There is a legend among ancient Chinese folk that you cannot go out around , around 1, 10 July, 10, or around the Zhongyuan Festival. Because every time this time, some ghosts will often appear in the world, so this festival is often called the Ghost Festival. At this time, if you are alone outside, you will hear someone calling you from behind, don’t look back at this time. Legend has it that there is a lamp on each shoulder of a person. If he turns around, it will cause the lamp to go out. In this way, the ghost can get close to you.
There is such a movie in China, " July 2: Horror Dormitory ". It describes several college students living in a dormitory that has been abandoned for more than a year. It is said that people have died in this dormitory. Then, some bizarre stories happened around July halfway.
Many people may see this movie as domestic, so they have no desire to continue watching it. In fact, this is not the fault of the audience. I have to say that domestic movies have been the same routine in recent years. Basically, it is caused by the male or female protagonist being taken to the pill and having some fantasies. Even if it's nothing at the beginning, it will make people feel visually exhausted over time, so I don't like this kind of horror movies very much.
But the editor wants to say that today's movie is different from those domestic movies in the past. There is no important phenomenon in this movie, and the heroine is also a very rational and smart normal person.
He does not deliberately exaggerate and exaggerate the tense atmosphere like traditional horror movies. There is not so much noisy background music to set off this atmosphere, nor is there the terrifying ghost that suddenly appears, which makes people feel visually scared.
The entire movie does not have awesome special effects, and some people even say that the special effects of this movie is handled very roughly, but in fact, this is indeed the case. The special effects of the whole movie are dimly rays, and perhaps some places are not as perfect as some blockbusters. But even if the movie has its shortcomings, he can still create a terrifying atmosphere.
First of all, when the heroine comes out alone at night, there is no very terrifying music to create the atmosphere, but the heroine walks alone in a very long and dark corridor with a flashlight on, just like that almost claustrophobic space, which gives people a terrifying feeling from the bottom of her heart. Even if the heroine feels scared and does she scream directly like an ordinary horror movie, it will be easier for the audience to accept it and make the audience feel more terrifying.
That is the whole story revolves around a dormitory. But here I want to complain a few words. Since these four people in the dormitory know that the dormitory has been abandoned for a year and that one person has died, don’t you know how to apply to the school to change the dormitory? I knew that this dormitory was very unsafe and couldn't stay any longer, but I still wanted to stay in the car. This may be a loophole in this movie. However, this does not affect the movie's special effects.
The whole movie combines the oldest horror elements in China, such as suicide, The girl in red . Every time a girl in red appears, it makes people feel very scared. However, he also has a different thing from other horror movies, which is this ghost, who doesn’t even show his face. The starting point is also very good. Compared with some foreign movies, every time I see a ghost, I see the front face. No matter how terrible the makeup is, there is no face that is not revealed. There is only a back, and the feeling of winning is that it has an atmosphere.
However, there is some controversy about the end of this movie, and many netizens said they don’t understand the movie. He left some room for consideration at the end of the film. I have to say that this is a more unique idea in horror movies. Traditional horror movies usually have various revenge after being hurt, although there are some fear at the beginning, the whole story will often be revealed at the end, telling everyone that the heroine is just taking revenge.
But this movie is not like this. It leaves room for the audience to consider, which will make everyone have infinite imagination and the ending is easy for everyone to accept.However, the official ending of this movie has given it. It was officially announced long after the movie was released. It is said that Weiyang was burned to death in the fire before, but she was not actually dead.
She was burned in the fire and was framed. So for so many years she wanted to find out the truth and make herself clear of herself, and to avenge herself. So she was already treated when she was in the hospital, but in order to find out the truth and find out the real murderer, she could only pretend to be a vegetative person and lie on the hospital bed.
. For women and Weiyang, they were infected with the virus at the beginning, and fantasies arise. In their dormitory, the person who lived a one year ago was Weiyang, and later, after Weiyang died, the dormitory was abandoned for more than a year. When Wei Yang has been treated, she will secretly run off the hospital bed in the middle of the night, change into red clothes, return to school, pretend to be a female ghost in red, come out to scare people.
's purpose is to find out who the person who harmed her. Maybe everyone thinks it is strange to the identities of the heroine and Wei Yang. After all, the two look exactly the same. In response, the official also specifically explained that after Wei Yang woke up, she was burned in the fire and was disfigured. In order to find out the truth, she went for plastic surgery and made a face exactly the same as the heroine.
Later, many people may not understand the abnormality that the heroine showed when answering the phone again, but in fact, the heroine at this time was no longer the heroine, but the heroine pretended to be Weiyang, and in the end Weiyang killed the heroine. In this way, everything can be straightened out. The heroine did not become so strange for no reason, but had already been changed by someone unknowingly.
As for the weird smile given at the end, the ending. Many people are puzzled, but the editor feels that it is probably the inner demon. Perhaps the purpose at the beginning was to find someone who harmed you to avenge yourself, but over time, the inner demon will be produced. The inner demons are in everyone's heart. If you don't grasp them well, you will be crazy.
Many people don’t have a high rating for this movie, but the editor thinks that this movie is already a pretty good one among domestic horror movies. Even if he has a little shortcomings, it is acceptable, after all, its subject matter is very novel. And the atmosphere created is different from the past. I hope that when you divide it evenly, don’t deny this horror movie in your heart just because it is domestic.
