I don't know if you noticed --
In recent years, foreign film and television circles have particularly popular a type of "marriage horror" theme.
The 2014 suspenseful god work "Disappearing Lover" gave the word marriage a layer of horror movie flavor.
In 2016, there was a high-scoring Japanese drama "My Terrible Wife", which portrayed the wife of the highest IQ in the history of tv dramas, Shinya.
She is not only rich and beautiful, but also has an explosive IQ and is decisive in killing.
When the average wife encounters such a thing as her husband's cheating, she often cries, makes trouble, hangs herself three times, or turns a blind eye;
And Zhenya has created an extreme practice of revenge on scumbags-
What's going to kill you, my mentally handicapped husband!
Last year's American drama "Deadly Woman" is even more called the "American Husband Killing Guide", the biggest feature of the drama is to accurately grasp the dark psychology that every woman has hidden in marriage:
Even in the best marriage, there will be 200 thoughts of divorce and 50 urges to strangle each other in a lifetime!
There is also this year's phenomenon-level Korean drama "The World of Couples", which also nakedly tears apart the ugly side of the marriage relationship.
So-called:
The most romantic thing I can think of is to love and kill you until you are old.
This kind of "marriage horror" theme often makes people feel that the plot is toxic and destroys the three views, but it often makes people want to watch it.
Recently, South Korea has released another "husband-killing drama" that combines science fiction, comedy, thriller and suspense.
Not only is the story brainy, but the plot is very nonsensical!
Night of the Living Dead
Night of the Undead
The film was recently released in South Korea, and the box office has overwhelmed other films in the same period.
On the South Korean portal NAVER, the film has a rating of 8.83 out of 10, and its reputation is far ahead.
Lead actor Lee Jung-hyun must be familiar to everyone. As a former originator of the K-pop, Singer Li Zhenxian has also been active in the show business circle in recent years, having previously won the Green Dragon Award for "Alice in the Honest Country", but it is estimated that many people have more impressions of her as the iconic fan dance and unique finger wheat shape.
This year she just fought the zombie army in Busan 2: The Peninsula,
In this "Night of the Living Dead", she has to deal with an alien husband with an immortal body.
The actor who plays the husband in the film is the Korean power actor Kim Sung-moo.
Known for being good at playing villain roles, he looks a bit like a combined version of Xiao Jingteng and Xiang Zuo.
In addition, actress Xu Yingji, who became famous for "The Murder of Kim Funan", also played the heroine's high school classmate in the film.
Although the English title of the film is literally translated as "Night of the Living Dead", it should actually be called -
"My Husband Is Not a Man"!
The story begins with the married life of the heroine Joo Hee (Lee Jung-hyun).
After marrying her husband, the relationship has been very stable, and the sweet life of the two has made the friends around them envious.
In the eyes of outsiders, her husband's husband Cui Wanji (Jin Shengwu) is handsome and golden, gentle and careful, and is simply an outstanding representative of a perfect husband.
Joo-hee has always been very trusting of her husband, but she doesn't know that her husband still has an unknown side.
One day, Zhaoxi attended a class reunion late, and when she returned home drunk, she accidentally saw the text message received on her husband's mobile phone.
The content of the text message is very ambiguous, and Zhaoxi can't believe that her husband is actually a cheating scumbag!
The next morning, Zhao Xi was full of thoughts and wanted to test her husband's tone, but she didn't know how to open her mouth.
And the husband often used to stay in the company to work overtime as an excuse, saying that he might come home late tonight.
Cho-hee's suspicions grow worse, so he finds a private investigator to investigate whether her husband is really cheating.
The result is not checked and do not know -
Joo-hee's husband is a master of time management, and he actually has a strong energy that is different from ordinary people.
How exuberant?
You can have fun for 21 hours without rest, cheat on dates, and exercise continuously and intensely.
After a day of tracking Joo-hee's husband, private investigators recorded his whereabouts:
Get up at five in the morning, play a morning at the golf course, and then drink like crazy, drinking 41 bottles of liquor alone
Then go to the bar to bounce off the girl, and then take a girl who is only 20 years old to the hotel to open a room.
In the afternoon, I was still not idle, first I went to the gym to do high-intensity exercise, and by the way, I frowned with the young girls in the gym;
Then go to the park together for a car exercise, just by looking at the shock of the car at that time, you can feel the intensity!
It was not until midnight that the husband hooked up with Joo-hee's high school classmate at the bar and took them to the hotel with them.
Not only that, but at the same time, the bartender quietly left a message to the bartender and booked the next sport in advance.
Just rush this physical strength and energy, ordinary people do not obey, superheroes have to bow to the wind when they see it.
But that's not all, it's not just the husband's unusually exuberant energy, but also his even more bizarre behavior.
Private investigators discover that Joo-hee's husband once drank more than a dozen liters of gasoline at a gas station late at night!
Others are shouting and cheering, but he is really cheering for his body, as if injecting new power energy.
All kinds of strange signs, so that the private investigator finally came to a conclusion:
Joo-hee's husband is not human, it is likely that he is a living dead person with an immortal body from an alien planet!
This somewhat neurotic private investigator is also a paranormal enthusiast who specializes in mysterious events.
According to his inference:
Joo-hee's husband is supposed to be an alien lurking on Earth.
They came to Earth from aliens and lived in anonymity on Earth to escape the pursuit of government scientists.
In order to lurk, they are likely to marry and have children with earthlings like ordinary people to disguise their identity.
The purpose is to collect human genetic information, and then analyze and study it to make a virus that can destroy human society.
As for the ghostly pull after the private detective, Joo-hee did not listen to it at all, and all he thought about was her husband's cheating.
Overwhelmed by anger, she returned home at night and stood in front of her husband's window with a sharp blade in her hand, but she couldn't do anything with her heart.
After all, such a thing as killing a husband is a matter of being born once and being familiar twice, and it is not okay to have no experience.
So, Joo-hee thinks of his high school classmate Sarah (Seo Young-hee).
According to rumors heard at the class meeting, Sarah discovered that her husband was cheating after marriage.
Enraged, she killed and dismembered her husband, so she spent more than a decade in prison, running a barbecue restaurant after his release.
In order to learn some successful experience from the elders of the Killing Husband Class, ZhaoXi found an old classmate who had not been seen for many years.
Both are victims of their husband's cheating, so they are like-minded, so they form a -
"Alliance of Women and Enemies".
Unexpectedly, Zhaoxi's husband actually wanted to be strong first, and he put an alien drug on the water his wife drank in advance.
As long as you take it, you will suffocate and die, and the doctors of the earth will not be able to detect it at all.
The plan was successful, and After Joo-hee finished drinking, he passed out instantly and was taken to the hospital for rescue, and the doctor said that he lacked surgery.
Just when her husband was pretending to be sad in front of everyone, he did not expect that Zhaoxi actually woke up unexpectedly and spit out the alien poison stuck in his throat.
This shocked Joo-hee's husband, who did not expect that his wife actually had the luck of not being able to kill, so he could only continue to pretend to be a gentle husband and act in front of his wife.
However, through this fake death storm, Zhaoxi also saw through her husband's evil intentions, so she decided to ask for help from a private detective to help kill her husband.
The private investigator then devised a plan to kill the husband:
Install an electric shock device in the bathtub and use her husband to launch it while he is in the shower, disguised as if he had died of an electric shock.
The plan was perfect, but I didn't expect it to be implemented that night.
Joo Hee's family breaks into an uninvited guest, Joo Hee's high school classmate Yang Shan (Lee Mi-to).
Yang Shan is the girlfriend of a private detective, and recently he also happened to learn that his boyfriend was a cheating scumbag, so he went around chasing and killing his boyfriend.
To this end, she followed her to Joo Hee's house, thinking that she would break the adulterous affair, but unexpectedly caught up with The scene of Cho Hee and Sarah's husband killing.
In order to avoid the fierce girlfriend, the private detective was forced to hide in the bathroom bathtub, only to expect that Yang Shan accidentally activated the switch, and the private detective who hid in the private detective passed out on the spot.
The three of them thought they had killed someone, and they were a little flustered, but at this moment, her husband Cui Wanji returned home.
The wife had to hide the private investigator in the closet and pushed that she invited her classmates to come with her husband's birthday.
In the atmosphere of laughter and giggles on the surface and mmp on the inside, the four of them held an awkward and eerie party!
Seeing that the party was about to end, the cell phone of the private investigator hidden in the closet actually rang.
Cui Wanji heard the movement and thought that there was a thief in the house.
Open the cabinet door and smash it directly with the club, which directly makes the corona private detective completely pass out.
His wife Zhaoxi and husband Choi Wanji both wanted to kill each other, but they hadn't done anything yet, and now they actually killed someone else.
At this time the wife proposed:
As long as the gods unknowingly buried the body in the suburbs, no one would find the body of a thief at all.
The original husband and wife who loved and killed each other became murderous and buried corpses, and things were getting out of control!
Therefore, the crowd planned to take the body of the private investigator to the suburbs to bury the body, and planned to bury him alive when Cui Wanji was digging a pit.
But what Zhaoxi did not expect was that her husband Cui Wanji had an unimaginable immortal body.
Whether he was buried alive, poisoned, or hit by a car or slashed by a knife, he could not be killed.
What's more troubling is that at the same time as the couple are dueling.
The addition of the government officials in charge of capturing the aliens and Choi Wanji's alien counterparts has also made the situation even more chaotic...
This "Night of the Living Dead" is written and directed by South Korean director Shin Jung-won.
Although he has not directed many works, he is a well-known ghost talent in the Korean film industry, and his style has always been known in the film industry for his hunting, horror, comedy, absurd, and even bad taste style, and is widely loved by genre fans.
Shin Jung-won's most famous work is the 2004 horror comedy "Time Lost 2 Kilometers", which is regarded as a model of Korean black comedy, mixing gangster movies with supernatural themes, opening a gangster action film, turning into a haunted thriller in the middle, and ending with a nonsense comedy, the story is absurd and funny, but also criticizes human greed that is more terrible than the wraith.
After these two works, Shin Jung-won directed the monster-themed "Man-Eating Pig" and the exorcism-themed "Diviners", both of which subverted traditional genre films, although not successful, but established Shin Jung-won's position as the most maverick genre comedy director in the Korean film industry.
This "Night of the Living Dead" continues the consistent style of Shin Jung-won's works, and it is also a new work that he has released after eight years.
Although the cost is only more than 30 million, but in the story of the brain hole, the whole film integrates science fiction, suspense, hilarity, thriller, action and many other elements, the plot at first thought it would be the Direction of the Korean drama "The World of Husband and Wife", but did not expect that the middle god unfolded, evolved into an alien invasion conspiracy, one side is to conspire to destroy mankind, the other side is to form a "Savior Alliance" to protect the earth.
As a result, the director's painting style has once again changed into a survival comedy of "love and killing" between masquerade couples, and all the actors will play a humorous and funny skill, and the process will also be full of urgent suspense. In the second half of the plot, a decisive battle between government officials will be added, which is full of hilarity and is in line with the consistent style of Korean nonsense comedy.
Overall, however, the film's storyline is sloppy, and the character's motivations don't stand up to scrutiny.
Although the director has some creativity in the script setting, the overall degree of completion is not high, after departing from the science fiction setting, the film is just a farce caused by a derailment to catch a traitor and kill a husband.
