      Under the shell of a brainless cult, the greater significance of this film is to cover the war narrative that Obayashi Xuanyan has not given up for decades. hhh

      After watching the films after Obayashi Xuanyan, you can see some references in this age-old cult. .

      The cheapness and inferiority of special effects have never been something that Dalin Xuanyan cared about. After all, he didn't improve much when it came to "Flower Basket" hhh. And to be honest, this is not the pot of the age. At the same time, Shuji Terayama's weirdness and mystery was presented with the most exquisite pictures, not to mention the "Gloomy Wind" in Europe and the...

      Ghosts of 1977

      After the film ended, what stuck in my mind was the scene where the heroine showed her dew point. That scene came out just right, like drinking an iced Coke after a football game, like descending from a high-speed roller coaster to soft grass, reminding me of Miike's handling of Visitor Q at the end.
            That scene was really beautiful, and so was the heroine. But one of the downsides of watching old movies is that you can't like the actors in them because they're either old wives or...

      very hilarious movie

      The story of 7 girls who went to the countryside and were eaten by a ghost aunt.
      I feel that the style of the film is very special, but maybe I have seen too few old movies. The head fished from the well bit the girl's butt; the bed sheet and pillow became a puppet; the person was churned into blood in the wall clock; she was put on her body while applying makeup; she was pinched to death by the piano; Drowning in blood; being hanged by a chandelier; Fanta's ending is left to our...

      The strange chicken movie that you can't put it down

      It's hard to judge what kind of movie this is, "Lightning's Cat's Eye", "Round Egg and Watermelon", "The Head Biting the Ass", "The Girl Eaten by the Piano", "The Skeleton Dancing to the Music", "Blood Water Left Unintentionally" and "The house that suddenly swelled" and so on
      confuses various movie elements, experiments, animations, advertisements, thrillers, pornography, warmth, blood, etc. . . . It can be said to be inclusive of all things, boiled into a pot of strange porridge. I...

      So many beauties, not scary at all

      Damn it, Japanese movies in 1977 are so pretty! At that time, the Cultural Revolution had just ended in China. The balcony scene at the beginning is so dreamy. Mu Ku (played by Jishang Ji)'s father's girlfriend, the daughter who will be her stepmother (played by Haruko Alligator) is a Japanese-Australian half-race, so beautiful. In addition, most of the 7 girls are very beautiful, and their youthful bodies make people very excited. Especially the girl in panties who knows how to kongfu (played...

      A movie that will change your impression of the entire Japanese film industry after watching it. The women are extremely beautiful, but it's a pity that Jishang Jiji disappeared after the 1980s. This is definitely a weird chicken movie. The success is not in the story at all, but in the high level of techniques such as freeze-frame, focus, advertising, drama, singing and dancing, etc. Density mix. Classic places such as piano cannibals, human-headed frogs, playing with small balls, human fire,...

      Very distinctive, sometimes hilarious, but I feel that the creativity is not dense enough, and it seems procrastination. It should belong to the category of cult. Got a lot of visual effects, and now it seems like a...

      There are Miura Yuka~ and the house integrated into one, a bit like a box of sprites. And the picture reminds me of that . The special effects decades ago have produced unexpected effects, and many clip art-like body parts are in In the well, the piano swam up and down, not feeling scary, but rather...

      Cult films, directed by a hodgepodge of various elements, should be very pioneering and epoch-making at the time. Unlike Japanese films, which feature color tones, they are very Western. Following the soundtrack, there are some scenes that should be scary but not scary at all. Ha, it looks like a prank, but it suits me quite well. It's too scary and can't hurt. Uh, Jishang Ji is so beautiful. Also...
