"The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" is definitely a name familiar to countless audiences. Whether it is heard by others or watched some clips for other reasons, it can be regarded as a classic of domestic horror movies.
Compared with the horror of the United States, the blood of Thailand, and the despair of Japan, "The Mountain Village Old Dead" can be said to be a truly horror film with local characteristics. It not only runs through ancient and modern times, but also makes every character's death bedding. Not bad. Although the beginning of the
movie is slightly clichéd, it is a group of young people playing a game of death. But the ending setting is quite surprising. What caused this tragedy was not the soul-seeking game, nor the weird corpse oil, but water. Many viewers will be surprised at the end: it turns out that the close-up of the faucet at the beginning of the movie is a hint and foreshadowing. The reason for all of
in the whole movie is that a female body with unresolved grievances was excavated and thrown into the water because of real estate development, and it was seen again, so everyone who drank the water would have terrible hallucinations.
In the first half of the movie, the young people who played this game died one after another. They either had hallucinations or were possessed by female ghosts. Even the male protagonist with yin and yang eyes ended up being trapped and drowned when he put on a bracelet that could calm her after entering the water, and became a water ghost.
This is also a place that makes many viewers feel unexpected, because in most horror movies, the protagonist seems to be opened, with a safety aura, and the hero of "The Mountain Village Old Corpse" lives to the fullest. It was about to come to an end, but suddenly died, and he did not escape the curse of the game.
Many viewers were surprised when they saw this place. Originally, Master Wu Zhenyu who studied spirituality was the hero of this story, and finally returned home with the beauty Gigi Lai.
He insists that all horror fantasy is spread through the media around him, reflecting the illusion in everyone's heart, a bit similar to Zhou Xingchi's definition of fear, fear and other emotions in "Return to the Soul." This is important because it shows that what this movie conveys is not really demons and monsters in the world, but illusions created by the human heart.
finally returned to the tomb with a deep grievance Chu Renmei, because she found her own answer. She was killed by her husband, thinking that there is no sincere feelings in the world, and men do not have a good thing, but Wu Zhenyu convinced her of true love. That's why Chu Renmei was able to dissipate her grievances and stop harming others. "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" actually has obvious traces of borrowing from "Midnight Bell", especially the scene where the female ghost appears, and the special effects are not very good. After all, it is a movie of 99 years.
However, "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" samples Cantonese opera. The miserable and sad tone directly makes people uncomfortable. It adds a touch of treacherous and depressive atmosphere to the film, which directly raises the expression of the film to a level, and the thrilling atmosphere of the whole plot is contrasted. Extreme, makes people feel cold on the back. Especially in the whole movie, everyone's method of death is different. It can be considered as creative, not simply being scared and ending, let alone being inexplicably dead.
It may seem that "The Mountain Village Old Corpse" may be a rough movie, and the picture is not even as good as "Beijing No.81", but it is indeed a classic that cannot be surpassed by domestic horror films, and it is a milestone for masters. .
