      A chilling, slow mourning song

      "Bloodlight Ghost Killing Knife" is a horror film by Nicolas Roeg, director of "The Man Who Fell to Earth" (The Man Who Fell to Earth, 1976) starring David Boer. It is also one of the best horror films in the 1970s. . The beauty of the artistic conception and the depth of depression made by the film make it a slow lament that tells fate.

      "The Exorcist", "Jaws", "The Omen", and "The Wind and Wind" are all well-known masterpieces of horror film fans. This set of "Bloodlight Ghost...

      "Destroyed City" Venice

      I have never seen such a dilapidated Venice.
      In the hearts of many people and me, Venice is a wonderland and a sacred place. Almost all movies and novels (I've seen it) describe it as a holy land of love. Whether it's meeting, breaking up, or dying there, the city of water will always be the city of water, quietly looking at the ebb and flow of emotions and the impermanence of the world. Except this time.
      This time, Venice is a ghost.
      Human thinking is narrow and ridiculous. In...

      "Nothing Is What It Seems"

      In the fall of the previous year, I read the original short story "Don't Look Now" by Daphne Du Maurier (also the author of "Butterfly Dreams") and marveled at the perfect structure of the story, the looming plot, and the textbook-like Freud at the end The formula "the return of the repressed" (the return of the repressed). I still remember that when the results of the general elections were out that night, I was sitting in the brightly lit library with everyone, and looking at the computer...

      Poetic horror film

      A very poetic suspense movie with horror elements in it. The whole film is full of imagery and memorable, and its mysterious qualities are very attractive.

      Montage

      The beginning of the film is shocking, and it is rare that the beginning of the film is so impressive. Accompanied by a quiet and soothing piano, on a piece of heavenly and peaceful grassland, the two children are playing carefree. However, there is danger in it. The scene constantly changes between the outdoor grass...

      Died in Venice, the ghost of blood in the beautiful water city

      This article is reproduced from the public account: Frank's Movie World

      The film kicks off with the iconic sound of water, police sirens and bells in the water city. The little girl in red, Christine, pushes a cart and shuttles through the woods. The girl in red and the red ball floating on the water are even more interesting. Like a symbolic sign, the mother of the girl in red repeats repeatedly at the beginning, “The frozen water is not flat.” Along with...

      The whole story revolves around the brink of a serial murder case, with cold water cities, ghosts in red clothes, the steel ball of the center of gravity evenly distributed at the beginning and end of the horror, and the middle part is sore back, gritted teeth and dragged the suspense. By the end it was on fire. The lens language and suspense are really amazing, and the heat and cold are intertwined with enough stamina. Rolling-scene can also be...

      The director who was born as a photographer is naturally very attentive to the filming of the film, and the use of red is even more unique. With this touch of red, when he first overflowed, we should have guessed the final outcome. The use of several montages in the film is also very expressive, especially in the last part, everything is back to the...

      The storyline is actually very general, and I gave it four stars because of the excellent editing, and this kind of horror film mode is given quietly and quietly, which is rare. Looking back, I actually have a little fear of the dark night in...

      Long and boring, old-fashioned and bad clips. What's more serious is the more boring plot. That's not how literary thrillers are shot,...

      Lots of mystery and slow rhythm. The footage and editing are good. The streets and alleys of Venice, and the desolate ancient buildings give people a gloomy look. The suspense is dragged to the end. The big face of the blind woman and the ugly face of the old dwarf are scary enough, and the wife is holding the urn with chills. The "large-scale" sex scene in the 1970s, stripping and having sex and getting dressed and going out was cut into a superb parallel...

    Evaluation action

    "Don't Look Now" is not a scary horror film, but a suspense film. In the film, the director patiently uses symbols and symbols to construct a suspenseful case. The film's narration, soundtrack and editing techniques are unconventional. The title of the film may be sensational, but its inner artistry is real. Shooting Venice in the winter is a bit traumatic. The entire film uses a lot of flashbacks, which makes the film more dynamic in...

    • Bishop Barbarrigo: [while passing by a dilapidated church] The churches belong to God, but he doesn't seem to care about them.

    • Heather: One of the things I love about Venice, is that it's so safe for me to walk.

      John Baxter: Steps.

      Heather: Thank you... The sound changes, you see, as you come to a canal. And the echoes from the walls are so clear... My sister hates it.

      John Baxter: That's too bad.

      Heather: She says it's like a city in aspic, wrapped over from a dinner party, where all the guests are dead or gone.

    • Laura Baxter: Your bishop makes me feel strange.

      John Baxter: I imagine he makes God feel less than immaculate.
