Ghost Show is a special horror film. It is composed of five independent stories. In fact, five horror short films form a long story. The story is connected through comic book storytelling. George Romero and Stephen King Their respective talents are displayed in this movie. Although the movie is composed of five horror stories that are all related, it does not make the whole movie seem trivial and empty. The reference at the beginning and the end makes the movie more complete.
In the design of the storyline, I have to admire Stephen King’s skill. Although I am watching a movie, not the original novel, I can’t experience the horror atmosphere between the lines, but I can still imagine the wonderfulness of the original novel through the image. In movies, I always have the feeling of listening to people telling ghost stories. The five stories in the movie have different styles and features. They are not the same kind of ghost stories that are tiresome. They are full of horror, horror, and horror. Suspense, absurdity, humor and many other elements.
Story 1: Father’s Day, tells the story of an old father who was killed by his daughter and revenge on Father’s Day. Story one is one of the most distinctive of the five short stories. The absurd and funny elements in it make this horror movie. It’s very interesting. As the originator of the zombie film, George Romero makes this story easy. The scene of the old father suddenly crawling out of the cemetery in the film is reminiscent of his Night of the Living Dead. In the short film, this is a zombie. Therefore, the creation of this zombie is also very careful. This story maintains a very cheerful atmosphere from beginning to end. George Romero makes a good use of black humor, perfecting comedy and horror elements in a short 20-minute movie. The combination.
Story 2: Judy Valley died lonely. This story is not very exciting. The time is short and there is only one person performing. Judy, who lives in the Westfall, sees a meteorite falling from the sky, and he dreams of taking this piece. Meteorites go to university professors to exchange money, but unfortunately the logic of stupid people will not appear in horror movies. The mysterious liquid in this meteorite can make things that have been touched immediately grow green plants, so unfortunately Zhu Di soon turned into a green furry monster all over, and in desperation he had to commit suicide. The actors in this story performed very hard, turning the protagonist from excitement to disappointment to despair very well.
Story Three: The rising tide washes you away. There is a saying in Chinese martial arts novels that the way of the other is to be used for the other. It is just right to use these eight words to describe this movie. The movie also tells a story of revenge. , But different from the brisk atmosphere in the first story, the film always gives you a sense of tension, a deserted beach, a person is buried alive in the beach, the high tide of the sea constantly impacts the victims, the kind of despair waiting for death It will bring a strong sense of oppression to the audience, and the victims will turn into sea monsters (a bit like the shrimp soldiers and crabs in Pirates of the Caribbean 2) to come back for revenge and bring the murderer into hell by killing them.
Story 4: Box, the most exciting, thrilling, and ironic of the five stories. If the box expands him into a 100-minute feature film, it must be a good horror movie. The box always hangs the audience. People’s appetite keeps people wondering what is in the mysterious box in the basement. After the audience knows the answer, there will be more questions. How did the contents of the box come from? What will happen in the end, more than 20 minutes. The short film is a condensed essence of horror films. The horror, horror, and suspense are all created just right. More importantly, the comparison between one person and one beast is actually a satire of the human heart. It seems to tell the audience that the scariest monster in the world is not a monster. It's a human being. No matter how poisonous the animal heart is, it only hurts those who invade its territory, and the human heart is far more vicious than the animal heart.
Story 5: They crawled on you. Speaking of Story 5, I have to say that after reading Story 5, I didn’t sleep well all night. I have always been conceited that I can watch horror movies and I am never afraid of American bloody horror movies. It seems that there is no response, what chainsaws are scared, and the human skin inn is full of clouds in my eyes. The violent scenes such as cutting arms, cutting legs, and breaking a belly have long been used to be familiar, but the degree of disgust in this film does make me feel sick. It’s a bit unbearable, how can I describe it, countless cockroaches, crawling all over a person’s body, crawling into the mouth, stomach, and finally crawling out from the nostrils, mouth, and eyes. I don’t have to be nauseated. Besides, after reading it, I really felt a little discomfort in my stomach, and even felt nauseous. In fact, story 5 is also a satirical story. The cockroach killed it.
Throughout the five stories in the movie, each is wonderful and has its own characteristics. On the one hand, you can marvel at Stephen King’s talent and you can write such a story. On the other hand, you also admire George Romero’s control of different types of horror movies. Ability, I used to think that George Romero would only make zombie movies. In today’s zombies in Hollywood, Romero’s zombie movies in recent years have become more and more mindless. Looking back at his early years. works, is really amazing, the story of each piece of the film have adopted a short animated story leads back before the start of the film, as his name SHOW gives a feeling of terror are two masters of their talent SHOW
near Few years of horror movies have such great works. Nowadays, how many people regard the horror movies like Grim Reaper and Chainsaw Horror as gods. Come and see this ghost show when you have time. What is it? In a real horror film, George Romero and Stephen King used this work to give us the answer.
