Sentence/Microcosm
I haven't watched a horror thriller for a long time, I have pushed the movie "The Legend of the Hunter of Xing'anling" before, I feel that the movie as a whole is still good, the legend of Northeast China, Chinese folklore, and some strange ramblings that I heard when I was a child have been interpreted.
"2021 First Domestic Thriller, The Childhood Shadow of Northeast People, Xing'anling Hunter Horror Legend"
However, the horror suspense film of this genre is actually a vacancy in the current domestic horror films, so if you can learn from some folk backgrounds and make some horror thriller movies, the effect should be very good.
Although the final outcome will be drug hallucinations, mental illness, pretending to be ghosts, and living revenge, as long as the horror process is good, the reputation will still be good.
No, I recently saw a movie clip that seems to be about this kind of folklore theme.
An old bachelor, who could not marry a daughter-in-law for many years, found a coffin to tie a paper man as a daughter-in-law, and originally rejoiced and got along with the paper man's daughter-in-law every day, but he did not expect that something would eventually happen.
It turned out that one day when the bachelor was eating, he said to the paper man's daughter-in-law how the daughter-in-law did not look at herself, it turned out that the paper man's daughter-in-law had no eyes, so she drew the eyes of the paper man, but it was also because of this pair of eyes, but it was because of this pair of eyes, but unexpectedly this paper man actually lived, and the bachelor also died.
Because this clip went to see the whole movie, but I didn't expect to play folklore thriller, folklore didn't see it, horror didn't see it, only saw the horror, scared me to find out that the thriller can be made so bad.
There really isn't the worst, only worse.
This movie is "Yin Yang Town Strange Talk"
The film tells that there is a small town called Yinyang Town during the Republic of China, saying that this Yinyang Town is not an ordinary town, the town seems to have suffered a terrible curse, here can only go in and out, those who leave without authorization, will die mysteriously, followed by the unexpected intrusion of the male protagonist Yan Yangyi and his friend Bao Hulu, the mystery of the deep buried town is gradually revealed.
Originally there was not much hope for domestic thrillers, after all, after liberation, it is not allowed to become a spirit, so the ending of such ghost films can be imagined, all are man-made, but sometimes it is known that it is man-made, but as long as the movie renders the horror atmosphere well, the process will also be full of tension and excitement, although the plot sometimes has some bugs.
But this movie made me a little disappointed, obviously the theme is very good, especially the beginning of the movie about the three handstand ghosts in the coffin shop in Yinyang Town is still quite OK, it is really frightened, the picture is very impactful, so I am quite looking forward to the plot later.
However, with the official start of the film, the plot is more and more stretched, the horror bridge feels that it is a patchwork of various horror paragraphs, and the plot also begins to be incomprehensible, as if it is to scare people and scary, a horror paragraph after a horror paragraph, do not care about the connection and logic of the plot.
The plot behind seems to be more to illustrate that this is the strange place of Yinyang Town, there is Yin and Yang to have five elements, so some people in the town's death method corresponds to the five elements, such as beating more to die of iron, bachelors looking for paper brides finally died of wooden sticks, escaped daughters-in-law died in the water, etc., but the sudden death or sudden appearance of these people, it seems that the plot is very abrupt.
Then instead of chanting some five-element gossip lines in the mouth, it seems to be really mysterious, but it makes people feel very contrived, and the lines make people feel stiff.
There is also the protagonist group on the way to escape into the labyrinth, hallucinations to see the horror of the picture, if you want to render horror, then the hallucinogens in the woods are too obvious, purple fog is afraid that the audience can not see the problem?
And then some of the characters in the film, I really don't know what it has to do with the plot, is the mayor's daughter here to be funny? And the mayor's daughter's licking dog, who is responsible for telling ghost stories to the protagonist? He Sangu of the coffin shop also felt inexplicable, and the front and the mayor of the town were in cahoots, saying that they had been caught, but saying that they would correct it, and suddenly confessed the murderer behind the town mayor.
The whole film feels that the best acting is the mayor played by Li Liqun, who looks like an old and good man in the early stage, and is exposed later, which immediately shows the madness of the bandits.
In fact, I feel quite able to understand that in order to prevent the people in the town from going out, after all, at that time, the warlords outside were fighting, the people were not happy, and he also made up a lie that the town could only enter and not go out in order to keep the peace of the town, but the cost of this lie was too great, and the practice of killing people for peace was too arbitrary.
Overall, this film is really awkward from the beginning to the end, to suspense without suspense, to thriller without thriller, and the ending also creates a sequel series feeling, if the quality of the sequel is also this, it feels really unnecessary.
