In this issue, we will first recommend ten popular horror films in the 1980s and videotape era, all of which have exposed the age. I wonder if there is a shadow of your childhood in it?
1. "Bad List" 1980
Director: Yu Yunkang
Starring: Yu Qixia, Qin Xianglin
This is known as "the most terrifying ghost film in Hong Kong history", Douban score 7.1 exceeds " Mountain Village Old Corpse. It was described that after the male protagonist’s wife became pregnant, he switched to a building security job due to the pressure of life, but within a few days of work, strange incidents occurred frequently, and his colleagues died bizarrely one after another. Later, under the guidance of the mage, it was learned that the evil spirit in the mansion wanted to reincarnate as the male protagonist's child. After fighting with the evil spirits, she still failed to prevent her from reincarnation. The male protagonist had already determined that the baby was a evildoer, and finally killed his own child by himself.
The film not only relies on lighting and sound effects to scare people, but also changes the horror film "Vengeance". It is more like indiscriminate killing. Many people are innocent, but they can’t hide. Moreover, the way of death is rather bizarre, which leaves a deep impression on people. It is also an early work of "Hong Kong Fear", and it has its shadow in many films later.

The film tells the story of the male protagonist and his friends playing psychic games, and the friends die one after another. In order to investigate the truth, a period of old tragedy is brought out.
The film can become a classic but also because of innovation. In the popular period of comedy horror film, inspired by "Midnight Ring", the invisible fear was amplified, and the unexpected horror effect was obtained. Until now, when I review it, I still feel a cold back.

The family recruited a mage to suppress him with a charm. After more than ten years of safety, he did not expect to release the devil again in an accident, and the family has no peace from now on.
This is also an impressive horror film. The image of ghosts and monsters in the film is very specific, like burnt and sticky. With the special green light effects, it fits the horror films of that era. style. The plot is very complete, and it was quite scary when I was young.

horror style in Southeast AsiaSimilar to the plots of some early Thai horror films, there are also several such as "Ghosts" and "Inviting Ghosts", which can also be regarded as a series.

Director: Li Dawei
Starring: Xiao Yulong, Liu Zhaoming
p0 It's terrifying and tells a story of revenge from a fierce ghost.

In a blink of an eye, the male protagonist saw that he was about 30 years old, and the wronged soul came back for revenge, and the ending was reversed!
Many plots in the film are still very classic, such as bleeding from the tap, peeling skin, and killing with a ceiling fan. Because this one has achieved a relatively good reputation, there is also a second one, which is of the same level.
6. " Ghost Station" 1987
Director: Liu Zhenwei

, Xu Guanying directed by Jinwei Liu _img10_
The series are all comedy, and the plot and actors are quite powerful, but they are not scary, and they have formed a comedy horror film style suitable for all ages.very popular.
This is the beginning classic of the entire series, and it is also because of its success that there will be follow-up series. The film tells the story of a police station that was formerly a Japanese military barracks. After the defeat, it committed suicide collectively and the spirits persisted. It appeared during the Mid-year Festival every year. A pair of unbelieving police officers met the big boss vampire zombies, and did all they could to eliminate him and staged a farce.
At that time, Jacky Cheung's good little fresh meat, many funny sections in the film are also impressed, and the review is still very beautiful now!
7. " Ghost School" 1988

This is the follow-up to "Meng Ghost" It hasn't dropped the standard, it's also very classic. It tells about the discovery of zombie incidents, so the police station decided to set up a "ghost army", gathered the most unwelcome people from various departments, and sent them to a haunted military camp for training.
is still funny, but with warmth. At the end, a group of people are trapped by zombies, and one of them came forward to save everyone. When he was bitten by the zombie, he felt distressed and moved. I think of this paragraph every time I mention this movie, and I remember it for many years.

The ministry has nothing to contact, it's a brand new story. It was told that in order to detect a counterfeit banknote case, the police organized an undercover team full of girls and rented a house for them to live and move easily.But I didn't expect that there would be female ghosts in the building, so it almost staged a nonsensical battle between humans and ghosts.
Many big names have joined, beautiful women are like clouds, acting online. This movie is not only a funny upgrade, but also a little bit more effort in horror. The female ghosts that appear in various forms from time to time can sometimes scare you.
9. " Hell No Door" 1980
Director: Tsui Hark
Starring: Xu Shaoqiang, Mi Xue

This is a bloody comedy drama , The introduction is complete.
Because some fans commented on this movie before, I looked for it and watched it. After watching it, I was a bit poor, but in that era, the bloody scenes in the movie could still make a wave of gimmicks. It’s said It was very popular when it was released, and it was banned in some places.
tells the story of a villager on a deserted island who likes to eat R meat. The foreign and local people are not taboo, and they will be divided if they are caught. One day, Agent 999 brought a liar who came to the island to catch Jiang Yang thieves and then battled wits with the villagers. In short, it was chaotic and there were many fighting scenes.
Because of the cost, all the meat is eaten in the film. If you think about it this way, it feels like a comedy.
10. " A Chinese Ghost Story " 1987
Director: Cheng Xiaodong
Starring: Leslie Cheung , Wang Zuxian
img p0It can be said to be a household name, and is known as an unsurpassable classic. Although it is not the same style as the above ones, since we talk about ghost movies in the 80s, we must not miss it.
This film is remake of the film of the same name produced by Shaw Brothers in 1960, adapted from the story "Nie Xiaoqian" in "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio". The film tells the story of a love between the scholar Ning Caichen and the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian. The Lanruo Temple, the Old Demon of Black Mountain, and Yan Chixia in it have an inexplicable sense of familiarity, perhaps because they have been seen too many times. There is also a second one, which is also very beautiful!
