What horror movies are there about Halloween?

Halloween is Halloween? The common name of "Day" was originally a religious festival of Catholicism and other Christian religions, and the time was 165438+ 10/. So when it comes to Halloween, do you think of some horror movies? Let Bian Xiao recommend some for you.

What horror movies are there about Halloween?

The Woman in White was written by British writer wilkie. A novel written by Collins in the19th century is considered to have influenced later Gothic literature and inspired Allen? The creation of writers such as Poe. In The Power of Evil? A woman in white? This classic image was reinterpreted, and later it contained a heartbreaking love story. There are many similar reinterpretations in Evil Forces, which is an important highlight of the whole series.

In 20 12, a film "Woman Black" was released in England. Judging from the title, it is obviously a tribute to the woman in white. Harry? Porter. Daniel? Starring Radcliffe. However, this film is not as popular as the reinterpretation in "The Power of Evil", except Daniel? Radcliffe's acting in the film is mediocre and he is too young to look like his father. Most importantly, the whole movie is hardly scary, and there are almost no other advantages except careful framing.

Let's watch Asian horror movies again. Once upon a time, there were the most horror films in Asia. Scary? This area belongs to Japan. Although in recent years? Fans? Scientists have to admit that Thai horror movies are rising stars, but the Japanese "Midnight Ring" series is still an unsurpassed classic. It creates a new philosophy of terror from texts and movies. The first chapter of the novel describes that girls who review before the college entrance examination feel that there are a pair of eyes looking at themselves behind them. Cold back? Let many candidates who also reviewed in the big exam era shudder. The Lord of the Rings at Midnight has created many classic scenes in horror movies, such as the scene where Sadako climbs out of the TV, and a long-haired woman watches Xue Huadian's TV alone in the middle of the night, only to find that the TV is not plugged in at all. This series of horror movies is also a work to let the audience see the sound effects of Japanese horror movies at that time. The midnight bell? Unlimited replication? This concept was later used by many horror films and became an effective excuse for remaking the sequel to the classic ghost film. Another reason why it is popular in China lies in movies? Rent a video at a video store? The plot coincides with the social reality that the domestic video store culture was booming at that time, which caused many viewers to be scared and shivering when they went to the video store to rent discs.

the stroke of midnight

The same Japanese horror film The Curse is no less than The Ring of Midnight. What impresses people most is the strangeness after the overlapping of time and space caused by the disrupted narrative order. For example, a man who lives alone will always hear the sound of knocking on the wall at three in the middle of the night. He doesn't know where the sound comes from, because no one else lives next door. The film was finally revealed, and it was found that the voice was hanging from the beam after his death. The ghost child played on the swing with his body and hit the wall. In other words, what he heard before he died was actually the sound of his body hitting the wall.

Curse is often mentioned by later generations, and it was invented somehow, which is similar to the sound effect forced by human throat, and it is extremely horrible.

Japanese horror movies have a desperate strangeness. In the world they built, all the beauty or hope collapsed, and almost everyone will die in the end. In that world, there is no hope, no possibility of survival, and the only thing left is the ugliest thing in human nature, which is infinitely magnified and distorted.

Although Hong Kong horror films can be said to be entry-level horror films, many works are still fresh in the memory of China audiences because of their similar cultures. Although the corpse in the mountain village is cheap and crude, it unexpectedly scares many people; Although "The Night of the Soul" is starring Stephen Chow and full of funny plots, in fact, it is as scary as it is funny, and it can also taste a little philosophy of life; "Inner Senses" makes people feel that Lin Jiaxin is particularly suitable for ghost films, and Li Xinjie in "Hell". A long time ago, Anita Yuen starred in A Strange Talk, which is a work composed of several different short stories, the last one? Looking for body double? A short story or a story for many viewers? Afraid of being replaced? Shadow.

Old bodies in the mountain village

Li Bihua's supernatural novels look good on paper, but the two films adapted in recent years seem to be less colorful and meaningful than the texts. The first "Lost Night" is acceptable, and it also integrates many realities of Hong Kong's current society, so it is better than modern audiences. The second "Magic Night" makes people feel that it is not scary at all. It is better to read the text directly and give people more imagination.

Peng Haoxiang is also good at telling strange stories. Although Meiji and Chunjiao is not a ghost film, the ghost story of the underground parking lot described at the beginning is still impressive, while Victoria I makes the bloody horror more wanton.

There is no doubt that Thai horror films are far ahead in the Asian horror film industry, and in recent years, they have already become compulsory in the hearts of China ghost film lovers? Mainstream? . The plot of the last female ghost riding on the hero's neck in Ghost makes countless audiences dumbfounded; "Ghost" (also known as "Ghost Suite 609") not only makes us feel terror, but also the sadness of adolescent love and the social reality of the low status of Thai women. At the same time, the film is full of absurd and funny plots, but the absurdity inside does not dilute its horror at all. Where is the crossroads of death? Ghost film world? Several popular short stories make up a film. The first story, Loneliness, achieved an extremely horrible effect without language dialogue. It was not until the end that the audience suddenly realized that recalling every inch of the plot before, they felt scalp pins and needles and goose bumps.

Generally speaking, Thai horror films are characterized by dullness, vagueness and amazing attention to detail, which makes the viewer's fear reach the deepest level. At the same time, the sexual plots in Thai horror films also express the reality of today's society, which makes the audience can't help but reflect. That kind of tragedy will only appear in an underdeveloped society, thus infinitely lamenting the protagonist's bumpy life experience.

Some horror movies in Korea are certainly scary, especially many movies with the theme of plastic surgery. But I don't know why it is always difficult to leave a deep impression, so I forget it after reading it. Korean horror films are neither extreme perverts of Japanese horror films nor quiet and weird of Thai horror films, so they can be said to be mediocre in Asian horror film circles.

Remy's psychological crime

However, Korean horror movies can't be said to be at the bottom. For a long time, domestic horror films have been criticized by the vast number of horror fans as affectation, cleverness, incoherent plot and incomplete logic. Perhaps only some of Zhou Dedong's novels are worth reading, not every one of his works is successful. Recently, Remy's "Psychological Crime" series appeared. Although the language of the novel is average, the plot is progressing well. The online drama of the same name simplifies the overly complicated characters, unifies and condenses the characters and stories among multiple works, and reorganizes many trivial and fragmented works into a relatively unified kingdom. Although there are still many improvements in shooting techniques and narrative angles, some dialogues have little to do with the development of the plot, but overall, it may be said that it is a relatively successful suspense work in China at present. However, there is still a long way to go on the road of domestic suspense and terror.

Fear is the original source of all human emotions. We run for fear, fight for fear and shout for fear. In psychology, fear belongs to a deep-rooted emotion, which comes from our curiosity about the unknown. The mentality of human beings watching horror movies is different. Some people simply seek excitement, and some people are too indifferent in real life to seek something more painful and gloomy. However, there is no doubt that horror literature works are the ultimate exploration of unknown fields by human spiritual dimension, which infinitely expands human imagination and creativity, and at the same time makes people realize that real life may not be so bad compared with horror movies. Although compared with more popular cultural products, can horror and supernatural works be said to be relative? Niche? Because it not only needs the imagination of the viewers, but also needs their thinking to break away from the limitations of daily life. But it is undeniable that there are still people with sharp minds among us. These brains always need an unknown corner to create more whimsy and imagination.

The origin of Halloween name

Halloween is an annual traditional festival in western countries. This night is the night of the year. What do people think? Haunted? One night, so it's also called? Ghost Festival? . . Chinese-speaking areas often mistake Halloween for Halloween. ? Hallow？ From Middle English halwen, very close to the etymology of holy. In some parts of Scotland, England and Canada, Halloween is still called? Halloween? It means to hold a large-scale ceremony on the day of commemorating all saints. There are many versions about the origin of Halloween, which are widely circulated: more than two thousand years ago, Christian churches in Europe designated 1 1 October 1 as? Halloween? (Halloween). HALLOW？ Which means saint. Legend has it that since 500 BC, Celts living in Ireland, Scotland and other places have moved this festival forward by one day, that is, 65438+1October 3 1. They think that this day is the day when summer officially ends, that is, the beginning of the new year and the beginning of the severe winter. At that time, people believed that on this day, the dead souls of the deceased would return to their former homes to look for all beings, so as to be reborn, which was the only hope of being reborn after death. Living people are afraid of the ghost of the dead to take life, so people put out the fire and candlelight on this day, so that the ghost of the dead can't find the living people. They dress up as monsters to scare away the ghost of the dead. After that, they will rekindle bonfires and candlelight and start a new year's life. Halloween is actually a festival to praise autumn, just as May Day is to praise spring. Druids, priests of ancient Gaul, Britain and Ireland, had a grand festival to praise autumn, which lasted from midnight on1October 3 1 day to the next day. They believe that on that night, their great death shamanism summoned all the ghosts of those who died that year, and these evil spirits would be punished for being born as animals. Of course, as long as the thought of this ghostly party was enough to make those simple-minded fools tremble with fear at that time. So they lit a bonfire and watched these evil spirits closely. That's how the saying that there are witches and ghosts everywhere on Halloween comes from. Until now, in some isolated places in Europe, there are still people who believe this is true. The ancient Romans also had a festival in 1 65438+1October1to pay tribute to their goddess Pomona. They roasted nuts and apples in front of the blazing bonfire. Our Halloween seems to be a mixture of ancient Roman festivals and Druidic festivals. Halloween activities used to be very simple, and most of them were held in churches. But all over Europe, people regard Halloween as a good opportunity to have fun, tell ghost stories and scare each other. So people no longer use this festival to praise autumn, but let it become a festival of monsters.
