Regardless of the professional point of view, I personally like watching Korean horror movies.
why? The reason is simple: I have a good face, please forgive me for being superficial...
Recently, with my friend Amway, with the risk of being late for work the next day, I quietly watched Kunchi Rock in the bed most of the night, and today I will talk about this pseudo-documentary.
Many film critics will look at the ratings from various platforms, with a responsible attitude, and provide you with a reference:
um... The low score is pitiful.
However, this movie has recently caused a lot of controversy on the Internet. Some people think it is very scary, and some people think that the level is too low. Let's discuss it together.
CNN travel voted for the seven most terrifying places in the world. The Kunjiam Mental Hospital in South Korea ranked first. Like finding onepiece, countless explorers came here to explore (zuò) insurance (sǐ), a live webcast for To increase popularity and make a lot of money, seven people including the program staff were organized to enter the place for live expeditions. In the end, the scene got out of control and did not die. The whole movie is about 90 minutes, and it takes nearly two-thirds of the space to set the stage. In fact, it doesn’t say too much important information. The atmosphere of eating, drinking and playing is lively. The turning point starts from the sudden ignition of the base camp stove, and then the rhythm becomes more and more. Soon, everything that "should" happened has happened, and it ended in a hurry, leaving a live broadcast with 503 viewers...
It's so simple, it seems really boring...
In fact, it depends on how you understand it. There are certain reasons why this low-cost film can arouse everyone’s enthusiasm. First of all, the shooting method of the pseudo-documentary does not have any surprises and weird background music rendering. The shaking is unstable, although the audience's eyes are a bit uncomfortable, but it enhances the realism of the film.
Secondly, we can learn a few points from the previous foreshadowing-the missing female dean and the murdered mental patient in the mental hospital, certain political figures, various small details seen in each room, contact the back Everyone's methods of death and the appearance of ghosts are worthy of scrutiny slowly.
Give a few cases of divergent thinking:
1. Room 402
Does Room 402, which have not been opened for a long time, need to be opened in another way? If you want to satisfy your curiosity, you must use your life as the key. The final result is to enter room 402 through various methods of death?
2. Live broadcast background
This is a detail worthy of attention.
Carefully observe the changes in the number of onlookers. At first, the screen flashed, and it could be vaguely seen that the number of onlookers was 330,000. The two younger brothers negotiated with He Jun and asked for an increase in the share. When he didn’t agree, he glanced at it. Glancing at the screen, the number of onlookers soared to 700,000, and He Jun gritted his teeth and agreed.
When the situation was already quite pessimistic, He Jun, who was not a believer in evil, glanced at the number of 990,000, which was only a little bit close to breaking through 1 million. The white silver seemed to be beckoning to him, so he gritted his teeth and set out in person.
Have you ever encountered a live broadcast that can soar hundreds of thousands of onlookers in a few seconds? Then after the power outage is restored, has the live broadcast backstage been controlled by something and used it to induce Ha Jun to make a decision?
And the last 503 people made people doubt the previous data. Perhaps from the beginning, those hundreds of thousands of figures were fake in themselves!
3. What happened to Charlotte
Obviously he had escaped, but he encountered a ghost hitting the wall. In the end, Zhixian was upper body, and he returned to a certain room with a blink of an eye. He encountered a strange streaking ghost. When he took a closer look, it seemed that his chest had been cut open. It's like a corpse used for experimentation, and this is the only ghost image given in the whole film. Where does this person come from? I guess it has something to do with the bald man and the mysterious puppet mentioned earlier.
Here are a few good nodes:
1. The group of people saw a strange cabinet with a hole in the chest. Shengxu curiously put his hand in, but was dragged, but the others were dubious, so Jixian put his hand in it instead. When she felt that she was falsifying, she was also dragged, and finally the arm was pulled out and she was scarred. From here on, some people are about to collapse, and the team is divided.
2. The words on the wall, living become suicide, not dead. If there is no problem with the translation, it may be related to the team’s experience. I won’t dig deep here. It can be understood that, in fact, they have been warned. It has passed, but they chose to "death" (such as a soul-calling ritual), and it was they who killed themselves. This is an old routine, but it appeared at the right time and brought good results.
3. After finally "escaping", the white panties appeared persistently. At this time, Ji Hyun was upper body and sent a b-box to Charlotte, who was in shock. When I watched this paragraph, I was inexplicably I laughed out loud, but I think this paragraph is very innovative.
Finally, mention a few uncomfortable points:
1. Rhythm
The first half of the plot is necessary, but it is not interesting enough to arouse the curiosity of the audience. When watching movie reviews, some netizens suggested that the previous part was fast-forwarded in a few seconds, indicating that the plot here is It was relatively procrastinated, and everything came like a storm in the next half an hour, and everyone's death was described in two words-rush, this kind of rhythm makes people feel inexplicable.
2. Emotions
This is a pure complaint. As a fan of horror places, Charlotte has been to other places on the rankings before. At the beginning, he could laugh when teaming up with Ji Hyun. I thought it would be a big sister, but I met In an emergency, she was the first to break her mentality. Yayan, who had been weak and weak, was calmer than she imagined; the captain’s personality also changed a bit faster, and her mood was extremely unstable in the later period. Be stunned by the money.
I don't know what to do
3. Old routines
In the base camp, there was a sudden wind behind Ha Jun, a sudden fire and so on. The camera was like deliberately arranged, um...it was indeed arranged; when preparing to enter the destination, a group of people picked up white underwear on the road and tied them to Trees are used as road signs. People who watch a lot of horror movies will generally have a hunch that they will escape and encounter "ghosts hit the wall". You guessed it!
After all, I didn't read it in great detail, and avoid over-interpretation, probably analyze so much!
For such low-cost movies, plus new actors with no well-known names, there is no need for high-demand horror movie lovers to watch. The upper limit is there and it is impossible to bring you many surprises, but for many ordinary audiences , This movie has met the basic recreational needs.
Finally, I offer a wave of big nostrils, thank you for your patience to finish it~
