It is difficult for domestic horror films to produce fine products, which has probably become the consensus of the audience.
Without the combination of film ratings, "animals are not allowed to become spirits after the founding of the country", can not be blamed for chaos, can not be too bloody and violent, and other elements are combined, it is difficult for horror films to be filmed well.
Therefore, domestic horror films are more about the atmosphere, careful thinking and reflection on human nature.
Recently, there is a domestic horror film that has indeed reached the point where your back is cold, slightly sweaty, and extremely afraid to think about it in such a summer.
This is the online movie "Water Monster 2: Black Wood Forest" that launched on the dual platforms of Youku and iQiyi on August 20.

At the same time, the rhythm is compact, the production is well-made, and the actors are excellent, and in the network movies of the same period, it can be said that the comprehensive strength is the strongest and the most worth brushing.
"Water Monster 2: Black Wood Forest" is produced and directed by Xiang Qiuliang and Xiang Hesheng, written by Jian Shigeng, starring Wang Zhen'er, and special starring Han Dong.
In the horror genre, its script is very critical, it can be said that whether a horror film is good or not, 50%-60% depends on whether the script is good or not.
The screenwriter of "Water Monster 2: Black Wood Forest" this time, Jian Shigeng, can be described as a gold medal screenwriter, because the "Little Girl in Red" series of horror movies written by him has been a great success at the box office, and "Little Girl in Red 2" has won the box office champion of Taiwan Province of China that year.
In addition, the "Little Girl in Red" series of movies have a good score on Douban, and "Little Girl in Red 2" shows that it is "better than 72% horror films".
It can be said that "Water Monster 2: Black Wood Forest" is guaranteed in the plot: Qingling (Wang Zhen'er), a female forensic doctor of the Republic of China, has repeatedly solved strange cases in the Shanghai patrol house, and her only trouble is the mystery of her own life. A letter from the remote town of Sheung Shui kept her in nightmares.
His younger brother Jiahao (Han Dong) goes to Shangshui Town to investigate, but he mysteriously disappears. Qingling had to go to Shangshui Town to find out, and the remote and deserted and eerie villages, the "curse" about the revenge of the water monkeys was fulfilled one after another. The brave and decisive Qingling bravely carries a gun to brave the forbidden land of the water monster - the black wood forest, and all this cause and effect seems to have been predestined.........
In this way, the model of "story based on folklore" is what Jane is good at. The story of "Water Monster 2: Black Wood Forest" takes place in the eerie town of Mirakami, along the terrifying folklore of "Water Monkey", and adds a suspenseful detective line, not to scare and scary, but to follow the protagonist's investigation.
The audience who participated in the offline movie viewing meeting said: "The film not only ensures the fast-paced narrative of the horror movie, but also respects the audience with strict logic and self-consistency, and each character setting is a detail, and I have not seen such a sincere domestic horror film for a long time."
In addition to the behind-the-scenes lineup of the gold medal, the film also has powerful actors Wang Zhen'er and Han Dong participating in the performance.
Wang Zhen'er is popular because she played the villain Ah Wen in the hit web drama "Detective Chinatown", and she interpreted the contrast between the roles with her delicate acting skills, especially the wonderful interpretation of "ghost upper body" and evil smile, which was jokingly called "ghost queen" by the audience.
Wang Zhen'er can be described as one of the domestic actresses with double online appearance and acting skills, and entered the show business circle in 2008 for starring in her first TV series "Peacock Blue".
In 2009, she starred in her first film, "Small Town Big Love".

Wang Zhen'er's own temperament is cold and melancholy, combined with the bold and witty heroine aura of the female forensic doctor Qingling in the movie, holding a shotgun to bravely break into the black wood forest of the forbidden land of the water monster, and hunting down the water monster with the villagers, which can be described as another and a sass. Some netizens commented: "The famous scene of the female protagonist carrying a gun to fight the water monster is really beautiful and sassy, and the proper 'female power' is gone." ”
And Han Dong, who starred in special roles, did not have much time to play, but he was impressive.
Han Dong is also a domestic actor with both appearance and acting skills, in fact, it is also coincidental that Han Dong was originally majoring in civil engineering of Central South University, and participated in the draft activities with a friend during a vacation to participate in the audition school selection, and was favored by director You Xiaogang, who began his own path as an actor.
In 2005, he starred in his first TV series "Very 24 Hours" and officially entered the show business circle. After that, he successively starred in film and television dramas such as "List of Fengshen Gods", "Jiangyin Fortress", "Beauty Without Tears", "Love Leisurely Herb Fragrance", "Deer Ding Ji", "Drunken Linglong", "Above the Golden Dress", "Decisive Victory in court", "Plugged in the Wind and Clouds" and other film and television dramas.
He has created a large number of impressive roles such as Yan Shifan, the "Little Cabinet Elder" in "On top of the Brocade", and the iron force that understands the righteousness in "Decisive Victory Court", which can be described as very outstanding acting.
The whole film adopts cool tones, and there are constantly group performances to sublimate the eerie dark atmosphere, increase the horror value, coupled with the background music, "Water Monster 2: Black Wood Forest" can be regarded as an excellent work in domestic movies to create a horror atmosphere.
In "Water Monster 2: Black Wood Forest", the whole town talks about the "water monkey" discoloration, and even worships the villagers who treat it like a god, no one dares to offend it and offend it, even if they talk about it, they may bring disaster to themselves. Everywhere reveals a very eerie atmosphere.
Moreover, this "water monkey" can easily take the lives of any town people, and can also accurately find people or things that come into contact with the heroine and deal with them.
When Qingling wanted to inspire the people, she shouted, "It is what hurts you, and it is what takes away your children, but instead of taking revenge, you want to defend it everywhere. "Yeah, who the hell made the whole situation like this?" Who turned black and white upside down to make the perpetrator an object of worship for all?
And when the movie enters the second half, after the heroine's memory is restored, she knows the truth of everything, but this truth is not simple, and it also makes her a little unacceptable........... As the saying goes, "What is more terrible than the ghosts and gods is the human heart." ”
In addition, the crew's costume and the director's camera language are very professional and attentive, creating a dark, low, and terrifying atmosphere of Shangshui Town.
As a big online movie, "Water Monster 2: Black Wood Forest" is indeed an excellent work in the same type of film in this summer, which is worth brushing.
