folklore,
Drowned people will turn into water monkeys
Hide in the water
Wait for the opportunity to entrust people to the water
It is an evil [water ghost]
But in Sheung Shui Town
It is worshipped as a god.
----- "Water Monster 2 Black Wood Forest"
This movie is directed by Xiang Qiuliang and Xiang Hesheng, to be honest, the reputation of the film they directed is really average, not more than 6 points, but because it is shown that Han Dong starred, so the editor opened it to see, opened a look to find that Han Dong's lens is really less, there is a feeling of being deceived.
But the movie is still better than expected.
Qingling lost his memory when he was 6 years old, was rescued from the coffin by his adoptive father, changed his name to Du Jiajia and grew up with his younger brother Du Jiahao, and later practiced medicine in the patrol room, personally dissecting his adoptive father's body to solve the murder case.
Just two months ago received two blank letters, after investigation found that it was sent by Shangshui Town, the younger brother Du Jiahao did not trust his sister to go alone, so he helped his sister Du Jiajia to investigate in advance, and Du Jiahao never returned as soon as he left, and Du Jia's family went alone to Shangshui Town to find his brother and the truth.
The remote and backward area of Sheung Shui Town is full of strangeness, and the water monkey is worshipped as a god, not because it can bring happiness to people, but because it is afraid of bad luck. Du Jiajia came to Shangshui Town just happened to meet the sacrifice, and found the reporter's seal of his brother Du Jiahao on the deceased, so he began to ask the villagers about his brother's traces, but there was no result, as if someone was manipulating the overall situation behind his back, and all the people who talked to him were strangely killed.
But he still found his brother, but it was only a corpse. She meets a water monkey in the dark woods where she is looking for her brother, and when she fights, she hits her head and her lost memories rush up.
It turned out that her name was Qingling, a native of Shangshui Town, and his younger brother Qinghe was born with a strange disease, lost his mind, and could only be controlled by a flute, and his body and face were deformed like a monster, and his unusual strength was therefore used by the rapist.
When Qingling wakes up thinking it is too late, his brother has been wrongfully arrested, and his sister, as a water monkey, will be executed together. The people behind the scenes are the village chief and the village's respected elders, in order to hide their base for opium production in the caves of the Black Wood Forest.
In the end, Qingling used scientific civilization to bulldoze the feudal superstition of water monkeys, and used the truth to awaken the villagers to work together to repel the evil forces. She awakened the mind of her younger brother Qinghe with her true feelings, and her younger brother Qinghe also used his life to push up the stone gate and rescue the villagers who were about to drown in the tunnel.
This movie is one of the few horror and suspense movies I have seen but so touching, especially the scene where Qingling and Qinghe recognize each other, which is full of tears and pokes people's hearts, while the person who plays Qinghe has never said a word, but it is so touching. And this movie also indirectly tells us a truth, the terrible is often not ghosts, but the human heart, the dark human heart can not tolerate the light. And ghosts that belong to darkness cannot touch the light.
