▋ 5th place "Eight Tombs Village" 1977 edition: Kaneda series of the most classic!
"Eight Tombs Village" is a mystery novel of the same name adapted from the "father of Kaneda Kazu" Yokomichi Masashi, because the story is full of suspense and eerie atmosphere, and it is completely different from the style of Kaneda's speculative novels in the past, so it is regarded as a classic: the story describes the Sengoku period in Japan, where 8 samurai took refuge in a village with 10 million taels of gold. After being discovered by the villagers, they killed all the samurai for their wealth. Since then, a series of supernatural events have occurred in this village, and it has been named "Eight Tombs Village". Later, in the Taisho period, the descendants of the former chieftains, who were hidden, even after torturing and killing 32 villagers in the village, their whereabouts have been unknown ever since. More than 20 years later, with the return of the male protagonist Tatsumi, a series of bizarre cases occurred in the village. Is the curse of the former "Eight Tombs Village" coming again, or is there someone else in the murderer?
In the minds of Japanese people, "Eight Tombs Village", just like Jin Yong's works in the Chinese world, has always been the first choice for film and television remakes. Among them, the 1977 version is the most classic: it was conceived for 6 years, produced for 2 years and 3 months, and the shooting scenes were from Iwate to Okinawa in the south, costing 700 million yen to create a large kass ju work spanning three generations and more than 100 actors, and striving to fully present the "Eight Tombs Village Universe" written by Masashi Yokogou. The scene is magnificent and with a magical and eerie atmosphere, which makes people shudder. It is also the only representative of a horror film with a completely different style among the top 5 finalists. To this day, it is still a very avant-garde work!

▋ 4th place "Ghost Call": Do you dare to answer the phone when it rings?
When I saw the 4th place "Ghost Call", did I already have that melody silently ringing in my heart? When the phone rings, the other end of the phone is his voice from the future, leaving a message from the last moment before death.... I still remember that the chord ringtones that ran through the whole play were popular at first, at first I thought it was a general bell, and hearing the uncoordinated chords behind it made people start to get hairy, and at that time, there was even a prank trend of stealing and changing the ringtones of classmates!
In addition, some netizens shared: a famous scene of a female student dying in the TV broadcast in the play, twisted limbs and arms, with a super disgusting fracture sound, and now I think I still have palpitations. Starring Yuki Shibasaki, Shinichi Tsuki, and Kazue Fukishi, who were still very young at the time, the film also grossed 1.5 billion yen in Japan, and is still the common memory of many 7th and 8th graders!

▋3rd place "Ghost Water Monster Talk": Remember to see if there is a leak on the roof before renting a house!
Ranked No. 3, "OniZunKiKi Talk" is a horror short story collection adapted from the original novel author of "Seven Nights Strange Talk" By Koji Suzuki, and at that time it was the second original thriller after "Seven Nights Strange Talk". The story depicts a single mother, Shumi (Hitomi Kuroki), who takes her daughter Ikuko to live in an old and dilapidated apartment in order to fight for the right to support, but finds that the roof is constantly oozing water, and after her daughter picks up an unknown red bag from the roof, a series of strange phenomena begin.
Japanese netizens said that the old-style apartment in the movie is too lifelike, which greatly increases the authenticity of the story. After watching this film, renting a house will pay special attention! Coupled with the dark and cool tones of the entire film, the atmosphere is so heavy that it is uncomfortable. The movie not only sees Asami Mizukawa, who was only 19 years old at the time, and Hitomi Kuroki, who is young and beautiful, both of them are no different from now, and the magic of frozen age is even more terrifying than the plot!

・Script: Yoshihiro Nakamura and Kenichi Suzuki
Starring: Hitomi Kuroki, Fumiyo Obinta, Rio Kanno, Asami Mizukawa
▋2nd Place "Grudge": Toshio, who is white, quickly get dressed!
When it comes to "The Grudge", everyone must have a lot of classic pictures in their minds: female ghost heads emerging from the toilet, female ghosts hiding in quilts, and toshio with white clothes everywhere! Because of the shocking shots and unexpected plots, it set a new model for the Japanese horror films of that year. Japanese netizens believe that "The Grudge" at that time had the courage to break the "safe field" of psychology, such as burying your head in the quilt should be the safest and most reassuring moment, but instead it became a place to meet ghosts. Therefore, the whole viewing process can not be relaxed at all, and it is still a horror work with full firepower.
In addition, you can also see the youthful figure of the boy killer Okusai Kei, as well as the girlhood of Ito Misaki, and can't help but sigh that time is really a pig-killing knife!

▋1st place "Seven Nights strange talk": I miss the popular matsushima vegetables, 19-year-old Takeuchi Yuko is super young!
The championship is unquestionably won by 1998's "Seven Nights of Strange Talk"! "Seven Nights" can be said to be a blockbuster, laying the foundation for the world's "Japanese horror film" style. In addition to creating the classic shot of Sadako crawling out of the TV, such as the TV that suddenly turns on, the video content of the unknown meaning, the phone that suddenly rings but no one responds, the eternally gloomy 2nd floor, etc., these horror elements have been successfully copied and recreated by later generations, so similar elements can be seen in movies such as "The Grudge" and "Ghost Call". The image of the Japanese ghost dressed in white and black hair has also become famous all over the world, and there is no doubt that it is the original Japanese horror film that is still very influential today!
Looking back now, you can still see matsushima vegetables that were in full swing at that time, and you can also remember Yuko Takeuchi, who was only 19 years old at the time and had just debuted. The actual age difference between the two is only 7 years old, but they accidentally found the amazing freezing power of matsushima vegetables. In addition, the female student who plays Hiroyuki Sanada is the rebellious Miki Nakatani! Unexpectedly, in addition to Sadako, the cast of that year also became a major motivation for re-brushing "Seven Nights strange talk".
