Top Ten Horror Films in China

Issue 10: inner senses.

The film Inner Senses is famous mostly because as the last film before Leslie Cheung's death, it left his unforgettable voice, face and superb acting skills.

The difference between this movie and other horror movies is that it always emphasizes that ghosts don't exist. Psychologist Leslie Cheung told us from the beginning that ghosts are actually the natural reflection of information about ghosts in the human brain, not the objective existence.

Throughout the story, ghosts have always appeared as a symbol of mental illness. Ain, who lacks dependence, sees only women and children, which is the reflection of the landlord's sad story in her mind. It is precisely because there is no one worthy of relying on in the heart that it is easy to be invaded by external information and even hallucinate.

Ninth place: Old corpse in mountain village (1999)

Obviously, the old corpse in the mountain village borrowed and imitated the midnight bell. The beautiful shape and crawling way of ghosts are very similar to those of Zhenzi, and even Wu Zhenyu copied the fragments of the midnight bell directly in the video sent in the film, which also made the old corpse in the mountain village win the title of "China version of the midnight bell" that year.

The relaxed rhythm, the role interpretation of TVB routines, the complete three-dimensional horror story and the wonderful performance of the actors, the flexible use of montage techniques, and the chilling soundtrack are enough to make this old movie a classic horror story that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It's a pity that he can't escape the spell of a series of movies. So, just watch the first one.

8th place: Evil in China (20 15)

This is a domestic horror film with a small budget. The whole crew and actors are 1 1, and it was shot in a deserted resort.

Actors and directors are not professionals, calling themselves welders, waiters and waitresses.

That's the combination, but the domestic horror films they made are very wonderful.

The main attraction of Evil in China is the form of false records, which has also become the main reason why the film looks good (saves money). Fake horror movies are also an important branch of current horror movies. On the one hand, it has low cost and strong sense of substitution. Home video horror movies, especially westerners have the habit of home video, which gives people a sense of substitution.

Seventh place: Lonely soul in a dark room (1989)

You can guess what the movie is about by looking at the title of the film, which is nothing more than the story of the lonely soul who died unjustly taking revenge on the people in the building.

However, this horror movie routine that is now rotten in the streets and lanes is quite innovative in the mainland 30 years ago.

In addition to the novel routine, the picture and sound effects of the film also render the horror atmosphere of the film well.

Ancient pavilions, cobwebs all over the basement, skeletal graffiti, flashing lights, automatic doors, the clatter of toilet water, and blood in the bathtub.

Visually, blood is not a gimmick, but every bit makes people feel that ghosts are everywhere. In terms of sound effects, it is even worse. The ghost voice that runs through the film has been echoing in my ears. The superposition of the two seems to understand why someone was scared to death when watching this movie in the cinema.

Yes, you are right. When Lonely Soul in the Dark Room was shown in Beijing, an old man was scared to death on the spot, which led to the film being banned.

Sixth place: Double Students (2002)

One of the best domestic horror films.

A thriller starring Tony Leung Ka Fai and Rene Liu.

Making use of China's ancient culture to weave terrorist murders.

The whole movie is gripping, and also known as the best genre film in Taiwan Province Province.

Three bizarre murders shook Taipei.

The three victims were unrelated, but all died of hallucinations.

After investigation, the detective found that some people killed people with Taoist icons in order to live forever.

But behind this, it seems that there is still some supernatural power hidden.

Fifth place: The Legend of the Hunter in Daxinganling Mountains (202 1)

Ghosts and gods

This is the latest online horror movie.

It seems not bad to read comments and word of mouth.

The story about the "royal hunter" who is good at exorcising ghosts and understanding spirits.

In a remote mountain village in the northeast, there was a massacre.

As the last descendant of the "Imperial Hunter", he was asked to go out and investigate.

Strange things happen frequently in the investigation.

There are several natural monsters in folklore in the film.

Fourth place: Little Girl in Red 2 (20 17)

Psychic girl.

This Taiwan Province horror film stars Rainie Yang. It reflects many folk cultures in Taiwan Province Province.

The story of the little girl in red is adapted from the true story of Taiwan Province Province.

This film continues the first one, and the two together are the complete story.

It's about a little ghost in red.

She is also known locally as Mosinna, and there are also gods and tigers to protect people.

Third place: cunning silk (2006)

A horror film starring Zhang zhen, Lin Jiaxin, Big S and Chen Bailin.

It broke the ghost film with "bloody and disgusting" as its selling point. The plot lacked scrutiny, but it was horrible.

A Japanese research team wants to use anti-gravity to capture souls.

And really found and caught the ghost of a little boy.

It turns out that there is a silk thread in the little boy's eyes that connects him with his mother.

When the little boy was taken away by them, the boy's mother died immediately and became a ghost.

Second place: Night of the Soul (1995)

Night of the Soul, also known as Ghost Expert, was directed by Liu Zhenwei and starred by Stephen Chow. Such a golden partner combination is not well-known in Zhou Xingxing's works, such as the complete works of pirated stars I bought.

I suggest watching Night of the Soul on a sunny day, because it's really scary. Its exaggerated atmosphere and psychological depression are by no means under the authentic horror film. It is not an American bloody horror film, but an authentic East Asian psychological horror film.

Some of these shots, such as shooting a child's blank face from the side and shooting a dark corridor with a low shaking lens, remind me of sharping's classic horror films such as The Ring at Midnight. By the way, sharping was shot on 1980, and midnight was shown on 1998. Oh, by the way, the movie Night of the Soul was shot by 1995.

However, this movie is mainly funny. Unlike some horror movies, you don't feel horrible when you watch them, but the more you think about them afterwards, the more you get scared. On the contrary, sometimes it will make you laugh, relax your nerves and leave no psychological shadow. Among them, a passage from a mental hospital is very funny, and it is estimated that the later "Big Man" was also inspired.

It is said that this film is a tribute to "killer lyon" (Black Boy Not Too Cold). In the play, Stephen Chow is dressed like Leon, and even his name is Leo. In this film, Karen Mok plays a role similar to that of a little girl in killer lyon.

No. 1: Mr. Zombie (1985)

Mr. Zombie is really classic. It can be said that it is the originator of zombie movies, and it is the works of Sammo Hung and Ching-Ying Lam.

They combine comedy and horror, which were originally impossible to coexist, and break the fixed pattern of traditional horror films, making the plot compact and scary but funny.

The method of stopping smoking and avoiding zombies is the first, and it has become the best imitation point for many zombie movies later. Other coffin burial methods, glutinous rice method, Mo Dou method and so on are also collected from the people, and these have become the default rules for zombie films in the future.

Among them, Uncle Ying's Taoist hat, peach wooden sword and his cold humor have been deeply rooted in people's hearts. As a result, I couldn't help but hold my breath when I watched other zombie movies later, and I was relieved to see his charm. It can be described as a magical existence and a memory of our childhood.

Due to the great success of Mr. Zombie, Ching-Ying Lam has made many zombie movies, such as The Zombie Family, Mr. Ghost, One Eyebrow Road flyover, etc., which formed a complete genre of ghost movies and influenced a whole generation. With the death of Mr. Ching-Ying Lam, zombie movies became the last swan song of Hong Kong films.
