The old-fashioned horror film "Queen Bee", the cinematography, sound effects, and story are all superior, and the more you watch it, the more wonderful it is

posters

God knows how many weird movies I've watched.

Queen Bee, also known as The Queen Bee. The title is strongly suggestive, and in fact, it is misleading to the audience. This film is produced by "Jiahe", and the shooting team is from Taiwan Province.

Xiao Yan

The heroine debuts.

This gentle and weak actor is called Ling Yin, and her film career was only a few years from 1970 to 1975, and she participated in the shooting of fifteen films. There is very little information about her on the Internet, I found a few scans of the 1985 TV Weekly magazine, and it can be seen from the pictures that her career focus is mainly on TV dramas, she has filmed more than a hundred TV series, quit the show business circle around 1977, and returned to shoot the TV series "Hello Family" in 1985.

The woman "Xiao Yan", played by Ling Yin, saw the advertisement published in the newspaper and came to a large household to apply for a maid. There were two fierce wolf dogs in the courtyard, and because they were desperate to get the job, Xiao Yan climbed over the wall to enter.

Lei Gong

wife

driver

There is a vicious-looking housekeeper "Lei Gong" (played by Zu Bolin), a beautiful and cold wife (played by Fang Xin), a mysterious old man (played by Miao Tian), a crazy old wang mother (played by Bai Lin) and a grumpy driver (played by Jiang Yang). —— Frankly, except for Miao Tian, who has acted in a lot of kung fu films, I don't know any other actors.

Xiao Yan lost a shoe because she was chased by a dog. The photographer was sweet, came up with a close-up from top to bottom, good legs.

The wife told Xiao Yan about the rules of the family and told her that Lao Wang's mother was not in good health, and if Lao Wang's illness could not get better, "for example, if she died", she could continue to do it for a long time.

Old Wang Ma

Xiao Yan went to find Lao Wang's mother and found that she had hanged herself. Xiao Yan was frightened and paralyzed, and Lei Gong comforted her.

The old man in the videotape

Lei Gong brought breakfast to the old man. The old man was a fencing master, and he always stayed in a dark room, sitting in a rocking chair and watching his winning tapes repeatedly without a word.

Old Wang Mama went crazy again, holding up a kitchen knife to chase Xiao Yan. This scene is the first small climax of the film, the soundtrack, the shot, very weird.

Old Wang's mother killed herself in madness. Xiao Yan broke into his wife's bedroom in a hurry and found his wife's private affair with the driver.

The driver wanted to kill Xiao Yan to extinguish the mouth, Xiao Yan broke free and asked the old man for help, and found that sitting on the rocking chair was a skeleton.

Xiao Yan fainted and woke up to find herself tied to the bed. Note that here's another perk from photographers: leg close-ups. The driver entered and told Xiao Yan the secret of the family.

It turned out that the old man had been dead for three years. The wife had been abused by the old man before, and in retaliation, the wife deliberately lured the man to the house for pleasure, and the driver was one of them. This corresponds to the title of the film, "The Queen Bee of the Man Who Can Bee".

This set of stills can be seen that the decorations in the home are very avant-garde, and the art direction is indispensable.

Photographers are also extraordinary.

Xiao Yan danced on his wife's bed (the photographer is definitely a leg control), and the wife smiled and clapped, and there is a lily tendency here.

The wife gave Xiao Yan a pill, and Xiao Yan fell into a coma and had various hallucinations. Like a dream, like a real thing.

The driver disappeared inexplicably, and a "pony" (played by Wang Rong) applied. This pony is not simple, can speak the Tao, is young and powerful, and scares his wife into a stunned.

An old lady came looking for her son, the former driver Dasheng.

The pony borrowed the name of planting flowers and dug a pit in the courtyard in the middle of the night, in fact, to find gold coins.

Xiao Yan encounters the ghost of the old man and tells Xiao Ma the secret of this family. The pony explored the old man's study and found nothing.

Dasheng's mother came to look for her son again, and Xiaoma gave her the hat she found when digging the pit, which was the hat of the former driver Dasheng.

The wife seduced the pony unsuccessfully. At the same time, Xiao Yan and Da Sheng's mother continued to dig in the courtyard and finally found Da Sheng's body.

Xiao Ma Er visited the old man's study, and this mysterious old man finally appeared. He did not die, but hid in the room behind the bedroom, watching his wife's every move. "According to the terminology of Western psychologists, this is perversion." The wife finally broke out, counting the atrocities of the old man. "The Queen Bee of the Human-Rich-Cut Queen" turned out to be a puppet. And the men who were seduced died under the old man's sword and were buried in the garden. This scene is densely wired, extremely informative, and the actors perform very well.

The pony fights with the old man, and this driver is really not simple.

The pony was defeated, and Lei Gong suddenly appeared and strangled the old man. It turned out that he had been silently guarding his wife. This setting reminds me of Quasimodo in "Notre Dame de Paris". Before Lei Gong died, he sent out a soul torture question: "Why didn't you promise me to be a driver once!?" ”

The driver was certainly not simple, it turned out that he was an undercover policeman.

The film ends with the light of day, Xiao Yan rushing out of the gate to deliver a letter to the police station, and this story of twists and turns can also be regarded as a round story.

Due to the film's bizarre angles and eerie sound effects, I paid special attention to the film's cinematographers and sound effects artists.

Photography Lin Qingbiao, I did not find his information. Could it be the pseudonym of Ye Qingbiao (a famous Taiwanese photographer who was a part-time lecturer at the Institute of Audiovisual Records of the National Tainan Academy of Arts and a judge of the 30th Golden Horse Awards)?

Recording Lin Dinggui (how come there are so many surnames Lin?) In 1971, he won the Best Sound Effect Award at the 9th Golden Horse Awards for "Falling Eagle Gorge", and in 1978, he was nominated for the Best Sound Effect Award at the 15th Golden Horse Awards for "Looking at the Spring Breeze".

Final conclusion: The atmosphere of this film is in place, the actors are outstanding, the plot is ups and downs, and the cinematography and sound effects are superb. Although there are some small bugs, the flaws are not hidden, and it is a wonderful work. If you're a horror movie lover, this film won't disappoint you, especially if you're alone in the dead of night.
