I remember when I was in my teens, and my parents at the time, I had a good time watching "Baby Little Fiend" (a transformational work starring "Home Alone"). It was a film that was too fierce to my parents' expectations. , The villain Xiaozhengtai inside, because of lack of love, brothers and sisters, moms and dads are all killed. After watching our house, my parents were silent collectively, so I had to laugh twice.
In the long years that followed, Japanese ghost films sprang up. "The Grudge", "Ghost Call", "Rare", "Ghost Baby" and so on. Although there are not as many psychological descriptions of children as European and American movies, they must be It is to make the children put on ghost makeup and elicit gimmicks to scare people.
Why, generally women, old people, and children are so popular in the pretend ghost world, that is, they are the disadvantaged groups we often say in real life. When the normal disadvantaged groups have certain supernatural powers, we will feel more Horror.
Later, I saw "Fruit Hard Candy" (it is said to scare a group of men after watching it), "Ulenka", "Silent Hill", "Don't mess with children", "Orphans", etc. It is too fierce to lose or not to lose in "Joshua" and "The Orphanage".
When I saw a little girl from "Silent Hill", I wanted to watch this film. It is estimated that this little girl has become addicted to acting as a ghost, and the performance is very lifelike and vivid. But after reading it, there is really a trace of regret. Not for the actors, but for the screenwriters.
Watching the ghost-baby movies for so many years can be regarded as a witness to the development of ghost-baby movies.
From the child’s lack of love to murder to the child’s high IQ to kill, to the child’s murder for revenge, to the child’s superpower to kill, to the child who is not a real child, and he wants to kill, to the child who is not a human but wants to kill.
Killing from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, from the age of 12 to the age of 22, children can be humans, ghosts, elites or aliens, and then they fool adults and play with adults and kill adults. It’s also considered exhausted. Seeing the beginning and ending, it’s psychological. There are counts.
To be honest, I saw the two trembling parents and calm children in the film, and I already knew the development process later, so I lost most of the suspense and horror in the film, and I can only look at the picture and feel it. The atmosphere of horror.
When the child shouted under the bed, it instantly changed into the crawling movement of "Galcon" in "The Grudge". I really don't know whether to cry or laugh.
This is a great pity for viewers like me who want to watch horror movies to stimulate their nerves.
I sincerely hope that the films of the Ghost Baby series can break free from the shackles of previous films and give people new surprises in the plot.
I never know why people like to use "Orphan" as a model of this kind of film recently? Maybe people haven't paid attention to this kind of film before? Maybe the promotion of the film is done well? Maybe it's because she is not a real child and will comfort an adult?
Perhaps it is preconceived, I still miss "Baby Little Fiend" the most, because at the time my parents looked at them with stern expressions, and I still see them, making me laugh for a long time.
