The deep desire of the dream (the mirror of the story inside is a struggle of the dreamer, the mirror finally broken by his wife means being pulled back into the realm of reason by reality and the struggle between the puppet in the puppet show and the performer who gave him, A portrayal of no madness, no living, these two stories are relative) and fear (the struggle between different characters, the deep mutual struggle to the end, a struggle of all people against the dreamer to oppress the...

"Late Night", shot in 1945, is indeed a masterpiece. The film is composed of five separate supernatural stories about a man visiting a country house to attend a small party, and the guests at the meeting narrate the stories around them, thus forming a complete film. movie of. The five shorts and the side stories that run through them were shot by four directors: Buzz Dearden's full story and shorts "Hearse Driver" and Alberto Cavalcanti's "Christmas Party" "Christmas Party" and "The...

A feast of psychological suspense
First Story: The Death Vision of a Racer
Stories such as "Death is Coming" and "Arrival" are widely used, in science fiction films, in horror suspense films, in ghost films, in dreams...
Second Story: Encounter with the Ghost
This is more common, as far away as many strange novels in ancient my country, to many stories in Japan, to all kinds of modern horror films; encountering ghosts, all kinds of things happen, I thought they were normal people, but later I found out that...

It's a weird movie, a group of people hide in a dark room and tell ghost stories, but the atmosphere is different. The horror temperament of this movie is closer to Hitchcock. The paragraph-style plot, although completed by the four directors, has a very coherent atmosphere. What's more, a parody-style supernatural inserted in it is equally creepy. The best part is about the legend of ventriloquist, the puppet used in the film has become a model of British supernatural film and is used...

How many times will the fantasy become reality?
Buried Oedipus' fatalism: what we fear most is what we ourselves do not know we are going to do (or have done). What we fear in the face of the abyss is not the pure unknown abyss, but the illusion or precognition that we don’t know why we want or force to jump (as shown in the movie) In other words, maybe there is no precognition in the world , only the repeated reincarnation and repeated discovery of fate.
Or, it's all fantasy, and the prediction and the confirmation of it are...

The works of the 1940s seem to have nothing new in structure now, but they are complete and not convoluted. The plots are classic or old-fashioned, but they are still beautiful. Yan Kong is not interested in the first two stories, so it is a little boring, but the actors in the mirror are very good. Well, the golf ghost is very funny~ The puppet master is michael redgrave, what can I say~ I want two puppet...

A few short stories, some are very interesting, some are okay, but it was not until the end that the classic of this film was really shown~ I was shocked! It will be used in various future...

Pioneer of infinite loop, the main storyline consists of five independent short stories (103-minute version), similar to the look and feel of the old American drama "Yin and Yang Demon Realm". ps: The story of golf is a bit redundant and destroys the rhythm of the film. The last series of plots does not seem to see the elements of this story. Should the other length version be deleted? It feels more fluid this...

Schizophrenia, deadly dolls, evil spirits in the mirror, reincarnation of fate, secret rooms in another world, and even horror comedies, it is hard to imagine how many films the subject matter and narrative structure have influenced later generations. The escape scene of the protagonist at the end can be reminiscent of "Puppet Life", "Inception", "Red Pepper" and "Weima's House". I like the story of the funny golf brothers in...
Peter Cortland: Well, you know that mirror you gave me? You didn't get it at one of those joke shops, by any chance?
Joan Cortland: Of course not, why?
Peter Cortland: Well, when I was dressing this evening, just as I was tying my tie, I suddenly realized that the reflection was all wrong.
Joan Cortland: What do you mean, wrong?
Peter Cortland: It wasn't my room I was seeing; it was some other room.
Joan Cortland: Darling!
Peter Cortland: I told you it sounded silly. It only lasted for a moment, but I could have sworn I saw it. Some sort of optical illusion, I suppose.
Joan Cortland: [chuckles] All done with mirrors, in fact.
[Talking about their upcoming wedding:]
Joan Cortland: The cake's under control. Oh, and I've had a lot more answers. The Laughtons can't come, thank Heaven. And we've got some perfectly frightful presents. You know, darling, I really think we'll have to turn that spare room of ours into a Chamber of Horrors.
[Talking about the mirror:]
Peter Cortland: But in a queer sort of way, it fascinates me. I feel as though that room, the one in the mirror, were trying to... to claim me. To draw me into it. It almost becomes the real room, and my own bedroom imaginary.
[He takes a drag off his cigarette with a shaking hand]
Peter Cortland: And I know that there's something waiting for me on the other side of the mirror. Something evil. Monstrously evil. And if I cross that dividing line, something awful will happen.
