"Mountain Village Old Corpse" and "Double Pupil" are put together, and the gap between Chu Renmei and Xie Yali comes out of the square point of view: "Mountain Village Old Corpse" is more famous and more frightening, and "Double Pupil" is not even a ghost film is not a negative point of view: "Double Pupil" Religious thriller elements are unique in Chinese horror films, and "Mountain Village Old Corpse" is only the end of the cottage's "Midnight Bell"

Ghost movies have abused me thousands of times, and I treat ghost movies like my first love. Hello everyone, I am a fork that only dares to watch horror movies during the day.

Which horror film do you think is the best Chinese horror film?

Is it Chu Renmei singing cantonese opera "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" that slowly rises from the bottom of the pond?

Is it the female student who cut her wrists to stain the entire pool with blood, and spread the "Alien Space" that Zhang Guorong went crazy because of the drama?

Or is it the use of guilty people to cross the Robbery ascension immortals, and the tall buildings to surprise the Dojo's "Double Pupil"?

Chinese horror films can be traced back to 1913's "Zhuangzi's Trial wife" and "Impermanent Ghosts", both of which are based on folk tales.

In the 1930s and 1950s, the film industry was hit hard by the war. But it also gave birth to horror classics with the characteristics of Chinese and Western characteristics such as "Midnight Song", and the shadow of the Western musical "Phantom of the Opera" can be clearly felt from the film.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Chinese horror films led by Hong Kong and Taiwan entered a period of prosperity, and ghosts and zombies became the main elements of the film.

Li Hanxiang's "Ghost of a Lady" carried forward the ghost story in "Liaozhai Zhiyi", which was remade several times because it was too classic.

In 1966, Bao Fang's "Painted Skin" was once rumored to be scared to death, and was once named "the most frightening movie".

Most of the Chinese films of this period are based on "Liaozhai" and folk tales, mainly describing the ancient background stories of fox fairies and demons that harm people. However, the horror films of this period mostly contain wind and moon elements, and there are a few more erotic colors in addition to horror.

In the 1980s, Hong Jinbao filmed "Ghost Fighting Ghosts", which once brought the spirit action film to the peak, and Lin Zhengyi's zombie film came into being, becoming an important symbol of Hong Kong films.

In the 90s, zombie films gradually declined, modern theme horror films gradually emerged, in addition to the usual ghost themes, the film creators have integrated real cases to increase the sense of film substitution, especially "Eight Immortals Hotel" and "Doctor Lamb" are the most famous.

At this time, the supernatural horror film also changed the main battlefield from an ancient box room to a modern office to increase the audience's sense of presence.

The development of more than 100 years has made Chinese horror films more and more mature in terms of storyline and creativity, and the "Yin and Yang Road" series, "Strange Silk", "Murder List", "Strange Talk Association", "Office Has Ghosts" are numerous.

So in the multitude of horror films, who is the ceiling of Chinese horror films?

In 1999, Wu Zhenyu and Li Zi starred in "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village", the story began with the protagonist and his friends playing psychic games and encountering ghosts, and the film began with a thrilling scene of ghosts in the secret room, through an hour of plot advancement, presenting a lamenting story of an ancient woman Chu Renmei who was framed by her husband and died tragically in front of the audience.

Influenced by the Japanese horror film "Midnight Murder Bell" at that time, it is not difficult for us to see the plot design of "Trailer Killing", and the setting of drinking water to see ghosts is still fashionable, and this movie has become the most famous Hong Kong ghost film.

Three years later, Chen Guofu sacrificed Wang Bang, a horror film that claims to be the most able to show the essence of Chinese culture, "Double Pupil", which is different from other plots with ghosts and monsters, the film consists of a strange criminal case, and the protagonist learns after the investigation that the real culprit behind the scenes is nothing more than taking the guilty person to cross the robbery and ascend the immortal.

The film uses the murder case to involve the plot of the girl Xie Yali to ascend to the immortals, and has to admire the strong cultural reserves of the choreographers, and also makes the audience realize that not only ghosts can scare people, but also gods can also bring people a sense of horror.

So as the two most representative films, which is more classic, "Mountain Village Old Corpse" and "Double Pupil"? Let's set up a ring for two movies and discuss who is the ceiling of Chinese horror films:

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > square view: "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" is more famous and scarier, and "Double Pupil" is not even a ghost film</h1>

In the Chinese horror film industry, "Mountain Village Old Corpse" has a high reputation, and the reason is precisely because the film just caught up with the VCD DVD player to enter thousands of households.

How famous is "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village"? At the beginning of the 21st century, many children have seen this movie as proud, and even claim that this film is scary to death.

Whether it is from the beginning of the film to play the game of summoning spirits can be high-energy continuously, Chu Renmei's stunning appearance, one of the strange phenomena of a young man who has long been dead, people dare not look at it directly.

After that, whether it is Chu Renmei following others in the bar, the long-dead driver downstairs is like an invisible knife that plunges into the audience's fragile nerves little by little.

When Chu Renmei slowly rises in the waterhole and sings the eerie Cantonese opera, the horror atmosphere of the film also reaches its climax, and the "clicking" movement of Chu Renmei's skeleton at the end of the film makes many viewers almost suffocate.

It can be said that "Mountain Village Old Corpse" has set a benchmark for subsequent Hong Kong horror films, and few can surpass it, whether it is the atmosphere or the scary image of ghosts, it cannot reach the height of "Mountain Village Old Corpse".

Because her husband was sentenced, Chu Renmei, who was killed in Huangquan, slaughtered the whole village with a huge grudge, and her blue robe and long hair shawl style also became a classic image of Chinese horror films.

In contrast, "Double Pupil", there is not a single ghost in the movie, it is difficult to call it a qualified horror film, but it is rather a suspense movie of police detective.

The film is neither bloody nor scary, and the whole film is watched in the clouds and fog, the pace is not fast at all, and it is too stuffy to do it. It is not enough to give "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" shoes.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > the opposing view: the religious thriller element of "Double Pupil" is unique in Chinese horror films, and "Old Corpse in mountain village" is just the cottage's "Midnight Bell"</h1>

People are afraid of horror movies precisely because the subconscious thinks ghosts are dangerous. "Double Pupil" does not take the usual path, but goes the opposite way, using the gods to create the same sense of horror.

The girl, Sheyari, wants to ascend to immortality like her twin sister, but because she is not practicing enough, she can only sacrifice the guilty, and several victims are flooded, burned, and tongue-pulled under the control of Xie Yali's followers.

Through the hands of the protagonist, the ending of Xie Yali's successful ascension of physical death has been interpreted by countless fans. People's fear that science can't explain things is the high level of the horror atmosphere created by "Double Pupil".

Even "Detective Chinatown 2" also has a plot that borrows from the high-rise Taoist temple of "Double Pupil", which shows how classic the film is. "Double Pupil" has a lot of details, which are not enough for a fast-paced movie like "Old Corpse in a Mountain Village" to satisfy the audience.

On the other hand, "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" is much lower-level, and the director has the self-knowledge to tell the audience in the film that he is copying "Midnight Murder Bell" and is full of suspicion of cutting corners.

At the end of "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village", Wu Zhenyu defeated Chu Renmei with love, and it was even more inappropriate to directly pull across.

If Chu Renmei is put in front of Xie Yali, the mouse licks the cat's nose - looking for death. What about the female ghost's opponent of the immortals?

In fact, whether it is "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" or "Double Pupil", in the bones or in the bones, it is still Chinese the "great love without boundaries" in the general perception of faith, and the values of good and evil have retribution.

Today, horror movies are no longer as popular as they were, and the collective decline of Chinese horror movies also symbolizes the end of an era, and we may not see decent horror movies for a long time.

So the question is, which horror film do you think best represents China and becomes the same type of ceiling in Chinese, let's discuss it in the comment area.

I am a fork fork, if you feel that the article is good, trouble you like the comment, your support is my biggest motivation for updating. We'll see you next Monday on "Ghost Movies!!!
