I always feel that any kind of film must be made from the beginning, and if a horror film is to be made, the primary purpose is to create the most terrifying effect. If the audience wants to watch touching emotional dramas, there are hundreds of movies about love, family and friendship. Therefore, in my mind, a good horror film should end with a climax, or a small climax after the climax, that is to say, to give the audience a lingering feeling of horror, a good ending is the most important thing. Save the most lingering horror feelings for last. For example, at the end of Midnight Bell, "Pass on the video, Sadako's curse will get bigger and bigger", and the woman at the end of the ghost will always ride on the male protagonist's neck, all of which belong to the fact that there is still a little time after the climax. The climax, the realization that terror does not end there, but begins.
In this regard, Hong Kong is not very good. For example, at the end of the old corpse in the mountain village, Chu Renmei was finally moved by the love between the male and female protagonists. But this is just a brief explanation - the hero and heroine are not dead, which is acceptable.
After watching this movie, many people were moved to tears, moved by the affection between the mother and son. This made me laugh and cry, and the director added the sentence "The power to support this child to become a ghost and not dissipate in the world is not hate, but love", the horror atmosphere that was finally created before is completely gone. I'm not saying that I'm happy if everyone is dead, but someone like me who's ready to watch a horror movie and buy this disc will feel like it's not worth it.
Maybe this is a kind of ending that caters to the masses, after all, people like to be happy. But trying to have both sides has often yielded mixed results. I agree with Guo Degang's point of view: cross talk is used to entertain the public, not to educate people. If cross talk is to educate people, why should the Education Bureau go? Similarly, horror movies are meant to scare people, not to make people cry. If you want to be moved, go make Titanic.
