What are the horror films of traditional culture?

Man's reason was pushed to the altar, and he began to despise God, and his faith gradually disappeared.

So in modern times, with the prosperity of science and technology, religion has become more and more dispensable.

Their only active place seems to be a series of movies and games.

In these works, religion often appears as an evil and strange force, controlling life and death and driving fate.

Demons, ghosts and cult rituals in hell have all become synonymous with "modern religion" in people's minds.

So, in the next eight religious horror movies, will there be any you like?

(The following rankings are in no particular order)

Silent Hill, released in 2006, was adapted from the game of the same name born in 1999.

The story revolves around a different world town controlled by cults and demons, and tells the story of a mother looking for a woman.

The film shows three worlds, reflects on blind worship, and expresses maternal love and humanity.

Built a unique isolated "Silent Hill" town.

Demons of different shapes, corrupt churches and a world without light have all become unforgettable elements of this film.

Silent Hill is actually the moral bottom line in everyone's mind. It is the execution ground for the souls of all beings and the gallows for the evildoers.

There, there will be a triangular head with a big knife to judge all guilty people.

The theme of this film, as alessa's biological mother said, "Our faith is our grave digger."

1973 The Exorcist is an old film, but it doesn't prevent it from scaring you.

The film tells the story of a priest who has rich experience in exorcism and the evil spirits in the girl.

The devil in the film is not those stupid hats who climb out of TV, but has a strong religious meaning and is a feud with the church.

Where does the devil come from and what does he want? The film does not explain.

However, it violated a virgin's body, prompted the little girl to urinate in public, exposed her private parts in front of the doctor, and tied her nakedness with a cross.

When despair came, believers kept praying, but the Lord's blessing never came.

In the face of unscrupulous demons, what priests do is nothing more than splashing holy water, reading the Bible and crossing their hands.

This is undoubtedly the most explicit metaphor and irony of religion.

Evocation, released on 20 13, should be 1 on most people's horror films.

The film is adapted from a real event, and the whole film revolves around the haunted house.

The protagonist and his wife are the only exorcists recognized by the Catholic Church. They have psychic abilities, so they come here to exorcise demons.

Horrible movie master James Wan vividly shows a seemingly old-fashioned story, which is creepy in many places.

The film is full of retro flavor, no plasma, no inversion, no surprise.

It is more real to create a sense of terror only by using dark enclosed space and sound effects, and it will definitely make people sweat after reading it.

In 2002, China's rare religious horror film "Double Pupils" directed by Chen was born.

This film can be called the most horrible film in Chinese, with oriental elements, heresy, suspense and blood.

Based on the traditional Taoist culture, the film shows a completely different process of "cultivating immortals".

The ancient symbols in the film, such as the book of Hutuluo, the trial practice of the five prisons, the shaoyang Taiyin and so on, have all become extremely scary here.

Tony Leung Ka Fai's acting is perfect, the story of the script is solid, and the atmosphere is well rendered.

Among them, the Taoist temple tragedy in the building is the childhood shadow of many people.

This movie is so classic that it pays tribute to Chinatown Detective 2, but the latter is superficial, far less than eyes.

Crying, released on 20 16, is one of the few religious horror films in Korea.

The plot is complex, involving Catholicism, Shinto and Shamanism.

Director Hong-jin Na's skill is profound, so are Huang Zhengmin, Guo Daoyuan and Jun Kunimura.

It's just that the story line is confusing and complicated, and many religious symbols, such as bird's nest, black goat, crow, and sacred sites, are also confusing.

The most touching scene in the film is the fighting between Huang Zhengmin and Jun Kunimura from a distance, which is very exciting.

The desperate ending is chilling, and no good person is spared. The devil shouted and left, but was finally drowned by the rainstorm.

What can stand the test is the details, but what can't stand the test is the faith.

The baby of rosemary, released on 1968, is earlier and scarier than The Exorcist.

The film tells the story of a poor mother who was assassinated by a cult and gave birth to a demon baby.

There are no supernatural scenes, no sudden fright, not too many dark scenes and no disturbing music.

But the film is shrouded in despair and pain from beginning to end, and there is a deep helplessness to fate.

It is worth mentioning that during the film's release, Polanski's wife, who was eight months pregnant, was killed by a cult member by caesarean section at home.

The media said that the Catholic hero in his "Rosemary's Child" finally gave birth to Satan's son, which was an affront to God.

20 15 The Witch, a religious horror movie, has a good reputation.

This story happened in New England in the 1930s in 17. It tells the story of a family who went through a series of mysterious events and then tried to find out the culprit who cursed the whole family.

The characteristics of the selected films are very attractive and have a strong and dark medieval style.

The theme of original sin of "being born guilty" runs through the whole film, and a glimpse of a family highlights the social function of religion at that time.

The loss of faith, the invasion of witches and the oppression of patriarchal society show the whole process of family collapse.

The film is cold in literature and art, full of metaphors and symbols of religious symbols.

When you pray, not only God but also the devil will hear your prayer. The more pious you are, the easier it is for the devil to take advantage of it.

The "Gene Doomsday" released on 20 18 can be said to be an unexpected surprise.

The perspective of the film is also unfolded through an ordinary family, telling the story that the mother (hostess) sacrificed the whole family (including herself) for the devil and changed her body.

The film involves 72 demons of Solomon and contains a lot of metaphysical knowledge.

Although it was a horror film, it took a whole 1 hour to pave the way and concentrated the horror in the last 35 minutes.

Some shots have a sudden sense of terror, which can make people hold their breath and cover their fingers.

Another success of this film is that although the religious shell is strong, it still does not prevent the audience from understanding it.

Low cost, but sincere.
