Recently, the horror-themed film "The Curse" directed by director Ke Mengrong has been on the hot search. There are almost no familiar actors in the starring cast, and the storyline is not scary. So why is it so popular on the hot search?
This "Curse" mainly tells the story of Ruonan and his friends forming a video team, breaking into a forbidden place in an unknown ritual six years ago, offending a sleeping taboo, and everyone died mysteriously one after another.
It is said that this film is adapted from a real incident that happened in Kaohsiung . At that time, a family of six believed that they had gotten into something dirty. The whole family went crazy and even committed suicide and other bizarre behaviors, which eventually led to the death of a family member. .
I have to admit that this "Curse" is one of the most innovative films to promote in 2022.
First of all, it is adapted from real events, which adds an element of fear to everyone.
What is the scariest thing?
is undoubtedly a real terrorist incident that happened in real life. Although I don’t know the authenticity of the film’s introduction to this film, it obviously gave the audience a direct psychological fear.
Secondly, it will not be as dramatic as other domestic horror films. It gives people an immersive feeling in the form of a documentary. It does not have scary scenes, but mostly real supernatural things that happen to a small number of people in remote areas. The appearance makes it very easy for people to imagine what it looks like in real life, and the theme of "Spell" is really special.
Although this "Curse" takes a different approach, it is an intuitive video. Is it really scary?
To be honest, for horror movie enthusiasts, it may be a little disappointing.
Anyway, I was not scared from beginning to end. Of course, I cannot rule out that my fear point is high, so I couldn't reach it.
The shaky shots make people dizzy and dazzling, and occasionally arouse nervousness, and may not be friendly to patients with trypophobia. Although there are not many trypophobia shots, they are disgusting enough to see them, especially the big one at the end. The face, probably expressing horror with disgust!
But I have to admit that this "Curse" has made great progress as a horror film compared to previous works, but it is still not that scary.
is more like a horror film that follows the trend of " psychic ", but without the support of local culture, it will inevitably be a bit weak.
What’s very funny is that I never expected that the phrase “I call you, do you dare to agree?” in "Journey to the West" was integrated into this horror-themed film. I don’t know whether people should be afraid. You should still laugh out loud.
The most brilliant thing about it is that it leaves a "general" at the end of the film, which poses a contradictory question to the audience and also puts itself in the spotlight of public opinion.
If you don’t believe it and think it’s all fake, then the film will no longer be scary, and may even make the audience feel that they have been deceived and fell into the director’s trap.
But if you believe it, all this is true. So although the film is scary, it will be somewhat unfavorable to the audience.
Have you watched the film "The Curse"? What do you think?
