There is such a movie because of its extremely frightening storyline, once rated as the most frightening film in Hong Kong. Together with "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" and "Alien Space", it has become one of the three major horror films in Hong Kong. Actress Li Xinjie is more known as the queen of Hong Kong ghost films because of her wonderful interpretation, and then this film set off a wave of shooting horror films with strange stories. There are more rumors, which make this film look weird.
This movie is "See the Ghost!!!
The heroine (Li Xinjie) has been blind since childhood, and in order to restore her vision, she underwent cornea transplant surgery. In the trance of unpacking the gauze, in addition to the doctor and relatives, there seemed to be a black shadow dangling in front of her eyes. Since his vision had just been restored, the attending physician told Huang Jiawen that the eyes would be highly myopic at the beginning of the restoration of vision, and then the vision would gradually return to normal. The heroine's eyes felt very uncomfortable, but it was good that the little girl Ying Ying in the same ward accompanied him.
Restoring her eyesight is a good thing, but during the recovery period in the hospital, the heroine can always see the inexplicable figure in the blurred vision, which makes her wonder.
At night, the heroine suddenly heard the choking cry of the old woman in the same ward from the corridor, looking for the sound, and the heroine vaguely saw that the old woman was taken away by a man dressed in black. It wasn't until the next morning that she learned that the old woman had died, so what happened to the old woman she saw last night? Who is the man in black next to the old woman?
Not only in the hospital, strange things that happened next to the heroine followed: the strange man in black standing on the highway; the little boy who ate candles in the residential building and kept repeating "to the report card"; the unprovoked appearance in the dream made the heroine nervous, when she told others what she saw and heard, others looked at the heroine with inexplicable eyes, and everyone thought that the heroine's eyesight was not fully restored.
It wasn't until a little boy passed through her body that he learned that the boy had just died in a car accident, and that she had. What made her even more panicked was that next to the boy's ghost stood the man in black before the old woman died.
The heroine found her own attending doctor, Dr. Lu, as a highly educated, staunch atheist Dr. Lu apparently believed that the heroine had a psychological illness after her recovery. The depressed heroine opened the elevator home, but found an old man standing in the corner with his back to himself, but there was no one in the surveillance video!
The heroine did not dare to stop any longer, and before she reached the floor of her house, she quickly pressed the elevator and ran to the stairs. In the stairway, she saw the pale elementary school student again, and the primary school student bowed his head and asked gloomily, "Sister, have you seen my exam paper?" The angry heroine scolded him, but saw the little boy run to the window and jump.
This time the heroine was really frightened, she closed the door tightly, and anyone who called her would not go out. Eventually, because of her mental exhaustion, she was admitted to the hospital again. Here she saw Ying Ying again, but she noticed that the man in black was standing behind Ying Ying, and the heroine was crying, he knew what the appearance of the man in black represented. In this way, the crowd attended Ying Ying's funeral.
When flipping through Ying Ying's photos, the heroine found that Ying Ying was next to a strange woman, and Dr. Lu told her that this was her photo with Ying Ying! The heroine took a picture of the mirror in a panic, but found that it was not her face at all in the mirror.
Through Dr. Lu's investigation, the heroine learned that the donor of the eye mask she used was from Thailand, and without hesitation, the heroine and Dr. Lu flew to Bangkok, Thailand. When searching for files in the hospital, the heroine found that the scene in the hospital was the same as her dream!
What is the connection between the two? With the help of the hospital doctor, the heroine learned that the original owner of her cornea was called Ah Ling, and ah Ling was born with yin and yang eyes, as long as Ah Ling shouted in front of a certain house, then the family would definitely have someone die in the near future. Therefore, she has always suffered from the rejection of the villagers and is regarded as a plague god by the villagers.
Several people found Ah Ling's mother's residence, and learned from Ah Ling's mother that there was a fire in the village a few years ago, but before the fire, in the face of Ah Ling's shouts and accusations, the villagers did not pay any attention, and finally the fire caused more than 300 people to die. Ah Ling was also the second day after the fire.
Lying in the room where Ah Ling was alive, the heroine seemed to feel the pain suffered by Ah Ling before she died, and it turned out that the reason why Ah Ling let the heroine dream about those scenes was to imply that she helped Ah Ling to get her mother's forgiveness, and finally with the efforts of everyone, Ah Ling was relieved and the matter came to an end.
After solving Ah Ling's affairs, I thought that everything would be fine and there would be no worries. On the way back, the lane is congested, countless vehicles are parked in place, and the heroine looks out the window but finds countless black shadows swimming in the car group! The appearance of the black shadow means that someone is about to die, and so many black shadows mean that there will be a disaster!
The heroine hurriedly ran out of the car and learned that a gas tanker truck in the middle of the road had overturned to the ground. Just like when Ah Ling told the villagers before the fire, the heroine kept slapping the parked vehicle, but no one paid attention to her, and the heroine finally realized Ah Ling's despair.
In the end, the explosion was not avoided, and the smoke in the hands of one driver became the fuse of the disaster, and the whole road fell into a sea of fire.
Under the protection of Dr. Lu, although the heroine retrieved a life, she was blind again.
In this way, the heroine can't see things again, but she has seen the most beautiful things in the world, and she has the love that Ah Ling doesn't have, which is enough.
End of story
"He see the ghost" poster
When it comes to "Seeing Ghosts", there have always been many viewers who have been upset about it, believing that the peak of Hong Kong horror movies should belong to "See ghosts".
In Hong Kong-style horror films, if the top three are excluded, there will definitely be a place for "See the Ghost". "See the Ghost" has always been a three-legged trend with "Mountain Village Old Corpse" and "Alien Space". (Interested readers can refer to two film articles I have written before: 20 years later, "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" is still the number one Hong Kong horror film and the death of Cheung Kwok Wing has something to do with this movie?) "Alien Space" is more than just a horror movie)
Compared with the latter two, "See the Ghost" is more textbook for the atmosphere rendering of ghost films - whether it is from the operation of the mirror, the scheduling of colors, and the performance of the heroine Li Xinjie, the atmosphere of the movie "ghost in the ghost" is three points. Compared with the previous lively Hong Kong horror films, "See the Ghost" is extremely restrained and calm and depressing about the appearance of ghosts, which has a lot to do with the collective transformation of Hong Kong films after entering the millennium.
The success of the "Seeing Ghosts" film made the directors Peng Brothers (Peng Fa Pengshun) rise rapidly and became an important force in Hong Kong horror films after 2000, after which the two brothers concocted horror films such as "Seeing Ghosts 2" and "Seeing Ghosts Ten Laws", and the Hong Kong-style ghost films represented by "Seeing Ghosts" ushered in a short climax.
Compared with the first part, the reputation of "See the Ghost 2" has decreased a lot
Nowadays, Hong Kong horror films have long ceased to be the glory of the past, whether it is Uncle Ying, Roland has become the mark of the times, those films that make us sweat and hair have long become part of the development of forensic films, have you ever remembered the movie that scared you?
The reason why "See the Ghost" is famous, in addition to the regularity of its own script story, is more of a shot that is hot on the Internet, Huang Jiawen and Dr. Lu are sitting in the train, the reflection of the mirror behind them reflects a strange woman's face, a few seconds later, the woman's face disappears, and later the lead actor Li Xinjie revealed to the media that he really encountered an unknown phenomenon when filming "See the Ghost", which undoubtedly increased the gimmick of the movie "See the Ghost". Later, the director came out to refute the rumors, saying that it was just an Easter egg they had synthesized in the movie.
But there is no doubt that the appearance of accidental footage adds a touch of mystery to the film.
Of course, it is still that sentence, horror movies are just a type of entertainment that regulates the mood, and you should not take it seriously.
I'm a fork, a big tongue that loves to watch movies and TV dramas, and we'll see you next Tuesday in "Ghost Movies!!!
