Once upon a time, James Wan 's "The Conjuring " 1, 2, 3, " Annabell " 1, 2 and the "Insidious" series were popular among horror film lovers around the world, almost forming a " The Conjuring” universe.
When the words Ziren Wen are mentioned, everyone will think of horrifying images, just like the mention of Japan's Shimizu Takashi ten years ago.
This universe is comparable to the "Marvel" universe and the " Godzilla Monster Universe" in the field of horror films!
However, with the "tepid" films such as " nun " and "The Curse of the Weeping Woman" in recent years, James Wan's horror series seems to be slowly falling off the altar, and Taiwanese horror has suddenly emerged. Movies, Indonesian horror movies, Malaysian-Thailand horror movies and Vietnamese horror movies!
html There are four major Asian horror movies circulating on the Internet in 2021, namely "Southern Witch", "Psychic Medium", "Crying Sadness" and "Curse".Let's talk about "Southern Witches" first. The story takes place on the border between Malaysia and Thailand. After a dispute between neighbors, a neighbor poisoned the story. After reading it, many people said that it was not worthy of the name and not scary at all.
But if someone looks at it, they will find that the whole story is like a trickling stream, slowly told. Some shots are not only far away and biased, but even only part of the frame, as if a short and ignorant child is observing all this around the protagonist.
After reading the introduction again, I realized that this story is based on the director's personal experience as a child. As a child, he saw his mother struggling to support the family by herself, doing laundry, cooking and pooping for his father until he could no longer bear it. When crying secretly in the bathroom, this feeling of slowness and forbearance is really not something that ordinary horror movies can achieve.
The next step is "The Medium". This film is loose at first and tight at the other. It uses the form of a mockumentary to record a girl's transformation from youth and beauty to being slowly possessed, gradually becoming abnormal, and finally turning into a monster. The presence.
To be honest, after watching it completely, many people had a reaction of physical discomfort, especially the scene where the girl used aunt towel to slap her uncle's face, peeing on the table, etc. The taste was too strong, and she even turned into a zombie in the end. The film...
"Crying" was filmed in Taiwan, with a zombie-like bloody style...
The trailer of "The Curse" has gone viral on the Internet, but according to Taiwan's past practice of releasing DVDs, it is estimated that it will take 22 years. You can see it at the end of the year or early 2023!
summarized several of these films and it is not difficult to find that horror films in Southeast Asia are all related to folk customs, traditions, and special religions, which give the horror atmosphere a mysterious and special layer, very regional style. In the next issue of
, we will introduce several Indonesian horror films and Vietnamese niche horror films. I hope fans will like them.
