      high level horror movies

      1. The basic requirement of horror films is of course to be able to make the audience terrified, but to make the audience fear, it must not be as simple as showing off some blood and creating some scary mirror images. Horror films also need fine plots as support. Sadly, most of today's horror films not only fail to capture people reasonably in the plot, but also fail to be basically scary at all.

      2. Therefore, if we want to watch horror movies, we have to search for old movies from...

      In the Mouth of Madness

      A suspenseful horror film with an aftertaste in the story structure brings the audience into the dialectics of "real" and "virtual reality". Sam. Neal plays a private detective who is being tracked down by a publisher for a horror bestselling author who suddenly and mysteriously disappears, with some of the oddities of his work being able to drive readers crazy and cause a lot of irrational violence. The detective didn't believe the book was magical at first, but as he tracked down the...

      not bad movie

      Is the director John Carpenter? I didn't really pay attention when I saw it.
      The writer in the film is obviously alluding to Stephen King

      . There are several scenes that are very deep
      1) The heroine swallows the keytooth
      2) The bar owner raises a gun at the protagonist who just entered the door (MS watched it again in Resident Evil 2)
      3 ) The old lady of the hotel was standing at the counter and her husband was on the ground.

      It shouldn't be a very good...

      It feels like someone is setting up

      The protagonist is made by himself. When watching a movie, in fact, there are many places where you can manipulate the protagonist to drive the protagonist crazy and stay up all night to read the novel. Then set some hints in the novel, hypnotize the cover, and add your doubtful character. It is easier to set psychological traps to drive the protagonist crazy on the way to the town, stay up all night and drive the car at night, the temptation of road signs (refer to the ghost ladder of the...

      shudder black hole

      "Thriller Black Hole" is a horror film. Investigators from an insurance company search for a missing bestselling horror writer, only to find himself a part of the book, where reality and fiction are completely confused. There is a scene where the heroine walks on her waist, which is exactly the same as the little girl's spider walk in "The Archmage". The imitation is too heavy, and it seems that there is no other way to scare people. The director of the film was one of the top 10 horror films,...

      "A suspenseful horror film with an aftertaste in the structure of the story, bringing the audience into the dialectics of "real" and "virtual reality." It is similar to David Cronenberg's Videodrome. The difference is that Videodrome is due to Conan. Berg's style is more concrete, this film is more inclined to cognition, spirit,...
