This be careful, horror film fans are waiting eagerly.
When it was released in South Korea, it was so coquettish, and the number of movie viewers even surpassed that of "Top Player."
"Konchiam" is known as the scariest movie in Korea in the past ten years .
There was a "popcorn rain" during the show, and the audience was so frightened that they threw away the popcorn in their hands.
The horror is not popcorn, but someone dusts the popcorn for you——
"The person in the back seat sprinkled some popcorn on me. That's fine. He seems to be very sorry, and he reached out to help me wipe the popcorn on the side of my neck. I will be scared to pee!"
And those who have been scared to pee--
"Actually, it's not that scary. This film is too hyped... But it's quite strange. After watching the movie, when I came out, my pants got wet."
And the name is the same as the protagonist, who intuitively feels the call of death——
"Do you know that there is a girl in the same mood as my Korean name? Feel that they are calling me (death) at any time."
Kunchiyan is an abandoned mental hospital.
In the film, it was selected by the US News Network as the top seven creepy forbidden places in the world and the top three haunted houses in Korea.
The scene of the hospital where the male protagonist went to search in the first episode of "Signal" was taken here.
Legend has it that during World War II, Japanese troops slaughtered Koreans.
In order to cover up a large number of bones, a mental hospital was built on it.
But in fact, it is still a place for secret torture of the state.
Later, 42 patients committed suicide collectively. The whereabouts of the director is unknown. The hospital closed down and was abandoned.
The rumors of ghosts in Kunjiayan are because someone later went missing or went crazy after exploring one of the rooms called 402 .
402 Forbidden Land has since become famous in the terrorist circle.
Watching ghost movies is to have a group of young people who will not die if they don’t do it, take us to die.
Seven young people decided to go to Kunjiayan for a horror live show for high profits .
The male captain stayed in the tent for live broadcast, and six players entered the hospital.
Young man, the idea is very promising.
The film adopts the technique of pseudo-recording + live broadcast , which makes the audience's sense of substitution close to VR.
The director dared to tie a variety of cameras such as GoPro, camcorders, VR, and drones to the actors, allowing them to complete almost all shots by themselves.
Although the form of the pseudo-record upgrades the terror coefficient, it also means giving up the in-depth depiction of the picture and the story.
Therefore, the focus of "Kunchi Rock" is not on the restoration and excavation of history. It is the same as a general pseudo documentary, which is purely frightening.
Lost the most important bgm props in the ghost film, the false record even tests the skill.
There are spoilers in the following parts, you can move directly to the dividing line to continue reading
At the beginning of the film, the scary tactics are all routine.
For example, the door suddenly closed by itself, the candle was blown out by the yin wind, and the bell rang.
But as the spirit descending ritual proceeded, it seemed that supernatural powers were also attracted.
Subsequent supernatural events continued to occur.
When I came here, the "live" written on the wall had become "suicide" .
The team members died and injured, and the ghosts of Kunjiayan triumphed.
There are two scenes in the film where ghosts are the most brilliant.
In one place, a girl was possessed by a ghost and stood motionless. The team slowly walked over. She suddenly turned around, with a big face covering the entire scene.
The girl brought an all-black cosmetic contact lens, her eyes disappeared, and she also came to the camera with a bbox.
Frightened his teammates to run away.
Although many people say that they were scared to cry by this cosmetic contact lens ghost, she is actually quite cute after a long time.
There is also a streaking ghost , especially naughty.
The teammate who was scared away in front was so scared that he wanted to go home, but was blocked by this ghost.
It stood there barely, didn't scream, and didn't immediately act to make people die happy.
While looking for an exit, the teammates were shining at it with a flashlight. If they didn't move it, they wouldn't move. If they moved, it would move with it.
Hey, you thought you were playing with one, two or three wooden people, the girls were scared to death by you!
Although the film has no content, it is simply to scare people, but behind its intuitive horror, there is also a luxurious package that allows people to chew after watching it.
For example, when the captain is in the tent, he suddenly finds all six teammates appearing in the camera. Who is shooting this angle of view?
Another girl wanted to escape from the hospital and return to the tent. She ran outside among the trees, saw the marks they made when they came, and saw the tent, but when she lowered her head, she found that she was still in the hospital.
Can't get out of Kunchi Rock.
The panic and despair that couldn't escape hit instantly.
Thinking more carefully, it is extremely frightening that when the entire team is wiped out, the captain watched the live broadcast and was about to reach the target number of 1 million. He was desperate for money and he resolutely went forward to give away another head.
But at this time, the number of people on the live broadcast screen is not one million, only a few hundred people.
The netizens in the barrage are complaining, and the live broadcast has ended long ago. This is all because of their fraud, which is boring.
Netizens knew that they were cheating, and that was the beginning. It turns out that the real haunts that happened later were not broadcast live!
That means that the barrage that the captain saw was full of screens, and the number of people surged to one million, which was all an illusion.
In the real world, the number of live broadcasts increased to 100,000, and netizens discovered that they were fraudulent, and the number fell to a few hundred.
In the captain’s illusion, the number has grown from 100,000 to one million.
These are all private experience packages customized by the ghost of Kunjiayan, you ghosts are too naughty!
The captain thought he was always in the tent, but in fact he had already "entered" the 402 forbidden area!
The death of the captain also echoed with the dean who had been missing.
The rumor is that the dean killed the patient for profit, and so did the captain. For the sake of money, he did not hesitate to encourage his teammates to die, and he also died.
Both of them died of greed, and they hanged themselves in the same way.
Don't invade other people's world, greed will make people fall into the abyss without knowing it.
"Kunchi Rock" is a small fight, after the European and American horror films swept from behind, it finally brought back a round for Asian horror films.
It is a pity that "The Evil", which has been hailed as the best domestic horror film in the past decade, has a similar pattern to it, all with a small cost, and both are released in the same period.
But the two have different fate.
"The Evil" could have been released on Ching Ming Festival, but due to the film's superstition propaganda, it was urgently stopped and withdrawn.
Although Kunjiayan is suspected of over-promotion, at least he still photographed the supernatural phenomenon and was able to meet the audience on the big screen.
Nothing is greater than there.
And our domestically produced horror films don’t even have a chance to fight head-on.
This is more terrifying than having ghosts.
