ghost stories has always been very popular in Taiwan, especially the stories with Taiwanese characteristics, but the mainland has slowly declined. The Taiwanese film "Che Xiaojin's Hotel", which combines humor and horror, is a very interesting work that can be seen from the trailer. The story of
began when Che Xiaojin had been in school but had not graduated, but was forced to return to his hometown to inherit the family business by his grandparents who had been running a run-down hot spring hotel. At the same time, the two classmates Xiaolu and Xiaogong who were bullied at school also followed Xiaojin in order to avoid being bullied. Unexpectedly, as the time in the hotel got longer, Xiaojin found that the hotel began to become a little abnormal.
โโhorror films generally give people the feeling that they must be scared to death. Whether it is a serial murderer in the West or a curse in the Eastern world, this kind of film has always given people this image for a long time. However, there are also many suspense films that try to add a lot of contrast to make the overall story more interesting, so that people who don't watch or are afraid of this type can enjoy the fun of horror films together in the theater. For example, the classic Hong Kong movie "The Ghost Tour" is a classic Hong Kong movie that uses comedy to pack the elements of ghost stories. In Thailand, both entertainment and ghost films are packed with unique characteristics, such as "There are no ghosts in this high school" and "The Grim Wife".
"Cheer Xiaojin's Hotel" also inherits the two high-contrast effects of funny and horror as the theme, and shoots alternative Taiwanese horror movies. The story structure from the beginning to the end is quite complete, and the overall film tone is also They are quite consistent, and even many of the jokes in the feature film are more distinctive than those given in the trailer, which makes people feel fresh, and the scale of humor and horror is appropriate, so that the whole movie has no cold spots, and the art and visual effects are also very sticky this time. But the style of this work, especially in the description of the hotel. The whole aspect of the
movie "Cheer Xiaojinโs Hotel" is not tacky and a little stubborn. Compared with the past comedy, only Taiwanese homophonic or outdated internet laughter is the only modest expression in this movie. The film appears to be younger and closer to life in the presentation of the plot, highlighting the humorous film pace, which is rare recently. Although horror and other themes have been used more or less in many movies such as "No. 1 Qingtian Street", the horror comedy of "Che Xiaojin's Hotel" is slightly better.
Because of the youth and novelty, there are many animation-style pictures in the movies, and there are even many similar to Japanese and Korean dramas. For example, from the beginning of the school, some of the sub-mirror structures shown by the characters and the characters are very comic style. In the three forms of realization of "joy", "horror" and "moderate" in film and television, the stories that go through are not too addictive but obtrusive and easy to predict. They are no better than horror and comedy. Especially the warm plot of the last few scenes, although I know why I want to develop this way, it is also slightly embarrassing.
"The Hotel of Xiaojin's House" is a humorous and slightly horrible light-hearted sketch. It is a Taiwanese film that is comprehensive in all aspects. The comic-style script and storytelling style are in line with the tastes of young people, but the story The overall and elegant art can also make the older generation happy to see, and many of them are even happy jokes for the family, which are worth seeing.
