting, which makes the audience disgusted.
It is worth mentioning that the actor of the mayor's daughter is also Li Liqun's daughter in real life.
This article is the original of the fork to see the film, without my permission may not be reproduced plagiarism, violators will be investigated.
