As a pursuit of horror films, it tends to pay attention to details. A gloomy environment, a group of neurotic people, some that don't normally sound like anything, but sound very eerie in a particular environment, and a terrifying setting. With these few elements in place, horror movies can easily unfold. If these elements are made very fine, then the birth of a very classic horror film is not empty talk.
Horror films that work the environment will generally have a fixed scene, or a house, preferably an ancient castle. Because this is the place where supernatural phenomena are most prone to occur. What we can think of is the "Conjuring" series and "The Shining", "Dead Silence", etc.; there are many horror films that make the characters to the extreme, such as "Deadly ID", "Horror" and "Cold-Blooded Horror" in the fine shards, etc.; similarly, using a sound to highlight the horror atmosphere Is the basic step, not to explain too much, many domestic horror films generally have a voice other than screaming; and the setting is the core of the whole story, some horror films are purely for the sake of killing people, This is true of psychopathic homicidal movies, and some are killing for religious purposes. Like those cult movies and so on. These are also the things that a good horror film should have.
The movie recommended to you today uses a contradictory technique to highlight the rationality of the story on the basis of the above elements. Of course, the ending also gives us more room to imagine. The film is called "Innocent People" If you look at this film with a preconceived notion, it will definitely be biased by the ending, on the contrary, if you look at it in the opposite way, then it is much more interesting.
Beautiful female teachers came to the country manor to take care of the employer's nephew and niece. The estate is big and eerie. This basically satisfies the first condition we mentioned earlier. Under normal circumstances, there must be untold stories in this Yang's manor. The manor in this film tells the audience at the beginning that this is a place with a story. And the setting of the heroine at the beginning is also the same. He is beautiful and at the same time inexperienced. With such a character setting, we can easily think of her as a weak person. And such an idea also provides the basis for the subsequent reversal.
This manor is not only rich in stories, but also sparsely populated. The only housekeeper is a big mom, and this big mom basically meets the big mom setting in horror movies. He didn't say much, just told the female lord to get along with the child well, not to ask what he shouldn't ask, and not to see what he shouldn't know. In addition, from the mouth of the big mother, we got the information that this manor is very large and has a lot of empty rooms. The most important thing is that there was a former female teacher before that, and this former female teacher finally died. This is the introduction to this film.
During the time spent with the little girl, the beautiful female teacher felt very comfortable. Little girls are easy to get along with, and there is not much estrangement between them. The only thing that puzzled the female teacher was that the little girl always liked to say something inexplicable to herself, and these words only made the female teacher feel confused at this time. But it was this confusion that laid the groundwork for the subsequent development of the story.
Then the little boy appeared. His appearance is accompanied by an eerie gentlemanly demeanor, and his speech and demeanor have gone beyond the scope of a child, which is also very confusing to the female teacher. At the same time, the core theme of this film has also been quietly introduced. Boys and girls are two very different personalities, girls like to play with small animals, while boys like to play pranks. His act of hide-and-seek again directly left the female teacher breathless. Thankfully, the girl showed up at the end.
For the strange behavior of the two, the female teacher began to learn from the maid. It turned out that in the early years, the former female teacher and the male maid had a relationship, and the two often did some shameful things in front of the boys and girls in broad daylight, and later the matter was revealed, and the two died. The female teacher who learned of this news combined all the previous strange scenes, including her constant sighting of people who should not have appeared, and came to the conclusion that there were ghosts in this room.
If we follow the thinking of the female teacher, it is easy to conclude that the two children were possessed by the former female teacher and the maid respectively. But this does not explain why the female teacher dared to fight the ghost alone, and in the beginning, she was clearly the image of a weak woman. Moreover, in the 60s, Liang Jingru was not yet born. Thinking of this, I can only draw a conclusion, it turns out that this female teacher has already developed a love for this boy. Seeing this, everyone suddenly realized that the female teacher who kissed the boy before did not resist, and later when the girl was intimidated, in order to expel, everything suddenly opened up.
However, the ending did not develop according to the idea of the female teacher, although her love enemy was gone, but her favorite boy was scared to death by herself, and in the end it was still a bamboo basket to hit the water.
This is a horror movie from the 60s, in which the beautiful female teacher falls in love with the story of her students, decades ahead of Japanese movies, perhaps this is the point of view.
