The reason why this movie mixed with horror, horror, black humor and many other ingredients fascinates countless fans is largely due to the continuous increase in the plot of joy, excitement and even crazy plot. From today’s point of view, this "Living Corpse", adapted from the well-known horror novel writer HP Lovecraft's series of novels, is undoubtedly the pinnacle of horror movies in the 1980s. The works of HP Lovecraft have a great influence in horror literature. In recent years, according to HP The video game "Haunted Mansion" developed from Lovecraft's work is also very popular among players. "Live Jumping Corpse" opened up new ideas and new trends in horror movies. Why does "Living Jumping Corpse" have such a magical power, so many fans are crazy, and it was selected as one of the top 10 movies in 1985 in multiple selections. In addition to excellent scripts and excellent actors, I believe The combination of black humor in the horrible plot and entertainment in the dim ending is one of the elements of the film's success. "Living Jumping Corpse" is director Stewart Gordon's screen debut, but the director has shown his own excellence in the overall rhythm of the film and the handling of the scenes and even the selection of actors. Although several starring actors are not well-known, almost all of them have performed very well in terms of this film. Especially Jeffrey Campbell, the actor who plays crazy Herbert, is definitely a character that will make you unforgettable. The eyes hidden behind the lenses will always show a chilling light, and it seems that everyone will become His experiment. It is worth mentioning that the special effects that need to be used in a large number of uncanny scenes in the film are all completed by the method of model making. Although without the aid of CG, these special effects are still realistic and scary and worthy of today, 20 years later. Like it! What is worth mentioning is the open ending of the film. The death of the heroine Megan made her boyfriend Dan once again raise the green needle that once caused him endless trouble. The screen gradually dimmed, leaving only the needle that was pushed all the way. close up. This kind of open ending treatment also leaves room for thinking and aftertaste for the audience, which can be called a magical touch. Of course, the film itself is not blindly showing off sensory stimulation or black humor. The ridiculous criticism of greedy humanity and the absurd revelation of anti-scientific behavior are one of the reasons why this film is superior to other horror films.
