Every summer, horror films will be released one after another, giving the audience a feeling of "coolness behind the back".
is no exception this summer, and Taiwanese horror film has launched another blockbuster "First Seven".
As we all know, in folklore, the soul will return home on the seventh day after death.
This film is based on funeral culture and rooted in this folklore, which is very interesting.
Today, let's start with "The First Seven" -
starring SHE's Ren Jiaxuan , Natto and Chen Yiwen .
【01】 This is the story of a single mother, Xiaoxuan quarreled with her family because she was pregnant out of wedlock. Finally, she decided to leave the home.
But the daughter she gave birth suffered from severe kidney disease. Until the money was raised to cure the disease, the child could only rely on medicine to maintain her body.
So these years, Xiaoxuan took her daughter and worked three jobs at the same time, and her life was very hard.
One night, Xiao Xuan received a call from her uncle at home, saying that her grandpa had passed away.
Although the relationship with her family is in dire straits, Xiaoxuan thinks that Grandpa treats her very well.
So, she decided to take her daughter home to keep the grandpa's spirit.
After so many years, Xiao Xuan returned home with mixed feelings, an indescribable feeling.
but the family doesn't seem to think so. After seeing their parents and uncle's family again, they were not as enthusiastic as they imagined, and there was no tearful hug scene.
's father was still very repulsive to her cold-faced expression, saying that the family did not welcome her, and even told her to leave quickly.
It has been so many years, but the family is still complaining about him, which makes Xiao Xuan feel very uncomfortable.
But in any case, Xiaoxuan must keep watch for Grandpa. According to folklore, it is not until Grandpa's first seven that he can completely send away the old man.
In the evening, Xiao Xuan returned to her previous house, but this time, many strange things happened in it.
While Xiaoxuan was experiencing supernatural events, her daughter also discovered some strange things on the other side, and she heard some inexplicable sounds.
She looked for the source of the sound, and saw a pair of weird feet from under the bed, and then she was bitten again.
So she called her mother to see, but when Xiaoxuan came, she found nothing.
As night falls, more strange things follow.
The figure covered by the cloth, the ghost in the kitchen, and the corpse that was hanged in the wild...
Suddenly, Xiao Xuan woke up and realized that everything was just a dream.
The next day, Xiaoxuan told her uncle, not only did he not care, he even found it funny, but as the first seven got closer, the old house of the Li family became more and more uneasy, and Xiaoxuan gradually dug out Some untold family truths. The initiator of everything
is that man.......
[02] This is actually a story of revenge.
Xiaoxuan's uncle is actually the child born by the wife. He was not liked or seen by others when he was born.
So he planted the seeds of revenge in his heart, became dark, and even learned witchcraft.
actually started from the call to tell Grandpa Xiaoxuan that he passed away, it was the circle he set up.Just a set. Uncle
had already killed all of Xiaoxuan's family and buried the body in the woods behind the old house.
And the family that Xiaoxuan saw at home were actually ghosts manipulated by spells.
(white screen protection)
They can't tell the truth and tell Xiaoxuan that she has been killed, so they can only use insults to remind Xiaoxuan, or tell her to retreat and leave here quickly.
However, when she realized all this, Xiao Xuan was not far from danger.
But with the protection of her family, Xiaoxuan was not hurt very much.
's father and the people's souls fought desperately to protect Xiaoxuan from being hanged, but the uncle was already mad.
While Xiaoxuan is in danger, her daughter is going through the same thing as her. It turned out that in the grandpa's mourning hall, there was a Taoist who was in sympathy with his uncle, and he was also preparing to attack Xiaoxuan's daughter.
At this moment, the bell rang at 12 o'clock, and Grandpa "come back".
The soul of the grandpa who returned from the first seven appeared, and in order to protect the mother and son and the uncle, a "human-ghost war" was launched.
This is part of the plot of the movie "The First Seven",
can be said to be a relatively rare horror film in recent years, which is really "ghostly".
's setting of Xiaoxuan's mother and daughter in the film is also the superstition's supernatural constitution, and it is easy to see unclean things.
However, the first half of the movie is too startling and scary, weakening the horror of the first seven itself.
is a horror movie with family and family as the theme. Although the plot is a little old-fashioned, it is very similar to the plot of many Taiwan horror movies, but the reversal plot in the second half is still very surprising.
Compared with "Curse", although "The First Seven" is also based on family affection, the story told is more gentle and the plot is more ups and downs. Generally speaking,
is a real ghost movie with strong visibility and good order. If you are interested in
, go and see for yourself, maybe you will have a different experience.
