I don't know when it started, the Japanese who are good at learning have learned Chinese ghost films.
This in itself is a very scary thing.
If you don't have to start, that could be [Sadako 3D] in 2012.
This invincible IP luxury lineup ghost film that combines popular actors such as Rimi Ishihara, Yasushi Seto, and Shota Someya, was released on the website yahoo! 68.3% gave 1 star.
Take a closer look at the label in the lower left corner.
The first "laughing", which means to make people laugh.
Since then, Sadako's business has been second only to China's Pen Immortal. On the basis of this super poor reputation, the director rode the wind and waves to shoot [Sadako 3D:2]. Although 44.8% of people still play 1 star, they have made progress compared to the first part, breaking through the 2-star mark.
In June 2016, a month after the launch of [Pen Sen vs Sadako] in China, Japan's [Sadako vs. Ga Coconut] was released.
The two ghost films have engaged in unknowing competitions with the same heavyweight lineup. As a result, the pen fairy blessed by 21 movies is still slightly inferior to the exotic Sadako.
PK is continuing.
Seeing that the pen xiandu vs. Zhenzi twice, Zhenzi did not show weakness, taking "less to win more" as the guideline, and launched a concise and concise - [Zhenzi].
The release date was deliberately chosen on the same day as [Pen Sen vs. Sadako], May 24, for reasons that speak for themselves.
[Sadako] is a really good movie, really good looking.
If it weren't good-looking, it wouldn't have been able to look at it.

The actress of [Sadako] is called Ikeda Iraisa, and she looks like this.
In the movie, she looks like this—
Born in 1996, Ikeda Iraisa starred in the Japanese version of [Sunshine Sister Tao] (Douban 8.3)
Laughing is like this —
The male actor has The Japanese Jin Dong Kiriyama Ryo -
The representative Japanese drama "This can not be reimbursed!" (Douban 8.5)
Juvenile version of Hu Ge Qing Shui Xun ye ——
Shinya Shimizu, born in 1999
and the Fuku version of Takashi Tsukamoto-
Takashi Tsukamoto has starred in [Battle Royale] (Douban 8.0), [Extremely Evil] (Douban 7.9)
Look good.
Unfortunately, this movie is useless except for good looks.
What story does [Sadako] tell?
The main line is the encounter of the little girl with the ability. She was considered by her mother to be the "reincarnation of Sadako" and was almost burned to death. At a critical moment, Sadako appears and saves her life.
The little girl then fainted on the street and was taken to the hospital, where the doctor was the heroine Akikawa.
In [Sadako], the little girl replaces the videotape as a medium for summoning Sadako. However, it was not her powers that summoned Sadako, but her abuse by her mother.
In the film, the heroine Mo You and her brother have both been abandoned, so they have also become the object of Sadako's pursuit.
This is the most vicious part of this movie.
Although the [Midnight Bell] trilogy is a large adaptation of Mitsuji Suzuki's original work, concealing the identity of Sadako's yin and yang people, weakening the science fiction elements, but the construction of suspense is very successful, and the articles made around the videotape and Sadako's life are enough to support the plot and burn the brain.
[Sadako] is different. Maybe because the story has been told, the mystery of Sadako's body has been dissolved, she is no different from other "ghosts" in this film, and it is no different if you let the pen fairy play.
In the past, the viral way of killing you for no reason and relying on videotapes to spread has become a specialty for abused children.
The sense of unsolvable horror was suddenly demoted.
The scene at the end of the film gives people a sense of déjà vu, which is similar to [The Spirit Spell].
Pseudo-documentary [Spirit Spell], Douban 7.2
The plot is set close to tetsuya Nakajima's horror film [Coming] in 2018, and is also centered on abused/abandoned children. But the film is completely two levels.
[Here comes] Douban 6.9
In [Midnight Bell], the way to try to end the killing is to find the truth, such as investigating the household registration and going down to the well ([Midnight Bell 1]), such as using mind power to channel ([Midnight Bell 2]), such as using scientific medicine ([Ring reappears]). Success is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the sense of suspense.
[Midnight Bell 2: Sadako] The film uses a lot of scientific means
In [Sadako], the way to save a person is the power of love.
In [Coming], which has a similar theme, the power of love also exists, which is reflected in the characters' non-giving up and desperate fight; in [Sadako], it is embodied in "a hug".
This way of saving others with "love" in the face of supernatural forces is equivalent to mechanical séance in dramas, equivalent to mechanical neuropathy in domestic horror movies.
There is also a head-to-head confrontation with the boss Sadako in the film.
In the past, for Sadako, the protagonist knew that he could only outwit and be invincible, after all, seeing Sadako was either scared to death or scared crazy, unless the opponent was another fierce ghost- Ga Coconut or Pen Fairy. Otherwise it must be this expression.
In [Sadako], the protagonist goes head-to-head with Sadako.
The way to fight is, tug-of-war.
This is simply an insult to Sadako.
With mechanics in line with Newton's laws, the ultimate problem in the ghost film is not as good as our country's metaphysical way of influencing each other, "The People's Virgin".
Plot aside, [Sadako] is not a qualified horror film at all, not even a horror film.
To know that the horror level of [Midnight Bell] was based on how many people were scared to death, the movie itself has become an urban legendary existence, and there are many "news" that "scares the old lady to death" and "scares the heroine to death".
Even Liu Xing was scared enough. There are similar shots of [Mountain Village Old Corpse], which has obvious traces but is successful in localization.
Hong Kong films learned quickly, in 1998 [Midnight Bell] was released in Hong Kong, and in 1999, it was filmed [Mountain Village Old Corpse]
This kind of naked horror shot is actually rare in [Midnight Bell]. The film is better at using the oppressive and dim environment, pondering the details of extreme fear to create tension.
For example, a corpse suddenly grows hair.
For example, the body's fingernails were all shed, and Sadako survived in the well for 30 years and has been trying to climb out.
And in [Sadako], the most terrifying picture is the ancestral videotape.
Because by the most exciting part, our protagonist Miss Mo you fainted. People who survive by fainting, and the people who died in the previous work, probably because of their psychological endurance.
[Sadako] has some small designs that make sense of emotion, and in the film, Miss Moyu's patient Masami Kurahashi, that is, a high school student in the first two films, the actors are Sato Hitomi.

Through Masami Kurahashi telling the story of the past, the film reviews the plot and reflects the connection with the previous game.
But this is the same as the fact that Hideo Nakata, the director of the first two films and the American version of "Midnight Bells", directed this film, and it is impossible to adapt [Sadako] to be a bad film.
There are always many horror movies of the year, and this one is the worst of the year.
The premise is that [Pen Immortal] does not launch the 22nd part.
