As we all know, everyone in Taiwan seems to be very "superstitious", the place is not big, and there are many kinds of anecdotes.
And the first of these anecdotes is the Liu Family Ancient House, also known as the "Minxiong Haunted House" located in Minxiong Township, Chiayi, southwest of Taiwan Province.
Minxiong Haunted House is known as the first of the four major haunted houses in Taiwan (the other three are: Tainan Xinglin Hospital, Keelung Haunted House, and Taichung Wuri Haunted House).
I haven't watched a horror movie for a long time, and this film based on a real location in Taiwan intrigued me - "Minxiong Haunted House"
On Qingming Day, single mother He Shengxin (played by Yang Jinhua) and her daughter Xiaoqi and grandmother returned to their hometown to visit the grave.
The mother originally wanted to let her daughter Xiaoqi go together, but Xiaoqi was quite reluctant, and her mother could only go to the grave by herself.
Xiaoqi was bored when she waited, so she walked around at will, but she was possessed by "dirty things" and went down the mountain to her home, which is also Minxiong's haunted house.
When she returned home, Xiaoqi sent her to the third floor, which her grandmother had forbidden to go up and sealed, and found a room that had been dusty for a long time and was full of charms.
The jar with the seal under the bed was broken, and the grievance spirit sealed in it was released.
On the other side, He Shengxin swept the tomb and went down the mountain to find that Xiaoqi was missing, and he couldn't find it in a hurry, so he could only call the police and go home to wait for news.
After returning home, my grandmother found that the magic array arranged on the third floor had been destroyed, as if something big would happen, and hurriedly braved the rain to go out to find Mage A Cai.
He Shengxin was also full of curiosity about the mysterious third floor, so he went upstairs to check on his own, and Senior Ah Zhi, who came to play with Xiao Qi's innate yin and yang eyes, also found here, and met He Shengxin on the third floor. The two encounter some horror and are sucked into the weird mirror world.
He Shengxin and Ah Zhi in the mirror see a lot of strange mirror images, revealing the unknown secrets in the ancient house.
It turned out that the resentful spirit who began to be broken by Xiaoqi in the altar was He Dexin, He Shengxin's sister, and the two were twin sisters, but their personalities were very different. The older sister Sacred Heart is dull and jealous, and the younger sister is lively and cheerful.
One day, the eldest brother He Yiming accidentally drowned in order to retrieve the shoes that Sacred Heart fell into the river, and Sacred Heart was afraid of being blamed and said that it was to pick up Dexin's shoes, which made Dexin hated and targeted by his grandmother, and Dexin's personality became introverted and autistic.
When Dexin grew up, he seemed to be possessed by a demon and became insane, so his grandmother found the mage Ah Cai to perform exorcism.
At this time, in reality, my grandmother found A Cai's practice, and Xiaoqi, who was possessed by virtue, was expelled from her body under the practice.
And the world in the mirror also collapsed because of the departure of Dexin, and Ah Zhi, who was trapped in the mirror, broke through the mirror and returned to reality, while He Shengxin was trapped in it.
However, the resentful spirits of Dexin would not let them go so easily, possessing their grandmother and slashing the mage to death.
Possessed by Takshin, her grandmother threatens Ash to find his head in the well in the yard, and finally reveals the terrifying secret that has been buried for many years...
There are many horror stories about Minxiong's haunted house, and legend has it that there was once a maid here who fornicated with the eldest young master, and the hostess bullied and abused the maid after discovering it, and finally the unbearable maid committed suicide by throwing herself into the well, so she was finally killed by the resentful spirit. The family almost died and could only move out of here, which became a haunted house, and the movie also borrowed this story as a background.
It was also the maid who fornicated with her grandfather, and later the grandmother abused the maid, and then the maid complained and demanded her life. First, his grandfather shot himself after being possessed by a maid, and black ecchymoses grew on the side of his head; He Yiming also had ecchymoses after drowning He Shengxin after picking up shoes;
Younger sister He Dexin also had bruises on her face in the mirror before committing suicide; Sister He Shengxin fell into the well because she stepped on black silt, maybe this is a curse.
The real Minxiong Haunted House was built in 1929 by Liu Rongru, a local official at the time, and was a very popular Baroque three-story Western-style building at that time, and there was a plaque on the front that read "Brothers and Music". (Is there this scene in the horror game Ghost Hunting?) ）
Originally, the original intention of this building was to hope that the family could gather together, but after Liu Rongru's death, the children left one after another and moved to the city. This original mansion has gradually become dilapidated due to its disrepair, and the walls are covered with plants inside and outside, so it looks quite eerie, and over time there are some haunted legends here.
In fact, this movie tells a very tacky story, upside down through horror films to tell a family ethics story, in fact, even if you leave the Minxiong haunted house and change the scene casually, you can only say that the movie is forcibly rubbing the gimmick of the haunted house.
Of course, there are also highlights of the movie. For example, the heroine Yang Jinhua plays two roles by one person, and her acting skills are okay.
There is also a perfect picture of the details of the movie, such as the cruel killing of the mage on the body of Dexin's possessed grandmother, because the mage used the reason of exorcism that the master and apprentice raped Dexin, which caused Dexin to have so much hatred for Ah Cai.
For example, the Sacred Heart can't go out of the mirror world because the Sacred Heart has already died, and the three people at the beginning of the movie go to the tomb, and some pictures can't see the Sacred Heart has actually made it clear, but it's really difficult to find it without looking closely.
The overall details of the film are still good, and the horror atmosphere is also in place.
As for the biggest highlight, it really has ghosts, haha.
