Surprisingly adapted horror movie-"A Horror Story Telling in the Dark"
Today we will talk about the American movie "Horror Stories Told in the Dark".
The film title Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019), alias Tell in the Dark (Hong Kong) / Ghost Stories to Tell in the Dark (Taiwan) / Dark Horror Story.
This is a movie based on the horror novel of the same name.
There are three original novels "Scary Stories Paperback Box Set". You can buy the original English works above, and there is no Chinese translation. Audiences who have watched this film can go and read the original if they are interested.
The novel was written in 1981. The background of the story was set during the Vietnam War. Several adolescent children went to the haunted house to explore. Unexpectedly, they provoke a huge monster and draw corpses everywhere.
The novel "Horror Stories Telling in the Dark" integrates many urban ghost legends. The cult-filled stories are accompanied by dark horror interruptions, which brings people a very novel feeling. The novel has also won the American Library Association's (American Library Association, ALA) banned book rankings for ten years, which shows that the story is very good.
The background of the storytelling is set during the Vietnam War, and the sense of time is very strong, and the background of the current politics makes the old horror story look new. Perhaps you have heard the plots of some of these horror stories, but after substituting the background of the times, they immediately felt full of freshness.
Mentioning the director André Øvredal of this film may not be impressed by everyone, but mentioning his previous work "The Autopsy of Jane Doe" (The Autopsy of Jane Doe), I believe everyone will be a little impressed.
I didn't expect much from this film, how scary the horror stories that scare children can be, but after watching it, the film gave me more than expected feelings, and it can be regarded as worth watching.
The actual viewing effect of this film is worthy of praise, and the setting is rich in imagination. Each short story directly refers to the deepest fear in the protagonist's heart. The monsters seem to know what people think, the more they are afraid, the more they become.
What happens when you become what you fear most?
The storytelling of the film is set in the context of war, which fully demonstrates people's aversion and fear of war through a cult. War is like these monsters of various shapes, always using the most cruel means to destroy everything that people love.
As a horror film, the most critical part is to be able to make a breakthrough in scaring people. "Horror Stories to Tell in the Dark" does a great job in this regard, and does exactly what a horror movie should do.
Many monster settings and plots are refreshing. Things that weren't terrifying in life originally appear to be full of horror in the film. The makeup of monsters can make people feel disgusted physically, or psychologically, or both physically and psychologically. With the approaching atmosphere, the depressive and terrifying atmosphere increases sharply.
"A Horror Story Telling in the Dark" is like a country version of "Death Note" and a youth version of "Reaper Is Coming". If it weren't for the original novel to be written very early, it would easily be considered a masterpiece. The novel was written more than thirty years ago, maybe "Death Note" and "The God of Death is Coming" are all stealing their lessons from this.
If you feel that there are no horror movies to watch in the near future, you might as well try this "Horror Story Telling in the Dark".
The scene is attractive and the set is outstanding.
The shape is unique and there are surprises.
