Hello everyone I'm Liu Beep ~
Usually, horror films that attach some religious elements will instantly increase the forced frame of the film. Because gods and ghosts actually have commonalities: one thought becomes a Buddha and one thought becomes a demon.
The horror film I want to talk about today "Curse" is a pseudo-documentary, in order to increase the sense of horror, the film once fabricated the characters in the film in reality, and even checked the ID cards and driver's licenses of the characters in the movie, so that to this day some people believe that the content in this movie is true.
Today I'm going to debunk a rumor, this piece is fake. But why do people believe that this movie is real to this day, and now, I will lead you into this story, there is a Japanese writer named Masafumi Kobayashi.
He published a lot of weird stories, and later used DV, made a lot of videos, and in 2004 he made a video called "Curse". On April 12 of that year, his house caught fire, his wife was burned to death, and Kobayashi disappeared.
In November 2002, Kobayashi went to interview a mother and daughter, and the housewife said that she heard the baby's cry from the next door neighbor's house, and the crying was very permeable.
The housewife said that the next-door neighbor also lived with a middle-aged woman with a small boy who never greeted each other when they met.
Xiaolin went to the neighbor's house to knock on the door to see what the situation was, half a day, came out of a fierce woman, Xiaolin just introduced herself, the woman shouted with a vicious face: What is your tone, even after saying a few words, you closed the door.
Kobayashi could only return in vain, but when he turned back, they did hear some strange sounds, Kobayashi found a professional sound institute, through special processing, removed the noise, and indeed heard the baby's cry.
Not long after this incident, Kobayashi went to visit the strange woman again, but learned that she had moved away a few days ago. Kobayashi found out that the woman's full name was Junko Ishii.
In the courtyard of Ishii Junko's house, Kobayashi found that her family had all kinds of withered plants, and a large number of pigeon corpses, and what was even stranger was that five days after the visit, the mother and daughter who had asked him about it had died in a car accident.
Kobayashi felt a little strange about this, but he didn't know that if he explained this feeling, the haze in his heart was like a dark night hanging over him, and the previous video was in November 2002.
Now the time jumps to August 2003, in a supernatural variety show, the host said that he wanted to do an experiment with the participants on the specific function. The first is perspective, where the pattern is first placed in the box by the host.
The children below see the pattern inside the box through special functions, and then draw it, and there is a little girl named Kanai who can completely draw the right one
The second test is more difficult, to use the mind to make water in the bottle out of thin air, Kanai actually succeeded, but kanai made the water is very turbid, it seems that there is hair in it, and then take it to test and find that the water is either lake water or river water, and the hair is most likely the baby's fetal hair.
After the show aired, Kobayashi went to visit Kanai's house, and Kanai's mother said that since she was on the show, Kanai came home to sleep, and her mother said: Maybe, with excessive brain fatigue.
Students please note that these contents I said seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact, all of this is related, in October of the same year, the female artist Ma Sauce and two funny artists went to record an outdoor adventure program, on the way Ma Sauce said that he belonged to a sensitive physique, often prone to encounter some bad things.
The two funny artists did not believe it, and when they arrived at the location, Ma Sauce said that he was very uncomfortable, and then suddenly pointed to the front and said that there seemed to be something there, she had a very strong feeling, walked over and looked at it and found that there was a dead tree in a green bush, and there seemed to be some liquid flowing out of the tree.
Ma Sauce was scared to turn around and run, but also said that she could hear a man talking in her ear, the staff and the two of them were scared, just watch herself and the air fight wits, and then Ma Sauce shouted, fell to the ground and began to roar, rolling, the video was forced to abort.
In November of the same year, a month had passed since the incident, Andashi and Ma Sauce talked about it together on a strange talk show, and in order to understand the confusion, they also invited a psychic medium, Embarrassing Brother, why is it called Embarrassing Brother, because his expression has always been this kind of more entangled and embarrassing.
The brother was wrapped in a layer of aluminum paper, and the host introduced that he was carrying out the warning activity of the spirit earthworm to protect mankind, and at this point, in fact, several of the main characters in the film appeared.
The psychic embarrassing brother saw the sauce and rushed over to her and shouted, "Hey! You are dangerous! Suddenly he said with doubt, pigeons? So many pigeons!
After the show, Kobayashi found the producer of the previous show, the producer said that in fact, the video of the night was cut for a while, Kobayashi called the sauce to watch it together, they found that night in the depths of the woods, there was a strange humanoid creature that seemed to be standing by and watching them, what was not clear, the shape of the head and the perspective of the special function girl Kanai's perspective fifth question.
And Ma Sauce also said that after recording home that night, she consciously drew some patterns, and after another month, the mother of Kanai, a special function girl, took the initiative to contact Kobayashi.
Saying that this child has a fever and fever, he often talks to himself alone, and is saying, this child suddenly came to a sentence, maybe, it is all finished, and soon Kanai disappeared.
Her mother said that on the night of the disappearance, a strange man covered with aluminum paper appeared, saying that he wanted to see Kanai, and also took out a leaflet that Kanai had written, and on the back of the leaflet was Kanai's handwritten life-saving two words, Kobayashi remembered that the person must be a psychic embarrassing brother
The story in the middle is very complicated, I suggest you watch the video to understand, but the text version, I will still comb the plot for you
What is the relationship between the characters in this movie, first of all, the concept of the evil soul has been explained in the movie. It was summoned by a witch according to the ancient curse of the filthy yin, and it has a substance, and the entity tells us at the end of the movie, that is, the little boy with Junko Ishii.
But when it is not fully summoned, it can control or influence people, but usually it can influence basically the kind of people who are sensitive to the spiritual constitution, and the Ishii Runzi family has been the temple prince for generations, presiding over the festival that seals it.
Physique is absolutely different from ordinary people, although the movie did not say, but I believe that Ishii Runko must also be a sensitive physique, and the failure of that seal also led to the regurgitation of the evil soul.
Junko Ishii colleagues said that at that time, Ishii Junko claimed to be able to hear the instructions of the gods, and the purpose of the evil soul was to summon a complete self through the mouth of the witch. Ishii Junko did the same, she used her status as a nurse to eat the dead baby, but she did not succeed, perhaps her spiritual constitution did not meet the requirements
Then the Evil Spirit found two other alternative witches: one was Kanai, remember the fifth answer that Kanai drew in the show, the image she drew was the Evil Spirit.
It shows that at that time, the evil spirit had begun to contact her, and in the second experiment, Kanai's water from the bottle, and the baby's fetal hair was actually water from the reservoir in Shimoshika Mao Village, and the baby's fetal hair was naturally a sacrificial dead baby.
Then Kanai said to herself at home that it was probably all doomed, and that sentence was actually the cursed soul that she said that the cursed soul had the ability to kill people through resentment, and in the movie, those who died were killed by it.
The later story is that Kanai was trained as a witch and fed to her by Ishii Runko Dead Baby Finally she succeeded in summoning the Evil Spirit, the boy, the boy who was supposed to belong to the carrier before, because he followed Ishii Junko very early, if it was summoned out of thin air, it would not be reasonable in time.
Another candidate for witches in the movie is Mochi.... Ma Sauce also said that she has been sensitive since she was a child, and Ma Sauce has been exposed to the Evil Spirit at the beginning of the movie, and when the Evil Spirit is not an entity, it is in the woods, observing her.
When the scourge soul appears, the specific feature is that the plant will wither, and then the sauce will unconsciously tie strange knots, and draw strange patterns Most of the people who have been in contact with the cursed soul in the movie are dead, only she is alive in the end, she claims to be in good health, in fact, she has been completely controlled, the necessary conditions for summoning the cursed soul, there are witches, props.
In fact, it is the strange knotted ropes, pigeon claws, and stone totems that appear in the movie, and the psychic embarrassing brother is actually a good person, and he knows how not to be controlled. That's aluminum paper, and I remember that he wore aluminum paper as soon as he appeared, and his home was also covered with aluminum paper, and he wasn't controlled until the end of the movie, when he was wearing a psychiatric hospital gown.
He sensed the existence of the evil soul very early on, calling it the spirit body earthworm, perhaps that was the original image of the evil spirit, a monster that looked like an earthworm.
Kobayashi was only a participant from beginning to end, and finally broke the family, but he did not die, and the package sent out in his name also shows this, probably to make a sequel.
Why do pseudo-documentaries become regulars in horror films, because this model gives people a strong sense of substitution. Although you know that this movie is fake, it will be brought into the plot unconsciously, and the cost is relatively low, but it is more testing the director's control of editing.
The religious elements used in this film are also a good combination of local Japanese customs, and the supernatural phenomena in religion have long been important material for horror films.
The seemingly absurd plot is paved by the layers of the film, and finally reversed, a modern urban horror story seems to be rationalized and straight to the heart.
