A complete collection of detailed information on Japanese horror movies

Most Japanese horror films have different styles and oriental colors, among which the masterpiece is "The Ring of Midnight". It has a lasting and profound horror effect to create psychological horror mantras by relying on stories, characters and voices. Unlike Hollywood, it relies on special effects and bloody means. Japanese horror films all use people's psychology to achieve success. Everyone always has something to be afraid of. Some things, even if they are not afraid at first, will leave some impressions in his mind after listening to them, that is, the subconscious. Coupled with some creepy pictures and sound effects, people are immersed in a kind of fear. Perhaps it is the fear of death, the fear of darkness, those most instinctive fears. These are usually used in thrillers to torture people's psychological endurance.

Strange talk about new ear bags, ghost doll hanako, mysterious ghost story, Japanese ghost curse, Che Ling, the representative work Sadako, is a horror character in classic Japanese horror and one of the most classic and famous horror movie characters today. The actors are Hinako Saeki, Hinako Saeki, Yukie Nakama, Hashimoto Ai and others. "Kayako" is a horror character in the famous Japanese horror film The Truth, and it is one of the most horrible and classic horror characters today. There are many actors, and Takako Fuji is the most recognized one. Historical development briefly expounds the historical development and aesthetic characteristics of Japanese horror films, and on this basis, Japanese horror films are roughly divided into three categories: story suspense films were formed before the war, peaked in the late 1950s to 1960s, and tended to die out in the 1970s. This kind of film is based on the traditional Japanese mysterious story (story), and the drama aesthetics of Kabuki is integrated into the film. Its plot mode is relatively simple, which makes it get rid of the shackles of narrative, devote itself to the scene scheduling and visual creation of classical aesthetic feeling, and even pursue that mysterious artistic conception. The transitional period came into being in 1950s, and it was often based on or inspired by British and American horror movies. (Most movies from Europe and America were banned in Japan during World War II) Monster movies (You can undoubtedly see the influence of King Kong, but Japan, which put it in the shadow of nuclear war, drew many types of elements from the sci-fi horror movies that swept the United States in the 1950s) Vampire movies (based on global horror and hammer horror movies) Torture movies (based on the punishment of the Tokugawa shogunate in the Edo era). Strange pictures (adapted from Japanese exotic novels or mystery novels, or based on legendary real events in Japanese history) Japanese horror films in this period gradually became pornographic (the storyline of mystery films was the same or even worse), just like the horror in Europe at that time. In 1970s, the lack of studio system had a great influence on the face of horror films. This is reflected in the emergence of underground movies, such as Iron Man in Shinya Tsukamoto. The original torture films also became darker and gradually merged with violent films (forming what I call torture bloody films), which were influenced by American bloody films in the 1970s. These seemingly chaotic development trends eventually gave birth to the so-called supernatural films in the early 1990s. Japanese thrillers in this period no longer simply imitated the West, but showed a high degree of homogeneity (relatively speaking) at the production level. The decline of studio system makes it difficult for most works to get high budget, so most of them are low-cost movies or film-like products made for TV and video. This has a great influence on its aesthetic style, which is manifested in the use of hand-held and real scenes (both of which are very important), and many films also show a tendency of imitation (this tendency is also found in European and American horror films, but it seems to be more prominent in Japan). Most importantly, this kind of film is called psychological horror in China-this is actually not accurate, and it can't be distinguished from the psychological horror that already exists in Europe and America, but in any case, Japanese thrillers do present a characteristic different from the traditional horror films in Europe, America and even Japan, which is exactly what I try to analyze in detail in this paper. Japanese horror films have not only achieved great success in business, but the horror films represented by Midnight Bell and Curse are in sharp contrast with the overall atmosphere of world horror films in content, style and inner consciousness. In this batch of films, the theme of "supernatural" appears frequently, which has a unique oriental horror. Compared with similar horror films in the West, Revenge of the Ghosts embodies profound aesthetic and cultural differences. Attracting heroines Most of the heroines in Japanese horror films are girls, which are both beautiful and scary. While showing appalling cruelty and evil, there is also a sympathetic and regrettable side. Whether Zhen Zi, Hua Zi or evil spirits, the evil and terrible power in them all come from the darkness in the depths of human nature, from the inner restlessness and strong loneliness. The film presents a tragic figure under the appearance of terror. This duality factor is one of the key elements of Japanese horror films. Shamma La in The Ring of Midnight 2 inherits the characteristics of Donnie Yen. Horror images Japanese horror films have won the tradition of oriental mysticism. Horror comes not from vision, but from imagination. Ghost images in Japanese horror films such as The Lord of the Rings at Midnight and Ghost Doll Hanako are all uncertain and ethereal phantoms. This half-hearted, half-absent treatment makes the audience's expectation psychology stronger and the sense of terror rises. This shows that oriental culture is good at freehand brushwork and has a strong color of oriental metaphysics. Introverted temperament Japanese culture has an introverted temperament, which is a major feature of Japanese horror films. The Japanese version of "The Ring of Midnight" is not as bloody and violent as those in Hollywood horror movies. The basic tone of black, white and gray, slow rhythm and plain dialogue are narrated calmly with the unique Japanese culture, but gradually people hold their breath. It uses relatively primitive film language to highlight the creation of artistic conception and the foreshadowing of suspense, and uses the rhythm, lighting, makeup and soundtrack of the film to create a sense of terror for the audience from the inside out. The props of Japanese horror movies are daily necessities, and there are often videos, telephones, hair, mirrors, shadows, water, abandoned buildings and things that appear inexplicably. The real terror is not an evil ghost, but a bunch of cold eyes, an evil smile and some unknown and taboo secrets you want to know. In "The Ring of the Rings at Midnight 2", Hideo Nakata still repeatedly uses scenes in daily life, such as the sudden ringing of the phone, the tap on, the automatic opening of the door and so on. A common theme of Japanese horror movies with time and space concept is how human beings provoke ghosts in a closed space. The space where ghosts collide is often claustrophobic like a desert island, and the treatment of this space is obviously a metaphor for the island country. Because Japan is often attacked by floods, water is regarded as a symbol of death, and the image of "water" has become a symbolic element of Japanese horror films. In addition, time has always brought fear to the Japanese, especially when time is injected with information and becomes history. This can be traced back to the Taisho period. During the reign of Emperor Taishō, the Great Kanto Earthquake caused numerous deaths and injuries, which became a remarkable coordinate in Japanese history, and the resulting doomsday consciousness became the source of terror in modern Japan. "The Lord of the Rings 2" went to a desert island to film the horror and doomsday feeling of water.

The Lord of the Rings at Midnight, also known as The Mystery of Seven Nights, is a movie that almost makes people feel scared and suffocated. It is also recognized as one of the most classic horror movies, and it is regarded as the pinnacle of horror movies, which is better than that in Europe and America. Sadako in the film is the most famous female ghost image in the history of world movies. This is a horror film with no silence in one go, the whole film 100 minutes. The plot is not bloody and horrible, but captures the emotions of the audience through a strange and grotesque atmosphere, resulting in endless fantasies. The rhythm control is perfect, which makes the audience breathless when watching it, leaving a long-lasting psychological shadow after watching it. Most movie fans learned about Japanese horror movies from Midnight. When this movie was released in Hong Kong, it became the highest-grossing movie in Hong Kong with a total income of HK$ 3,654,380+000, which broke the records of New Year's films king of comedy and Glass Bottle, and even the prequel trilogy could not match it. The Japanese version of the horror film "Midnight Bell" is the scariest film in oriental culture, which not only set off a "horror" upsurge in the whole Asian region, but also spread to Europe and America. The Japanese film Curse and Curse originally refers to the curse of people who die of resentment. A strong resentment generated by people's inner anger after they died in vain will persist in the place where the deceased lived for a long time, forming an evil dark force with a curse. Resentment will accumulate in the place where the deceased lived before his death, and anyone who touches it will die, and a new "curse" will be generated, and terrible deaths and "curses" will be spread continuously. Curse every visitor ... According to the traditional Japanese view, when a person dies in extreme resentment, there will be a curse, which will persist in the place where he once lived, and all those who touch it will be born to die. Japanese writer Ishigaki wrote the novel Curse, which was later remake into a series of films, including two Japanese TV series, two theatrical versions and three American versions. Mantra is the representative of horror ghost films under the background of oriental culture, and together with the midnight ring series, it is called the classic masterpiece of "Japanese horror". The curse infected a hospital full of patients, a medical accident, and a group of infected medical staff. The above constitutes the whole theme of film infection. Infection is a standard Japanese horror film with psychological implications. If he didn't pursue psychological suggestion too much, most people wouldn't understand. This movie is absolutely as famous as the curse, and the audience will feel a little puzzled when watching it. But when you really appreciate this movie, you will know where the real horror comes from. Several bizarre deaths occurred in Tokyo, which spread quietly like a plague, leaving only the puzzling last words left by the deceased before his death. First of all, a well-known female track and field athlete, in the final sprint of practice, suddenly ran to a fracture and fell to her death on the runway. Then in the downtown apartment, an old man broke the glass curtain at his wife's birthday party, jumped from the tenth floor and was lying dead on the street on the spot. In addition, at the lavish wedding banquet with a cloud of guests, the groom strangled his neck with a tie in full view. The deaths in successive cases are equally terrible, but strangely, at least one or several people can prove that the deceased committed suicide. The original author of Hypnosis, Keisuke Matsuoka, is a professor of hypnosis guidance. I majored in clinical psychology in college, and later got the national certification of hypnotherapy. 1997, his first novel Hypnosis was officially released, and was recommended by book critics as the best masterpiece of psychological reasoning novels. If you want to gain knowledge about hypnosis and test your courage, you might as well watch this movie. Strange sounds from neighbors' homes, missing girls with super powers, cursed radio waves, mental worms, pigeons who committed mass suicide, and cursed sacrifices made by villages that sank into dams. After connecting these seemingly unrelated facts together, the amazing truth finally appeared. And how does the word "pot soul" solve the puzzle? All the answers are in this legendary movie. In 2004, a director who specializes in shooting supernatural films suddenly caught fire at home after filming this documentary with the theme of "curse", and his wife was burned to death, but the writer's whereabouts are still unknown. This documentary called Curse is too shocking to be released smoothly. The game was not broken until Takashige Ichise, the super producer of The Mystery of Seven Nights, took over. Although it took the crew 1 year to interview, most people concerned kept their mouths shut and dared not tell the truth. In order to consider people in reality, some images are presented as virtual reality. Finally finished the taboo movie "Curse". The new ear bag was written by Mr. Hiroshi Muhara and Mr. Lang Zhongshan for the twentieth century. Originally published in the form of "Hundred Stories", it has been revised into "New Earbags". The order described in the new ear bag is the incredible events that happened in modern times, such as what happened in the apartment, what happened in the car, strange events in photos, various suicides and so on. Mr. Junji Ito, a famous Japanese horror comics, once painted the story of the new ear bag into a cartoon. Its name is Forbidden Space, and there are six stories about the new ear bag.

However, rumors gradually spread in the apartment where she once lived: if the residents who moved in did not wait for the new residents to move out, they would die inexplicably. At first, the locals thought it was just a rumor, but strange things really happened one after another ...
