As we all know, he is a senior fan of suspense works.

My greatest pleasure every day is to follow and watch various suspense movies and TV series.

To be honest, I am also a big fan of horror-themed works.A little bit of knowledge。

Just watched it a few days agoAlien: Death StrandingI was originally worried that it would be a sequel to a crappy movie that just relied on its old reputation.

Unexpectedly, it tastes good.

It’s still that familiar taste!

Various unedited restricted scenes, overwhelming violence and blood, mixed with a bit of nausea.

I felt like the monster's saliva was about to drip onto my face through the screen.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the "immersive" massage chair that came with my session.Friends who are lucky enough to have this experience can talk about your feelings.

But that night, as I held:

The mentality of "I have watched so many horror movies this year, and now I am much stronger"I opened the "Hong Kong Ghost Story" which had been gathering dust for a year.

Then I successfully received the "heartwarming care" from the kind-hearted and caring elder sister Jiahui.

I didn’t expect that when it comes to horror, our domestic Chinese horror tours are even better!

There are other domestic horror games, except for the "Paper Bride" series which has become very popular in recent years.

"Ghost Bridge", "Paper Man", "Fu" and so on, have also been well received by netizens for their full horror atmosphere, excellent plots and high-quality production.

I seriously doubt that our domestic horror tours have some kind of annual scary KPI indicators, otherwise why would each one be more terrifying than the last!

Contrary to the game,Whenever a horror game refreshes the player's fearWireHowever, domestic horror films always manage to lower the audience’s aesthetic standards.

There is no special reason, it’s just that they always manage to be bad to a new level and in a new way, so bad that the audience can’t help but curse after watching them:

Are cheesy comedies these days also incorporating horror elements?

They are both domestic horror works, so why is there such a big gap between the game and the movie?

Especially the mainland online movies in the past decade.

"Movies produced in mainland China are bound to be bad" has almost become a label that domestic horror films can never get rid of.

The number of chat records in which people complained about the ugliness of domestic horror films far exceeds the number of times Da Ru defended his innocence.

What is the reason?As a result, it is difficult for domestically produced films, especially horror films in mainland China, to make the audience laugh out loud in the cinema.

Let’s talk about it today.

First of all, there is the old-fashioned, mysterious censorship system.

Because there is no clear film classification system, the review rules are also unpredictable.

The worst case scenario is that the producer rushes to change the film beyond recognition and cuts it into pieces before it is released.

Especially horror-themed works must adhere to materialism.There must be no "ghosts".

This also leads to the fact that in the current domestic horror films, the first two-thirds of the film are full of supernatural phenomena, but in the finale, the protagonist has a split personality and is mentally ill, or it is a man-made event such as revenge of the living.

The second most important factor that affects the quality of domestic horror films is the entry threshold and the creators themselves.

Compared to other types of films, the entry threshold for horror films is lower.

Especially for online movies, there are no strict requirements for directors, actors, or scripts.

New directors lack creative experience, screenwriters do not need to repeatedly polish the script, actors do not need to train their acting skills, and post-production special effects can be done at will.

The time spent on the entire film from shooting to completion is probably not as long as the time it takes to write the script for an ordinary commercial film in theaters.

These shoddy films eventually led to horror films becoming the "hotbed of bad movies" among domestic films.

Especially those movies that are keen on filming "Pen Fairy" and "Ouija Board", the scene layout, costumes, props and special effects are extremely cheap.

It feels like taking a movie while on a group tour.

Or they simply took advantage of the summer vacation and rented the school space for a few days to rush through the shoot.

Not even as good as a few minutes of exciting drama.

I guess the final assignments that college students can easily deal with can directly crush these domestic horror movies.

And why are the “immortals” always the “Pen Fairy” and “Ouija Fairy” when we take pictures? Can’t we do something else?

Bowls, chopsticks, buckets, stools, tables and chairs... There are so many common things in life, and in the end they all end up with someone playing tricks on them, so it’s better to make the bad ones more creative.

Maybe when the audience starts to scold, they can still praise:

Hey! Look at the director's train of thought. It is quite different in the field of domestic bad movies.

I have to give him 1 more star for his innovation.

Then there are these bad movies, not only do their names have highly similar names, but their plots are even almost identical.

It feels like a copy and paste of "XX", "XX2" and "XXX3".

I don’t know what’s the point of these crappy movies copying each other.

There's no need to compete to be on a list like the worst domestic horror films.

Anyway, every time I finish watching it, I always have the illusion that I can do it too, maybe even better than him.

Now let’s talk about the third reason why domestic horror films are criticized:

The horror gimmick was used in the early promotionofIt’s too full, which raises the audience’s expectations.

When the audience entered the theater to watch the film, they were shocked to find that this was pure fraud! The actual product was seriously inconsistent with the publicity!

Apart from the fact that the actors match the cast, the ugly plot has nothing to do with the promotional copy.

After watching the whole film, the only thing that can be associated with the word horror is probably the poster.

For example.

2014 "Beijing No. 81" starring Ruby LinIt is said to be adapted from the weird story of "No. 81 Chaonei", the first of the four haunted houses in folk legends.

The result is just a cheesy ethical romance film mixed with The Shining + Qiong Yao + bad special effects.

It is even promoted as a love movie in which the mistress is the only true love in this life and the past life.

The horror level of the movie is not as exciting as the time when I was chased by NPCs while playing escape room.

This movie is really like this: the more I was looking forward to it before watching it, the more I wanted to curse it after watching it.

Moreover, the makeup and costumes are cheap and ugly.

Even if I don’t tell you, just looking at the screenshots, who can recognize that this is Ruby Lin?

And it's so ugly.piece, there is even a second part.

It's true, the plot is crazy, the beauties are crazy, the audience is miserable, but the director's pocket is full of money.

Looking back at the works that the director had led and participated in before filming "Beijing No. 81", I feel even more confused.

Who on earth instigated these directors to make domestic horror films?

Moreover, the film is so bad that it has ruined its reputation. It would be better to make a comedy or a feature film.

But to be honest, today's domestic horror films are extremely ugly.They are still able to produce dozens of films every year to pollute the audience's eyes.

It is more or less related to you, the audience.

Yes, that's right, the audience base for domestic horror films is much larger than we imagined.

Although the plot, pictures, special effects, sound effects, etc. of the national horror film are all terrible,The audience knows that it is a piece of crap, but some people still go to see it.

First,Out of curiosityI want to see how bad this movie can be, whether it can reach a "new height"

The second reason is that I know it's ugly, but I'm afraid to watch a particularly orthodox horror movie, so I watch something kindergarten-level.Just for fun and relaxation.

Third, the "smart" director successfully graspedThe viewing psychology of some audiences, is very good at using various borderline images to attract people's attention.

Especially for online movies, which are not subject to as many restrictions as theater movies, various pornographic scenes with exposed breasts and legs have almost become essential shots for them.

In other types of online movies, there are even more shots that borderline characters.

If it weren't for the restrictions of the censorship system, the plots and the proportion of borderline stories in these online movies would probably be reversed.

It is human nature to appreciate beauty, but I really ask all the directors, when making horror movies, can you focus the camera on the ghost faces and the embarrassment of the victims?

Rather than certain parts of female characters!

Also, male ghosts are also ghosts!

When will domestic horror films have more mature male ghosts other than female ones?

Whenever I want to watch some new domestic horror movies to relieve my boredom, as soon as I open a certain app and see a bunch of crappy movies with similar names and posters, I can't help but complain.

It's over. It's all over.

The future of domestic horror films seems to be hopeless! It is dark ahead!

What I’m saying is, it’s not like we haven’t eaten good food before.

It's too early.Movies such as "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", "Double Eyes", and "Mr. Zombie Series", and the old TV series "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", which one is not a childhood shadow for those born in the 80s and 90s?

Even the version starring Jay Chou, which is mainly about detective storiesYoung Justice Bao, its background music, if listened to in summer, will always cool down the temperature.

*A childhood that has not been frightened by Teacher Chu Renmei is an incomplete childhood.

Speaking of more recent films, the Soul Ferry trilogy is definitely on the list.

As for this drama, the director is unknown, the actors are all unknown, and there is no sponsor to invest heavily, so the costumes and props and some pictures do not look exquisite enough, and the special effects may only be worth two cents.

But such a low-budget web drama was able to become popular only half a month after the first episode was aired.The online broadcast volume reached 250 million.

With this amount of views, some of the current S+ blockbusters may not be able to achieve that even if they are given a year.

Then what is the basis for "Soul Ferry"?

Of course it is the solid plot and the careful performance and production of the entire crew.

First of all, the setting of this drama really has ghosts and gods, it is not simply a man-made incident or a disease nightmare.

Moreover, ghosts and gods are divided into good and evil, unlike the common horror movies at home and abroad, 90% of the characters are evil ghosts that harm people.

At the same time, the drama is good at quoting classics, combining various historical allusions with stories about gods, ghosts and monsters, breaking away from the limitations of traditional ghost films that are only meant to scare and harm people, and elevating the style of the entire drama.

For example, the story of "Five Young Masters".

Taotie, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts, was set as the Fifth Prince who loves to taste "delicacies".

His food is human beings with overly inflated desires and extreme greed.

The play uses this article to draw lessons from the past and satirize the present, satirizing people's unlimited desires.

Such a great work that dares to shoot and speak boldly can be ranked highly in other genres, not to mention being classified as a horror film.

Too bad there is no season 4!!!

Of course, in addition to "Soul Ferry", "Bad Obsession Remover", "River God 1", and the detective-based "Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty" series, they are also worth watching.

Anyway, I'm out of fast-movie movies, so I can only keep watching old ones.

If you have any good domestic horror movies, please leave a message to recommend them!

As for the current situation where it is becoming increasingly difficult to produce good domestic horror films,If you have anything to complain about, please leave a message.

That’s all for today.

See you tomorrow.

Bye~!
