Introduction:

Tomoko, a female high school student, watched a video with her classmates of unknown origin. Seven days later, she and her classmates died one after another, which attracted the attention of female reporter Asakawa. She decided to investigate the cause of the incident. Asakawa learned that Tomoko had watched a video before his death and was hospitalized because of excessive terror, so he found the hotel where they watched the video, and sure enough, he saw a video without a name.

Asakawa then turned on the video recorder ... Asakawa's ex-husband Takayama came to her side at this time and copied a video and decided to study with her. At this point, they only have seven days to live. What amazing secrets will they face? Can they unveil the mystery of this video in a limited time of seven days?

Midnight Bell is adapted from Seven Nights of Mystery Story by the famous Japanese writer Yasuji Suzuki. This is a horror film that doesn't work in one go. Its plot is not bloody and horrible, but captures the audience's emotions and produces fantasies by creating a suspense atmosphere. Coupled with the excellent horror sound effects, the audience was so nervous that they could not breathe. When the film was released in Hong Kong in July, it became the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong with a total income of HK$ 3,654,380+0 million, breaking the records of New Year's films king of comedy and Glass Bottle, and even the prequel trilogy was far behind.

Introduction:

Died seven days later.

Katie, the niece of female journalist Keller (naomi watts), died suddenly and mysteriously. When Keller's sister attended her niece's funeral, she felt that her daughter died strangely and asked her to find out Katie's real cause of death with the help of journalists' relations and means. Shortly after the funeral, Keller heard a mysterious video from Katie's friend. It is said that everyone who has seen the video will die strangely after seven days.

Keller, who does not believe in evil, conducted an investigation. She found that three friends of her niece also died on the same day, and the exact time of death was 10 in the afternoon. The day before her death, the four of them went out to play together and spent the night in a cabin in the forest. Keller found the house and found the legendary video in the house.

Is there any mysterious connection between the death of four children and the video? Is the rumor true? In order to follow up, Keller put the tape into the video recorder ... The tape recorded some inexplicable intermittent pictures. After watching the tape, Keller received a mysterious phone call. There are only two vague and gloomy words on the other end of the phone: "Seven days ..."

The rumor is true! In a bad mood, Keller began to feel the terrible atmosphere around him. She has seven days to solve the mystery of this video, otherwise she will suffer the same fate as her niece-death. In desperation, Keller turns to her ex-boyfriend Noah (martin henderson) for help. Noah is an expert in photography and video technology. After studying the video several times, the two found a small clue, which took them to an island called Moesko, where strange elves hidden in the video full of resentment were about to appear. ...

[behind the scenes]

Gregor Verbinski, the director of the American version of The Ringing Bell at Midnight, was also the most famous work before, which was a thriller "Haunted House". He used many special effects in the film, creating an eerie atmosphere, which was very impressive. The Japanese version of The Ring of Midnight is one of the classic horror films in oriental culture. After the release, there was a "horror" upsurge in the whole Asian region. Hollywood producers who heard the news appreciated the theme very much and found a new cast to remake it. The production cost is as high as 60 million dollars, much higher than the Japanese version. Coupled with a director who is good at using special effects, I believe the audience will not be disappointed with the visual effects.

Most fans are most interested in the difference between the American version and the Japanese version. In fact, there is almost no difference between the two versions in the plot. It's all about a female reporter who saw a mysterious video, and everyone who saw it before will die strangely within 7 days. Finally, the reporter cracked the secret with the help of a friend. But maybe this is the difference between eastern and western cultures. In western horror films, the stimulation often comes from the eyes of the audience, while in eastern horror films, the stimulation often comes from the imagination of the audience. The excitement can't go away even if you leave the cinema for a long time. This is also the greatest mystery of the success of the Japanese novel The Ring of Midnight, which is to create a horror that comes from vision, but transcends vision and is rooted in everyone's consciousness. After the film premiered, some critics criticized the film for its lack of terror. For a western director, it is really a big challenge to grasp the essence of the original work, not because of the lack of strength, but because of the differences between the two cultures.

Naomi watts, the heroine of American version of Noon, is a new Australian actress in recent years. Before that, she played two roles in david lynch's Mulholland Road. Although the film didn't make her famous overnight, with the popularity of Mulholland Road at the Academy Awards, she also moved from an unknown little actress to an acting star. The Ring of the Midnight starring Watts is very similar to the original Ring of the Midnight starring Matsushima Nanako four years ago. Both of them are in an embarrassing state of being half red and not purple. Whether she is as lucky as Caicai and can step into the ranks of A-list stars as soon as she sells the movie depends on whether the audience can buy a remake.
