Terror is the skin, bitterness is the nucleus

I've never figured out why there are institutions like girls' schools in this world that lock a group of girls together to learn scientific and cultural knowledge, religious etiquette and civilization, etc. What are the advantages over co-educational schools? And a group of people of the same gender always look up and see each other, and it is logically inevitable to have deep friendship and even ambiguous feelings between the same sex. School has always been a favorite place for horror films, and the Korean series of horror films "The Strange Story of Women's Highness" series It makes horror incidents happen frequently in the girls' high school. Adding in the complex emotions between the girls, it can be regarded as a horror series with quite a characteristic for the audience. Asian horror films have never been about direct horror, but this series is not too scary, and at the same time, it has no aftertaste, and the routine is cliché, but with its distinctive style, it can be shot from 1998 to 2009, and 5 films in a row can be considered. Interesting phenomenon.

The investment is small, the threshold is low, and it is easy to form a fixed audience. This is a major feature of horror movies. No matter how much money you have, you can pull up a team to make a plasma horror movie with some inferior cosmetics and expired tomatoes, or just take a handheld A camera that makes a person twitch and shout in dim light can also make an atmospheric horror film. But to put it this way, the sea of ​​horror films that emerge in the world every year is gone, but few can be remembered, and even less are paid to watch. One of the advantages of the "Women's High Strange Story" series is that it still maintains a correct shooting attitude in general, and the basic quality of the film is guaranteed, so in general, the quality of this series is very stable, stable and even mediocre. But thinking about at least every episode has beautiful girls to watch, it's still worth watching. Another feature of the "Women's High Strange Story" series is that this series can be regarded as a "training camp" for rookie directors. All five films are the debut feature films of the corresponding directors. As a series of horror films, the selection of directors will not be sloppy. , the selected director must also be a bit of a rookie team, and he has such an opportunity, as a newcomer, I am afraid that he will cherish it even more. However, this may also restrict the breakthrough of this series. From the first part, the style and genes of this series have been established, and as a more commercial horror film, the space for newcomers to play is relatively limited, so we can't count on it. They can play with their personality and come up with a Cult-flavored horror movie.

When it comes to the style of the "Women's High School Weird Talk" system, it is actually a presentation of redemption and emotion, shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere, with the deep friendship between classmates and sisters as the emotional point. The unrepentant ghost is the favorite protagonist of horror movies, and Asian horror movies especially have a special liking for such stories. The "Women's High Strange Talk" series is a story of ghosts walking around the campus. s story.

"Death Classroom" kicked off the series, which is full of reincarnation and fate, and also set the tone for the series. In the school in the film, the teacher hangs strangely from a tree, and then bizarre incidents continue to occur. Eun Young, who returned to the school to teach after nine years, gradually discovered that she had formed a deep friendship with her in this school and died unexpectedly. The pearls did not actually leave. In this film, the main line of reality is full of weird atmosphere, bloody and chilling, and Eun Young opens up her memories in the process, an ambiguous and painful friendship is gradually aroused, and the obstacles and resentments in it are also presented layer by layer, and finally , the intersection of the two clues, aroused the climax of the film. Overall, the two-line interweaving flashbacks in this film are handled properly, creating a good atmosphere, and the final warmth is also very powerful, but the handling of the horror section is too bland, and the logic is even more inexplicable, which affects the overall quality. .

"Exchange Diary" embodies the theme of betrayal, the breath of life is stronger, and the taste of Les is more direct. I see the mutual love between the two girls, the pianist and the track and field athlete. However, in the rumors, the track and field athletes finally decided to cut off the relationship, which triggered the suicide of the pianist. This is the most tender in the entire series. The girl who is good at piano longs to be understood and accepted, until the resentment of love is expressed in the film. It's just that since it is positioned as a horror film, is it a bit off topic to create a warm, rather than a thriller atmosphere?

"Fox Ladder" embodies the theme of jealousy. In this series, it is also the biggest attempt to portray human nature, while adding the theme of psychological thriller. Zhensheng and Xiaoxi were good friends, and they also liked dancing, but as one of them became better and more attractive, the friendship became unbalanced and their mentality was distorted. In the end, under the direct temptation of fame and fortune such as the ballet competition, the legendary energy in the campus became more and more popular. The "Fox Fairy" who fulfilled the wish came in handy. The sense of horror and enjoyment of this film is outstanding in this series. The revealing of the dark side of human nature is very straightforward, the intrigue on campus is cruel, and the strangeness of the ballad of the fox ladder makes the film more catchy.

"The Voice" embodies the theme of trust, and is the bloodiest and most terrifying in the series. At the beginning of the story, it is still the same model feature of this series: Youngwon and Sunmin are a pair of good friends, but Youngwon suddenly disappeared, but Sunmin could hear her voice, so Sunmin went to find her under the guidance of Youngwon The murderer who killed Young-won. Since this film focuses on sound, it is natural to make a fuss about sound effects, and sound effects have always been a weapon for horror films to create atmosphere. The film is successful in this regard. At the same time, this film also draws on the bloody taste of some American campus horror films. The section where everyone on the campus is surrounded has the feeling of being chased and killed by American campus horror films.

The shell of "Suicide Together" reflects the theme of the promise, but the core is still about the conspiracy under the darkness of human nature. Maybe this series has come to this one. I think that it is no longer a selling point to dig the relationship between two girls like in the past, so I learned American movies. Make a sequel, win by quantity, and four girls appear at once. At the beginning of the film, four girls promised to commit suicide together, but one of them fulfilled, and then the living people were under the pressure of reality, and there were even ghosts spied on. In this part, the film tried to make some changes to the style of the first four parts, but the death trick similar to "Death is Coming" did not improve the horror level of this series, which is weak in horror creation, but lost the kind of horror that made some audiences. The sought after temperament, so it is the most embarrassing one.

Throughout the "Female High School Weird Talk" series, it has always maintained a consistent emotional context and story direction, which is the key to maintaining the vitality of the series of horror films. Just like the "Black Friday" series, the level is also uneven, and the influence is getting weaker and weaker, but because Jason is always wielding the knife, it can always make some audiences habitually pursue and always maintain vitality. From this point of view, this is also the embarrassment of the "Women's High Strange Talk" series. It has its own characteristics, but it is difficult to make a big breakthrough. Otherwise, it may look a little different like "Suicide Together". The strengths of this series lie in the emotional expression and the artistic handling of the pictures, which give the film a bit of literary and artistic flavor, but there are many shortcomings in the creation of a sense of horror. It was uneventful, neither startling people, nor did it leave people with endless aftertastes or fear. Therefore, for horror movie fans, the film must not have too high expectations in terms of horror. Otherwise, it would be even more terrifying to watch Mo Ji's bitterness scene with such expectations.
