On the indispensable position of philosophical speculation in horror films

Creativity is the soul of horror movies, which determines whether the finished product is a garbage work that can only rely on bloody vision to stimulate the brain simply, or to give the audience complex stimulation, and use imagination to make up for the blank part of the movie. A truly awesome horror film knows the skill of two or two strokes, because the human imagination is an inexhaustible source of fear and many other emotions.
Regarding thinking and existence, Kant said, you never know the true appearance of the moon. Descartes said that I think, therefore I am. Master Huineng said that it is not the wind or the movement, the heart of the benevolent. But what is terrible is not agnosticism, but that everything we believe in is peaked overnight. When inherent cognition is uprooted, the sense of fear of being helpless can make people crazy.
The trembling black hole is undoubtedly a work of surrealism. It has subverted the traditional world view and reduced the human being who is the spirit of all things to a small existence, waiting for the founder to throw a sieve. And in the creative structure, it is like a chain. One is to set a certain bridge as a wormhole from the real world to the nightmare world. In another parallel space, monsters are the norm, just as in the human world, humans are the norm. The second is the infiniteness of people's imagination space, which can realize the free conversion of multi-dimensional space without being restricted by logic and common sense. Verifying its authenticity is like verifying whether it is similar to whether a chicken lays an egg or an egg lays a chicken. In the end, it will inevitably fall into an endless strange circle. The third is the description of the destiny of mankind falling into role-playing. Beyond the space of the earth, there is wisdom higher than that of mankind, which is similar to the omniscient and omnipotent God. Everyone's fate is just a role in his book. Humans have never had the right to choose, just like a pendulum of mechanical motion. To admit this is undoubtedly a great mockery of human wisdom.
A movie can be regarded as the originator of many types of horror movies, such as Death Illusion, Mulholland Road, Deadly ID, The Matrix. It is a kaleidoscope of thought, which allows the audience to show their own doorways with the subject and generate their own fears. Rather than today’s horror films, trapped in a commercial model that blindly competes with blood plasma and shows the cruel human nature, it has become fragments of fine-quality fragments.
