Four young people went to swim in the lake, and a black net in the water slowly approached...Three people were engulfed by living corrosion, and the last one swam to the shore with all his strength to escape the danger. I finally breathed a sigh of relief...Unexpectedly, the net that was chasing the shore suddenly jumped into the sky, pounced on the last survivor and dragged into the water...
This scene is deep in my mind 20 For more than a few years, even though I can't remember the specific age (eight or nine?) and the radio station (CCTV-6, guessed) at that time, the feeling of fear and shock at that time is still unforgettable.
Later, I searched for the name of this movie called "Ghost Show", a total of three; I saw it on TV when I was a child, and it was the second in this series.
The screenwriter of "Ghost Show" is Stephen King, a famous contemporary master of thriller novels. Many of his works have been adapted into movies. The most famous ones are "Shawshank's Redemption", "The Shining", "Ten Days of Crisis", "The Mist", etc. .
Stephen King is particularly good at creating horror plots. Each "Ghost Show" is composed of three or five horror stories. I will summarize each story and summary as follows -----
15 short stories, each with a complete plot. Some shoddy domestic ghost movies, together with a few handsome men and beautiful women, from time to time suddenly a ghost image, coupled with horrible background sound effects, thought it was a horror movie, and began to put on a small bench and sell tickets at the entrance of the cinema to collect money. It is an insult and blasphemy against horror films.
The horror movie that is truly worthy of being circulated to this day and even later generations is not as simple as imagined. It requires a powerful screenwriter and immersive scenes and shots. The purpose of horror films is nothing more than to scare the audience and make people scream. People love to watch horror movies like they love to ride a roller coaster, and they just want to experience the excitement of tension and fear, so that the pressure of the day can be released. So how does a good horror movie attract the audience?
1. Visual impact
2. Inner fear
3. Human thinking
4. There is no shortage of tenderness.
In "Ghost Show", the above points are perfectly interpreted and expressed.
1. Visual impact
"Father's Day", "Judy died alone", "They climbed on you", "Call girl", "Professor's wife"-zombies crawled out of the cemetery, covered with green grass, cockroaches crawled The whole body, the murderer used cruel methods to kill others, and the graceful figure of the girl was dismembered, which was naked and brought a huge impact to the audience from the most intuitive visual. To avoid discomfort, there is no picture here.
2. The inner fear is
"swallowed by the sea" --- What could be more terrifying than waiting for the arrival of death?
"Raft"---Going all out can hardly escape death.
"Hitchhiking" --- stealing love and killing someone, still having a chance to try to hide from the sky, avoid others, avoid the suffering and fear in your heart?
3. Human thinking about the
"box" --- is it the monster in the box or the human heart that is truly terrifying? People's hearts seem to be packed in boxes, and even if they get along day and night, they all have ghosts.
"Remote control" and "haunted hot dog" --- the protagonists in these two stories, one full of complaints and the other arrogant, are flawed in human nature. The final outcome of the two is that one becomes a rabbit and the other is entangled by a ghost.
"Radio"---The radio represents the greed of human nature. In order to satisfy one's selfish desires, a serious price is bound to be paid.
4. There is no shortage of warmth
"Old Wooden Chief"---The Chief is a sculpture at the door of the old man. The kind old man was killed by the bad guy, and the chief was resurrected to avenge the old man and kill the murderer. After that, the chief returned to the place where he stood before, still saying nothing, as if nothing had happened. The chief has the most upright figure and purest soul, which is awe-inspiring and touches all of us.
To sum up: Fear is a kind of human emotions, and fear is not necessarily a bad thing. Horror films can release inner stress and negative emotions by stimulating people's sensory nerves. So, there is nothing bad about horror movies, and you can exercise your guts.
Oh, by the way, it can also be used to fall in love.
