What is HORROR FILMS?
Horror films are designed to frighten and to invoke our hidden worst fears, often in a terrifying, shocking finale, while captivating and entertaining us at the same time in a cathartic experience. Horror films feature a wide range of styles, from the earliest silent Nosferatu classic, to today's CGI monsters and deranged humans. They are often combined with science fiction when the menace or monster is related to a corruption of technology, or when Earth is threatened by aliens. The fantasy and supernatural film genres are not usually synonymous with the horror genre. There are many sub-genres of horror: slasher, teen terror, serial killers, satanic, Dracula, Frankenstein, etc.
According to the above definition, which is not authoritative but widely used, a thriller movie needs to inspire the deepest hidden fears of human beings. Generally, there will be terrifying and unexpected movie endings, and there will be an addictive and relaxing movie-watching experience. The body posture of holding back the energy, the whole body tense and finally gasping for breath. From the vampires that appeared in the first "Nosferatu" to today's animated trolls to perverted hysterical humans, the direction of horror is different, so horror movies can be divided into many sub-types. Most often, thrillers are combined with sci-fi genres, or there are twisted humans who use technology to transform themselves, or there are aliens who are coming to destroy the planet. But it's worth noting that, unlike the sci-fi category, the fantasy or superpower movie category has nothing to do with thriller movies. To sum up, thriller movies can be divided into "Blood Killer", "Teenage Horror", "Serial Killer", "Satan Exists", "Blood vs. Bleeding", "Frankenstein", etc. Wait.
You can also see more about the development of HORROR FILMS here ( http://www.filmsite.org/horrorfilms.html ). As the only one in the mainstream movie category that can scare people to wet their pants, thriller movies carry a lot. For example, it needs the unrestrained fantasies of the main creators, needs to understand the physiological limits of human beings and challenge them, and needs audience-oriented design plots and The explosion point needs to go deeper in one direction, or take the bloody route, or take the perverted route, etc. "SAW" is successful because it can focus on blood and go on, and in one aspect, it meets the audience's need for horror, even if it is a good movie and a good work.
In turn, watch DREAM HOUSE. I was speechless for a while. In the movie, the picture in the poster does appear, but it is only a momentary thing, 100% not scary. At the 70th minute of the movie, I checked my watch, and I was still walking the warm family route. Where is the horror? This is completely a normal DRAMA type.
[A lot of fights, one mistake, all gone, I...]
[I plan to immerse myself in anger and fight again, is it so difficult to give one star? 】
The man quit his job, bought a new house, and lived a touching family life with his wife and daughter. Someone was looking at them from the window, and the man became suspicious and went to ask the police that there had been a homicide in his house. The suspect is the man himself. He witnessed the murder of his wife and daughter five years ago. Everyone told him that your current wife and daughter are ghosts. The audience, please don't panic, these ghosts are the most people-friendly ghosts in history. This may be the only innovation of this film. They don't have any ghost powers, and they are 100% identical to humans in terms of appearance and function. Back in time 5 years ago, it turned out that the neighbor hired a murderer to kill his wife, and the murderer killed the man's wife and daughter regardless of left and right. The time point is now, the neighbor and the man are fighting hand-to-hand in the burning house, and the man's wife tolls the bell to distract the neighbor's attention. This is the only function of the female ghost. In the end, the man brought his neighbors to justice, and also for a while about his wife's ghost relationship. He wrote this experience into a novel, which was eventually published, and became a best-selling novelist.
SORRY, I'm spoiled. But in the face of such a thriller movie that 90% of the energy is used to render the beauty of the family, such a thriller movie with less than 2 thriller pictures and 1 horror movie that met the audience in advance in the poster, it is really powerless. Its audience is Craig's FANS, and its audience can also be people who go to the cinema when they are bored. Now moving this film into the domestic theater chain, one must satisfy the multiple types of films appearing at the end of the year, and the other must present a flourishing theater market landscape. Such an artificial, unprofessional, "thriller movie" that deceives the audience into being naked, how should we look at it?
Including European movies, Hollywood likes to use genres to define the direction of each movie, so that the audience can be more clearly distinguished and the marketing model can be more targeted. A genre has a narrative and expressive language, and a genre has a special viewing group. "DREAM HOUSE" is aimed at horror, but it has no sincerity in horror, and generates disappointment and disgust, a kind of disappointment for Craig's participation, and a kind of disgust for the perfunctory filmmakers.
Just imagine, it is still this poster, but defined as a drama, this movie may still have merit. Movies can be directed in a stylized way, and movies can be modeled in a fixed manner, just don’t stand in the wrong camp. Movies are a kind of cruelty and warmth of humanity in the world. In the eyes of most Chinese people who still love fantasy, movies are an occasional detachment. Recently, I love sensationalism, review, and reflection. Movies are my new friends. I have patience. The process of deepening understanding is full of plots of approaching each other and opposing each other. Whether they are ready or not, the film industry will run over like a tank. Thoughts of people who love movies. HORROR FILMS, be stronger.
