Domestic horror films have always danced in shackles
To put it bluntly, even if the previous shooting is excellent, the end of the film always has to give an explanation, so many domestic bad films in order to save trouble, simply and rudely sublimate the theme in the form of subtitles at the end of the film, or the preface does not match the afterword, completely ignoring the previous story, to the end of the film to force positive energy
So when "Into the Coffin" premiered on February 9, I thought it was a bad movie
I didn't expect that after watching "Into the Coffin", I was so fragrant, and even dared to assert: this film will soon be popular all over the country
The popularity of the box office performance after the film's release also proves this
The cost is only 6 million, and it rushed to the first place in 2 hours of release, and Liu Zhiyang caught the horror movie King Fried?
As of February 9, "Into the Coffin" was released on the video platform for 2 hours, and it has rushed to the first place in the movie hot search list, and even left blockbusters such as "Bear Haunted" and "Man Jiang Hong" in the Spring Festival file
It is reported that the production cost of the film is only 6 million, and such a heat table is actually violent
Why is "Into the Coffin" so fierce?
The movie starred in all powerful people, and there was no traffic star
At the beginning, it is a high-energy exorcism, Liu Tianzuo, who has starred in "My Regiment Commander My Regiment" and "Soldier Assault", made a cameo appearance as an unlucky egg, this plot is a play within a play, and Liu Tianzuo performed quite brilliantly
Playing his younger brother is Tong Lei, known as Xiaofeng Xiaogang, who is one of the most eye-catching actors in "Kunlun Divine Palace"
And the male protagonist Liu Zhiyang is not to mention
If you write history for domestic online film and television dramas, then "Soul Ferry" must be loaded, a series of three online dramas, two big movies are excellent works, of which 2018's "Soul Ferry Yellow Spring" broke 45 million at the box office, which can be called one of the ceilings of the online box office
Liu Zhiyang is the male protagonist of the "Soul Ferry" series
"Soul Ferry" is a Chinese-style horror story, using ghosts to allude to people's hearts, and even in the end, the audience does not feel the horror, and there are some reflections and warmth
And the release of "Into the Coffin" proves that Liu Zhiyang caught the horror film King Fried again? Still have the ability to make this genre film a hit
Don't fool the audience, the most terrifying thing in "Into the Coffin" is the human heart
The story of the movie is actually very uncomplicated, but it is very grounded, which resonates with many middle-aged men
Ma Yuanhao, played by Liu Zhiyang, is in a crisis, the newborn child always can't sleep, he has just contracted a courier station, busy and anxious, but at this time the mother is not conscious
The old mother has always believed in Daxian, thinking that something dirty is pestering the Ma family to cause all this
Ma Yuanhao naturally wouldn't believe it, but things did come one after another
First of all, the express station accidentally caught fire, the employees were burned, the goods were all gone, but the responsibility was still Ma Yuanhao's, he faced hundreds of thousands of losses, he could only think of selling his hometown house, but the mother had a condition: he must enter the coffin to fake his death, and cheat dirty things to keep safe
The mother gave Ma Yuanhao a bad reason to refuse: Try it, what if it works? Even for the sake of children
You look at this trick, it is estimated that many viewers have faced it, what is wrong with trying it for children?
Ma Yuanhao could only give in, under the practice of the two great immortals, entered the coffin, and woke up the next day, as if everything was indeed getting better, the child could fall asleep, the creditors were willing to give him time, and the good brother also helped Ma Yuanhao find investors
But it didn't take long for the good thing to break the calm again
The first half of the movie takes the path of traditional folk horror, various supernatural events revolve around the Ma family, dead animals in the old house are everywhere, and the pictures of Wong Tai Sin appearing at night and the two Daxian practices are all well shot
Especially Ma Yuanhao's wife is at home with her children, the storm outside, the window slaps this fish tank, the fish in the fish tank are dead, and under the fish tank is the cradle of the child, Ma Yuanhao's wife has just taken a bath, wrapped in a bath towel, and her figure is beautiful
At this time, there was a sudden sound of a rapid knock on the door outside, and Ma Yuanhao's wife turned her head to see that the fish tank was about to smash into the child...
When Ma Yuanhao rushed home, he was surprised to find that the door of the house was nailed with a coffin nail
All this will indeed make a middle-aged man unbearable, and finally believe that it is reasonable to change his life in a coffin
However, domestic horror films have restrictions after all, and many domestic horror films give forced positive energy in the last few minutes, but "Into the Coffin" does not fool the audience like this, and the film's upcoming one-third of the length is to explain all this
It turns out that the most terrifying thing is the human heart
All this is the ghost of Ma Yuanhao's good brother Hailin
Hailin is a rural person, he was bullied when he was a child studying in the city, it was Ma Yuanhao who stood up to protect Hailin, and the two have always been good brothers, and then Hailin left his hometown, became rich and returned to his hometown, and helped Ma Yuanhao several times
But in fact, Hailin has always hated Ma Yuanhao
The classmates all called Hailin Ma Yuanhao's dog, and Ma Yuanhao helped Hailin because he helped Hailin, but Hailin himself thought that he had no self-respect, especially Ma Yuanhao's wife has always been Hailin's goddess, but she never looked at herself
This all made Helin hold a grudge, so he teamed up with two scammers to plan everything
Because they grew up together since childhood, they knew the Ma family well, and naturally they could easily deceive Ma Yuanhao
He just wanted Ma Yuanhao's family to be destroyed, deceive Ma Yuanhao's house, and let Ma Yuanhao divorce his wife
But good must triumph over evil
If "Into the Coffin" is a formal horror in front, it is about human nature in the back
Hailin is a victim of school bullying, but he aimed all his hatred at the people who saved him, bullying good and fear of evil may be human nature, Hailin should be extremely inferior behind becoming an evil person, and even dare not talk to Ma Yuanhao's wife, and following Ma Yuanhao is just to see the goddess
Such people are pathetic and hateful
