ghost film was once a more popular movie genre in the Hong Kong film industry, especially in the 1980s. In the hearts of the audience, ghost films made in Hong Kong can indeed win word of mouth without being scary by trailers. Even many actors have become professional ghost films, such as the ghost queen Roland, which must be the childhood shadow of many people. But let's not talk about them today, let's take a look at the horror movies played by the eight great movie kings in Hong Kong.
1, Ren Dahua: "Misted Night"
This is Ren Dahua's 2013 work, based on Li Bihua's "Night" series of novels, the movie is also divided into a total of three paragraphs, namely, "Stogether", "Let go", "Terrorist". Ren Dahua's self-directed and acted part tells the story of a poor middle-aged man who steals ashes for extortion. Ren Dahua’s style is very sensible, but the overall story is too big and there is no center. On the contrary, I personally like Leung Ka Fai’s "Let go"
2, Louis Koo: "Yin Yang Road"
"Yin Yang Road" should be a more classic ghost film series. When I was young, I didn't dare to watch it alone. I just waited for everyone to rent a plate and watch it home. Music and makeup are very characteristic. Lei Yuyang in the film is also a familiar face, and Koo Tianle also participated in seven of the orthodox parts. The scene of him waving with another supporting role radar is still remembered.
3, Zhou Xingchi: "Return to the Soul Night"
Zhou Xingchi's "Return to the Soul Night" is also a pretty bluffing ghost film, which is probably attributed to Hou Huanling's grandmother. However, it also contains a lot of nonsense elements. Because of this, every time it comes to a critical moment, it will still smile knowingly. It is a relatively different kind of ghost film. It is precisely because it is a work by Stephen Chow. Watching one of the ghost films that are not tired of watching
4. Chow Yun-fat: "Ghost Bride"
"Ghost Bride" is a horror film shot by Chow Yun-fat in 1987. The story is very simple. The female ghost, the ex-girlfriend who broke up is naturally not high-hearted, and after committing suicide, the ghost seeks revenge. The story setting of "Ghost Bride" is quite interesting. There is love, a female ghost, and a box office. I recommend it and I want to say that Zhou Yunfa and Zhong Chuhong are really super matching.
5, Leung Ka Fai: "New Skin Lantern"
This film is based on the 1982 Shaw Brothers classic "Human Skin Lantern", the story is compact and lively, director Liu Weiqiang also added a lot of fresh blood, Liang Jiahui and Yau Shuzhen's strange love is one. There are also elements of funny, horror, and fragrant. Of course, if you look at it from the current perspective of the movie, it may be more like a poignant love story
6. Leslie Cheung: "Alien Space"
When it comes to Leslie Cheung’s ghost film, everyone may I know that he has acted in "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Killing Love", and "Rouge Button", but the scary one is the last work of my brother, "Alien Space". The schizophrenic characters in ghost films are usually accompanied by the appearance of spiritual visions. In this regard, "Alien Space" handles particularly well, not only the atmosphere of the film is created, but the acting skills of Leslie Cheung and Lin Jiaxin are also very good. . Compared with the visual horror, psychological damage is invincible to the audience.
7, Huang Qiusheng: "Returning the Dead"
Hong Kong horror films in the 1990s always like to divide the movie into three short stories. This 1997 "Returning the Dead" is one of them, and Huang Qiusheng's section is called "The Last dinner". The character setting is very similar to the one in "Returning the Soul Night". Huang Qiusheng and Yuan Qiongdan are thieves and very unfilial. It's just that the old mother in "Returning the Soul" came back to take revenge, and the mother played by Roland in "Returning the Dead" just wanted to have the last supper with her family on the night of March 7th. If you disdain the charm of hags, you can look at this little story as a warm family movie.
8, Wu Zhenyu: No matter how terrifying the ghost film mentioned in "The Mountain Village Old Corpse"
, I believe it can't match Wu Zhenyu's "The Mountain Village Old Corpse". This ghost film is the best in Hong Kong in the hearts of fans. Needless to say, many people still dare not watch it alone until today. I don't care why I killed Xiaoqiang in the end. The magic of Chu Renmei is really too strong.
