"Scream" is the master of the horror movie's must-death theorem. This kind of magic movie, which can only be made up by fans who truly love horror movies, is also a milestone in horror movies. It summarizes many horror movies of the predecessors Movie routines, such as saying "I'll be back" (also applicable to cartoons, whoever said this will definitely be thrown off, refer to "Digimon" or "Xiyangyang") or ask "who is there" The most important thing is that the person who has sex is also dead, which is more interesting. The European and American horror films after the 1990s have tried and tested this idea. There is an episode of "Deadly Bend" that has a benchmark inserted into it. On the hands of salty pigs who are busy (you know), the pictures are so beautiful that minors must take precautions. It is a powerful medicine for both the characters in the play and the audience to make a black hand at the most unprepared moment.
Horror movies of the 1970s will still have a mood
The sacrificial scene in "The Evil Twins" is full of gothic taste and beauty, and the exquisite body on the bed is still worth a glimpse
But from my horror movie viewing experience, the rules summarized in "Scream" are basically only applicable to horror movies in the 1980s. The erotic elements in the previous movies can no longer satisfy the increasingly open people. The needs of the hippies and the emancipation of sexual liberation slowly melted away the hidden sense of shame, and the audience was mostly male or open-minded women, so the girls on the screen changed from sexual fantasies to bikinis. From breast porn jokes to tasting the forbidden fruit and not having a few sex scenes, it is not considered a qualified B-grade film, and the idea of sexual freedom and healthy sexual relations has gradually become mainstream culture. The use of eroticism and violence not only satisfies fantasy young people, but also liberates the toiling masses who work hard, and spends the least money to get the most pleasure, why not do it.
The final dew point of "Blood Death Camp" in 1983 reversed the plot of the whole film, and was later borrowed by a horror film in Thailand.
The heroine of 1981 was not satisfied with the boy's performance, and the summer camp was almost ruined by horror film directors.
As for the European and American horror films before the 1980s, people on the street would still see the appearance of a girl with a skirt that was too short, and they would still "brow cold to the hands, bow their heads and hate no shoelaces" (Italian "Torso" 1973), immortal The vampire seems to be only interested in viewing nightdresses and jade necks (British "Evil Twins" 1971), two girls kiss with blurring (Spain "The Devil's Nest" 1971), the uncle controls Lolita and only dares to be in the cold. A kiss in a human environment (West Germany, "Breaking the Blind at Night" 1968), girls who have personality fantasies and have to bear various moral burdens and torture themselves (Polish "Cold Blood" 1965), no matter how old they are, they can only Making a fuss about career arrangements and talking about the murder of prostitutes (Italy "Black Sabbath" 1963), the godfather of the American plasma horror film Herschel Gordon Lewis is just changing the career to a more interesting dancer (The American "Blood Clot and Blood Clot Girl" 1972, you must know that he did not dare to take off the heroine's clothes when he was going to hold a sacrifice in "Blood Banquet" in 1963), if it is pushed forward, it is even more tragic. The vampire in Sferatu ignited spontaneously in the sun without even kissing.
It is nothing more than trying to justify the name of the horror film. It is not a type of film that challenges people's psychological and physical limits with moaning, dew points, and sex as necessary embellishments from the beginning. The production is very forthcoming. For example, "Dr. Caligari's Cabin" is more talked about by its scene layout and symbolic meaning, and "The Birth of Clay Figurine" explores theology in the name of horror, "Faceless". The Eye" is to answer the scientific ethics debate and so on in the brutal murder. Before a hundred schools of thought contended that the three heroes were at the top of each other, when people used film themes, they still showed their ideas more than their forms.
"Mysterious Follow" can be said to have taken a summary from "Scream" to lay the foundation for the whole film, that is, the theory that sex is mortal, which also reminds me of a "Yin Teeth" many years ago. There are such miraculous means of killing men, but the lethal weapons in this film will bite the master twice like an unfamiliar husky. During the viewing process, I had two assumptions about the ending of the film: 1) The heroine followed the source to investigate the murderer’s life experience and help him get revenge to get rid of the curse (it should be that the ghost was a virgin but was raped, so she wanted to Kill the bastard, and the person who had sex with the bastard, and the person who had sex with the bastard... and so on, it's the unlucky heroine's turn) ;2) They find a way to break the curse from books or psychic witches, which belongs to the use of violence against violence. In my imagination, the ghost must be able to find the source and be eliminated, but the ending of the film greatly exceeded my expectations. It just makes fear go hand in hand to force people into submission or uneasiness, seeking good medicine to heal themselves in the crack of moral condemnation and ruthless self-preservation.
Several scenes of the heroine's appearance in the swimming pool are worth noting: she looked at the squirrel crawling over the wire, which should be to show the kind and life-loving side of the heroine's character, so when she was initially haunted by ghosts She didn't want to use sex to harm people, but as soon as the camera turned around, an insect crawled on her arm, she immediately dipped her hand in the water, and the small insect disappeared in the swimming pool that was like an ocean for it. But in contrast to her exhaustion and fear of chasing ghosts later, she chose a destroyable object at will. In fact, the good and evil in human nature have long been shown in these simple shots. Selfishness cannot be judged. In a good enough environment, people are willing to follow the good. In a dirty swimming pool, it is inevitable that disgusting bugs will try to occupy the land and become king. One mountain can't hold two tigers and monkeys. How can you be the king? This competition is inevitable if you don't kill me, I'll kill you .
The most successful victim of the counterattack in "Breaking the Blind Every Night"
The atmosphere of the film is very good, and the anxiety of the unknown evil ghosts appearing slowly and slowly approaching people is still very strong. I remember many years ago there was a funny horror short film "The Spoon Killer" about a murderer who chased and killed a man with a spoon for no reason. His loyalty was even stronger than that of his childhood sweetheart who got a marriage certificate and gave eachother's love. More, he doesn't care about the old, sick, the poor, the rich, and so wholeheartedly chases the unlucky man, and keeps beating him with a spoon. The evil ghost in this film is as sticky as the spoon killer. The important thing is that it imitates the slow speed of the early zombies and the attack strength of the late zombies. It can change its face and shrink its bones. It's a lot of fun to be an enemy.
Evil ghosts are chasing murderers, and people with curses are looking for ghosts to kill. Who is more vicious can no longer be compared. The director used Dostoyevsky's "Idiot" at the end of his intentions: "torture will produce pain and scars. , know that the worst pain may not be in the wound, but when you know for sure that in an hour, then a minute, then half a minute, and then in an instant, your soul leaves the body, you Will no longer be human, which is unquestionably the worst. The male and female protagonists in white look for their targets like evil spirits in white every time they appear, and they finally turn from victims into real executioners.
Finally, I have a question: Why did the ghost even catch the heroine at the beach, why waste time playing that hair-pulling act? Didn't the man say that he couldn't be touched by ghosts?
