In 2011, Yang Mi starred in "Far Cry" was released
This movie can leave a mark in film history, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as opening the wave of domestic horror films and traffic stars later, a bad movie that can no longer be bad, even the starring Yang Mi is unwilling to mention more
At that time, because of Yang Mi's super popularity, he was touted by fans as the best domestic horror film in 12 years
This bad film was actually shot before Yang Mi's really popular work "Palace", so the cost was about 5 million, and under the support of fans and the blind obedience of the audience, the box office of the movie broke through 88.91 million, which can be called the biggest box office dark horse of the year
After that, we all know that domestic horror films once ran rampant in mainland theaters
Even Shen Teng has made a horror comedy "Demon Bell", which won 363 million at the box office, and the box office of "Beijing No. 81" in 2014 broke 412 million, but these so-called horror film explosions are bad movies, and the audience's hearts have long been wounded
For this kind of domestic horror film that hangs a sheep's head and sells dog meat, I am really fed up
In recent years, domestic horror films have basically disappeared from theaters, and in 2022, there will be only 10 domestic horror films released in theaters, and the box office of the champion "Alien Beast" is only 5.74 million, and domestic horror films have also looked for a way out, and the Internet has become the first choice
What "The Legend of the Hunter of Xing'anling", "Coffin Mountain Ancient Tomb" and so on, the box office is not bad
Compared with the theater line, the scale of the Internet University has also been relaxed, and it is indeed the first choice for the release of domestic horror films, but there are still people who do not believe in evil, and on February 17, 2023, "The Village of the Underworld" will be released in theaters, and the box office will hit the street
The box office champion of horror films in 2023, the single-day box office of "The Village of the Underworld" is only 120,000, and the cost exceeds 30 million
"The Village" is released in theaters, which may be a cost consideration
The film claims to have a production cost of more than 30 million, and if the probability of returning the cost is not large if it is online on the Internet, this kind of medium-sized film is indeed better to recover the cost in theaters, but the producer did not expect that the audience is now so resistant to domestic horror films
As of 20 o'clock on February 19, on the third day of the release of "The Village of the Underworld", the single-day box office was only 230,000, and the cumulative box office was only 2.39 million
According to the current trend, whether the final box office of the movie can break 5 million is a big question
But interesting things happened, as we said above, now domestic horror films have basically abandoned theatrical release, so "The Village" that performed so well is still the box office champion of domestic horror films in 2023
It's really funny
Horror movies should also be made as the main theme! If domestic horror films were so nonsense, it would be over
In fact, compared to the box office, I was more shocked by the plot of "The Village of the Underworld"
This domestic horror film really appeared "ghost", but this "ghost" is a Japanese devil!
That's right, our creative domestic horror film directors have found a new way, and horror films can also be made into anti-Japanese theme movies, and pretending to be a ghost has become a positive word in the film
Legend has it that the villagers of the village were born to suppress unjust souls and protect the village, and they have not left the village for generations
And there is also a legend outside, outsiders entering the Village will definitely not live tomorrow!
In fact, the villagers guard a yellow-eyed jasper stele, ancient books record: those who get the stele win the world, in the Republic of China era the world was chaotic, this kind of treasure naturally attracted countless people coveted, among which the Japanese devils wanted to get the stele to easily rule China
The Japanese samurai and their lackeys local warlord forces entered the village of Hades, only to encounter supernatural events such as the Paper Man Killing Formation
In the end, the Japanese samurai and the villagers perished, but the monument survived
In fact, the audience should be able to guess that these ghosts are all pretended by the villagers, just to scare the villain, and the whole story is actually a horror film version of the ghost entering the village, and even the second half of the movie is basically slow motion and explosion scenes
I also know why a horror film costs 30 million, and people have made half of the war movie
It is true that the box office of blockbusters with the theme of the main theme in recent years is very high, but it does not mean that all genre films can be made into the main theme, domestic horror films have basically been Hu Lai in recent years, and before relying on beautiful actresses to attract the audience, now relying on the main theme?
How can the audience be so deceptive!
