The most classic horror movie is "Terror Cruise". The "fear problem" about horror films didn't seem to have been considered at the time. Now that I watch this movie, I am reminded of this question.
Human beings have their own fears. For example, everyone was afraid of the dark when they were young, and later learned that this fear was "inherited from primitive humans".
But horror movies can't always be pitch black, so horror movies have to dig for something more terrifying.
In fact, there are levels of terror, such as death. It seems that this is how the movie started from the very beginning.
A person who is afraid of death finds a few irrelevant young people and asks them to play "Truth or Dare".
However, if you are not afraid of death, naturally there is nothing to be afraid of. In fact, there are still, such as "unknown". Why are human beings afraid of death? If after death, they can reach another world, then death is not the end, but a new beginning. What is there to be afraid of? The question is that human beings are still afraid. It means that rather than saying that death is the end, what human beings are more afraid of is what will happen to the "world" after death?
It's like, when we go home, we must be full of comfort, but when we go to an old castle, ruins...a horror story can begin. After all, this is a strange world, a situation full of "unknowns".
Is the "unknown" scary? No, after all, humans still have curiosity and a desire to explore. Even if we are full of fear of the unknown world, we can never stop us from exploring the unknown world.
Therefore, what is scarier than "darkness" is "death", what is scarier than "death" is "unknown", and what is scarier than "unknown"...
I think "loop". It's like, we have an undead enemy, and this enemy is the most terrifying. In the film, if the "Truth or Dare" game is killing people, this is not a horror film; similarly, if it is not an exploration of the historical origins behind "Truth or Dare", this is not a horror film; Similarly, if it is not the end, it is still impossible to get rid of the entanglement of "Truth or Dare", and even can only rely on the "Internet" to find an infinite next home, and the movie is not a horror movie.
So, the real horror movie is "loop". Just like the depiction of hell in Buddhism, what is scary is not all kinds of torture, not the food that disappears in one's mouth, but the "six paths of reincarnation". 18.6.26
