Plot introduction:

This film tells three ghost stories in an office building in Hong Kong:

Unit 1: The last box:

Working in a securities company in this building, I found that female colleagues didn't use the last compartment of the toilet, because it was "unclean". At first, Pan Gang didn't understand the meaning. Later, I heard that two women committed suicide after using this compartment this year, and every year, three people committed suicide because of using this rear compartment. Who is the third suicide this year?

Unit 2: Choice:

On Ken's first day at the toy factory, he saw a woman in white and a woman in red in the lobby. The woman in red was much more beautiful than the woman in white. The woman in red told him that she had yin and yang eyes, that the woman in white was a ghost, and forced her to jump off a building. When she jumped, Ken jumped with her. It was only after my death that I found out that the woman in red was the ghost ...

Unit 3: Go to work on time:

Sister Mary, who has served in the company for 45 years, can retire to her hometown at the end of the year. The boss's son tried to dismiss her in order to save this considerable pension. Sister Mary killed herself by burning charcoal at home, and went to work as usual the next day. It turns out that she didn't intend to take revenge, but she was used to going to work on time ...

Comment:

It may be a bit exaggerated to say that this year is the year of revival of Hong Kong-made horror movies, but it is undeniable that after several years of silence (in fact, it was mutilated), this kind of movies really have the potential to regain their courage. Inner senses, Hell, Night Watch, etc. are all serious horror films, especially Night Watch, which is launched in the form of three short plays, and the model is similar to the early Yin and Yang Road. The advantage of short plays is that they are cohesive and easy to engage the audience. When the story is thin, short stories can make up for it, which makes people forget the weakness of the story for the time being.

The author's preface above does not mean to imply that the story of Office in Ghosts, which is mainly composed of three short stories, is thin. On the contrary, this film can make good use of the advantages of short stories and successfully create a compact atmosphere. The plot development is quite lively, effectively grasping the audience's attention, the strategy of editing and directing is appropriate, and the three stories are well connected. Although they are not interlocking, they can finally be smoothly and reasonably connected.

This film consists of three stories, which are rich in entertainment, scary, funny and affectionate. Although the plot is not innovative and full of flaws (such as the clothes of people in white), on the whole, all three stories have their own characteristics. "The Last Grid" has the shadow of a Japanese horror film. The director tried to create a thrilling effect with telephoto lens, closed lens and sound. Some scenes were handled very well, but the story was weak and the creativity was lacking. Otherwise, the results should be further improved. The plot of On Time Work is interesting, but it is different from the whole film. The appearance of all the ghosts and the experience of Jordan chan are too funny. Although the director knows that it is not funny, the plot development is really forbearing. "Choice" takes the route of "Ghost Eye" and wants to have an unexpected ending, but there are flaws in the plot before, so it is not difficult for the audience with strong attention to guess the ending early. In addition, the author would like to advise friends who haven't seen this film, it is best not to watch the plot introduction of websites or DVD envelopes, because many interesting turns are publicized in advance by the plot introduction. If you watch this film after reading the introduction, it will definitely greatly reduce your sense of input.

The cast of this film is strong. Karen Mok, Feng Delun, Jordan chan and Shu Qi are all popular figures recently, and their appeal is good. The performance of the four people is evenly divided, and only Cantonese, which Shu Qi still has no progress, is more difficult to hear. A number of supporting actors, such as Roland and King-Tan Yuen, also put in their performances, which greatly increased the persuasiveness of the plot.

Compared with "Hell" or "Night Watch", this film is obviously inferior, but it is by no means shoddy. To sum up, the 9-minute "Office in Ghosts" can finally be vivid and not boring with limited resources, but please don't expect any surprises.

Although there are not many new directors in Hong Kong in recent years, there have been several this year, such as Lee Kuan Yew, the director of "Bad Boy Incident", and this movie "Scared you to death".

Chin Cub had previously worked as an assistant director and screenwriter, and mainly cooperated with the Peng brothers. As early as "Hell", he had already participated in the screenwriter, and he was also one of the screenwriters in last year's "Sen Yuan". In the youth romantic film "see you in you tube" at the beginning of this year, he was one of the directors' "Seven Articles" and concurrently served as a screenwriter and producer. He has accumulated a lot of experience in shooting thrillers because of his many cooperations with the Peng brothers. Scared to death is his first film directed independently, and he still chooses the thriller theme, with actors such as Jiang Ruolin and Tommy Yuen who just appeared in see you in you tube.

The film Scared You to Death actually started shooting in January last year, but it has only been officially released so far.

film tidbits

Telling the thriller story in a three-stage way is not a new phenomenon in Hong Kong movies. As early as the mid-199s, it was probably because of the influence of Japanese segmented tales of mystery movies and the market. There were also many horror movies with three-stage structure in Hong Kong, such as One o'clock at midnight and Yinyang Road, etc. Another example is the "Three Nights" series produced by Chen Kexin Pan Asia a few years ago, and this one

because the three-stage structure can be equivalent to three short films with the same theme or clues to form a feature film, and the three stories can attract different audiences with different style characteristics (for example, the "Three Nights" series created by Chen Kexin is a three-stage horror film for different regions), and it is easy to make the story more ups and downs and suspense in the pithy story, which can not only create a scary atmosphere, but also have an unexpected ending, what's more, a three-stage film.

Introduction of the humanoid:

Love is a proposition that human beings will always be intoxicated and crazy about. Looking for a marriage people often do many incredible things to please each other.

Make your own image into an equal-size doll, which always leads to sweetness or a nightmare of no return? China's "Liao Zhai" had such an inquiry?

It will gradually become spiritual and become another her. "Substitution" is a frequent proposition in China's traditional supernatural novels.

one day, she chose to die because she was raped. The innocent man was thought to be the murderer who was lynched. Seeing the misery, the humanoid refused to leave, and she decided to take revenge.

Only the East has such a sad story, and only the tears in the East flow like the Han River. Legendary history often reflects the story of this life, reincarnation, on the road.

Modern, it is no longer a walking distance, but a car will take you to your destination.

five models were invited by the curator of the art museum to come to the art museum in the forest, which collects and makes dolls.

When they enter, the door slams behind them, and it will be dark. The curator showed them around the collection, and at the moment, upstairs, a deadpan woman in a wheelchair was silently staring at these happy young people.

When they came to their own rooms, they found a life-size mysterious doll in each room, and the gloomy feeling slowly seeped from the music and pictures. Questions and doubts are the most effective ways to catch the audience in thriller movies.

Model Zheng Yuner always holds a doll named "Luo Meian" in her hand, while active Park Huimei likes to shoot dolls with a digital camera. Everything is going on normally, but Park Huimei always feels that something is wrong.

At the dinner table, they discussed the doll in Yuner's hand. Some people said that after a long time, the doll would become spiritual, and the oriental thinking was filled with strangeness.

The filming started. During the filming, Yuner suddenly became paranoid, and everyone was scrambling to find medicine. Only the woman in the wheelchair watched silently and finished her first sketch: a girl who hanged herself.

What is even more frightening is that in the basement of the art museum, Curator Cui is holding a person exactly like him, only a little old. The girl in red who once appeared in Park Hye-mei's field of vision is also in this room.

who are they? They ...

who dominates the incredible world, whose face appears in the human world, and whose body is swallowed up by vanity in the darkness!

Darkness is not only because of the darkness, but also because of the suffocation of the mind.

Yuner's doll was dismantled. She went crazy and accused Park Hye-mei of doing it, but Hui Mei knew nothing about it. Mysterious forces were at work and they were trapped in the fog. The story of Hong Zhengming's doll being possessed with spirits is not quite believed by young people.

everyone is dubious about what they haven't seen, but there is always something unknown in the vastness of the world.

The small talk at the dinner table suddenly gathered clues. Their hometown is actually here. So, what is calling them? !

the details of a thriller are very important. When Park Hye-mei came to the art gallery, the human figure suddenly appeared in the photo, which foreshadowed the horror of the film. The doll that she bumped into when she entered the room for the first time was really shocking, and Myna, the girl in red outside the sun window, was also full of mystery. Myna cried in front of Hui Mei and complained why she didn't recognize herself. Hui Mei had no idea about these things.

Strange things happened one after another. First, Yuner hanged herself, then Li Aishi died in the toilet, and Hong Zhengming was strangled. These are all related to life-size dolls in art galleries.

The horrible future is approaching to these young people, especially when all the evidence of Hui Mei falls on her. She is innocent, and it is hard to argue.

At this time, the woman in the wheelchair told the story that 6 years ago, after the death of the innocent man, the human form cursed to punish the murderer, and the ancestors of these young people were related to this death. The film reached its climax here, and the special effects made the woman in the wheelchair ferocious!

Are there any chances for the rest of Hui Mei and Daxing?

Myna, a doll with spirituality and kindness, has finally made her own choice, which is closely related to Hui Mei's childhood ...

Hui Mei, a selfish girl, has chosen a cruel and seemingly correct decision, just like too many ordinary people ...

Tears are washing away the hatred, which brings us back to the simplicity and persistence of childhood.

Perhaps, only the tears of death will keep you from leaving!

who can remember the things that they loved desperately, and where are they now?

About the "humanoid"

The so-called "humanoid" can be roughly understood as "the master who designs and makes dolls". The difference between "humanoid" and "puppet master" is that "puppet master" also includes people who pull puppets with strings, while "humanoid" only makes dolls.

There are many legends about the profession of "humanoid", which often appears in fantasy works such as animation and novels as a kind of mysterious work. The humanoid in animation and movies often plays the role of "the guide of others' fate", which is not directly involved in the story, but always overlooks everything with a bystander's smile, and at the same time leads the fate of the protagonists with evil interest, which usually appears evil and arrogant. In reality, "humanoid" simply refers to "the person who makes dolls". In modern times, when machines are gradually replacing handmade products, this kind of occupation is relatively rare. It is estimated that only in some countries and regions with backward industrial development or traditional love for "dolls" can we get dolls made by humanoid artists by hand.
