Comment on the Top Ten Western "Horror Movies"

Exorcist (1977)

Director: William Frigin

Adapted from a novel by William Buddy. The story begins at an archaeological site in Iran, where many strange things happened. Father Merlin's intuition told him that if darkseid wanted to return to the earth, a big war was inevitable. The only question is: where will it happen? . . . . . As soon as the camera turned, I came to Washington. Reagan McNeil is a child of 12 years old. His favorite toy is a divining board. Through the game, she met a friend-Howdy. Then, something strange happened in McNeil's house, and Reagan became insane. After a painful test, they realized that Regan was not herself, and doctors all over the United States could do nothing about it until a doctor recommended Karras, the exorcist. Good God, evil God and devil, who is the final winner, the movie will tell.

This is a classic horror film, which was once all the rage. The effect of the film is real and the atmosphere is horrible, which undoubtedly makes this film a fascinating masterpiece at any time. The film won ten Academy Awards (best adapted screenplay and best sound effect) and four Golden Globe Awards (best director, best film, best sound effect and best supporting actress).

This film describes the demon Satan owned by a 12-year-old girl who kills people on earth. Adults are obsessed with this. At that time, the United States was in the midst of defeat in Vietnam and Watergate, so Americans were shrouded in disappointment, deception and pessimism. The horror mysticism advocated by this film is undoubtedly an anesthetic for trauma. Because of the horror, many people fainted when they looked at it.

Texas chainsaw massacre, Texas, Texas (1974)

Director: Toby Hawthorne

Sally and four of his friends went to visit his grandfather's grave. On the way, they picked up a hitchhiker. Unexpectedly, this man suddenly went crazy, and Sally and his gang had to leave him and keep walking. At last they came to the house where Sally once lived. Unfortunately, hitchhikers were waiting for them there, and a massacre began.

The story prototype of "texas chainsaw massacre, Texas" comes from 1957 American murderer edward gein in Planfield, Wisconsin. Movies with the theme of edward gein incident have emerged one after another for a long time, especially his cruel way of sewing a "leather face" with human skin, which has been vividly portrayed in many horror films, and even The Silence of the Lambs has been deeply influenced by it. People think that it, together with night of the living dead and The Exorcist, started a new era of modern horror movies. But there is too much violence and blood in the film, which makes the film controversial all the time.

Night of the living dead (1968)

Director: george romero

The radiation from the falling satellite revived the dead. They got up from the graves, looking for the living for food. People nearby hid in a farmhouse. They were frightened, and there were cold ghosts outside-staggering closer and closer-trying to kill them. And only by hitting them on the head can we completely destroy them. ...

This low-budget black-and-white film lasted for 90 minutes and was shot in Pittsburgh. This is thrilling and suffocating, and it is still like a nightmare at that time. George romero, the director, has established his status as a scary movie master because of this film.

If you have seen the movie night of the living dead, you will be close to that particularly horrible emotion: plans and suggestions that everyone thinks are dead keep crawling out of the grave, staggering back to memory and eating the brains of the living.

Halloween (1978)

Directed by John Caput.

Halloween is on 1963. Michael myers, a 6-year-old boy from Hardenfield, killed his sister with a kitchen knife. When his parents found him, he was staring at the sky with a bloody murder weapon in his hand. Michael Myers was sent to a mental hospital. Despite his best efforts, Dr Samuel loomis just sat and stared at the sky for 15 years.

1978 12.30, it seems that there is a magical force driving Michael to leave there. In the storm, he stole the car of Dr. Samuel loomis and Nurse Marion, and went back to Hardenfield, where he stole a white mask. Laurie Stouder, the daughter and student of a real estate agent, found that Michael talked about her all day for some reason, but she didn't know him. When Dr. loomis and the sheriff frantically searched for Michael, he didn't know that Laurie was taking care of the children Lindsay and Tommy, nor did he know that Laurie's friends Annie, Linda and Bob had disappeared one after another. ...

Director John. Caput. Describe Halloween, the cold mask killer. 1 1 year, this series has been filmed for five episodes, and each episode is bloodier than the last.

Sharping people (1980)

Director: stanley kubrick

Jack torrance (Jack Nicholson) is a writer. In order to get rid of the frustration at work, he decided to take over a luxurious mountain hotel. It's a big house in a remote place, and it smells gloomy everywhere. It is said that its former manager lost his mind for no reason and killed his family. Jack didn't take it seriously. He just wanted to find a quiet place to concentrate on his writing. So, despite the advice of his friend Danny (Danny Lloyd), he moved to this hotel with his wife Wendy (Celie Dewar). They made new rules, and Jack also set up a lounge for his own creation. However, the strangeness gradually emerged from the calm surface. Jack began to frequent the hotel bars, looking for his past and recalling those bloody pictures in his mind; Abnormal things finally happened inevitably. ...

This film, directed by stanley kubrick and adapted from a best-selling horror novel in Stephen King, is considered too wise by many fans of Kim, but it is precisely because of its wisdom that it has become a horror film with extraordinary psychological offensive. Kubrick took all of us on a bumpy and bizarre journey and entered the crazy inner world of a novelist (played by Jack Nicholson). The protagonist, his wife and children live in an empty hotel trapped by heavy snow. The heavy and grotesque silence around the hotel makes the audience feel claustrophobic. In order to depict the plot more vividly, Kubrick ruthlessly degenerated a seemingly gentle man into a savage like an animal.

Mysterious story (1965)

Director: Masaki Kobayashi

In fact, the so-called mystery stories are a series of stories told by China people. This film consists of four ghost stories. I especially appreciate Snow Girl and Fang Yi Without Ears. Snow girl's scenery is surprisingly beautiful, just like Ukiyo-e picture books, rich and exaggerated. The eyes painted in the sky are about to drop oil paint; Finally, when Snow Girl escaped, the sun in the sky was full of mysterious evocation. Fang Yi without Ears shows us the heritage of Japanese elegant music. Fang Yi's Pipa Trip, noisy and earnest, vividly depicts the tragic and tragic ancient battlefield. The soundtrack of this movie is Toru Takemitsu, a famous modern Japanese musician, who adds atmosphere to the whole movie.

Comparing Kurosawa and Masaki Kobayashi carefully, I found that the former is western-style thinking in his bones. The theme of humanitarianism and absurdity became Sartre's footnote. I don't like preaching in movies, but Akira Kurosawa likes to give stories a distinct theme. Si Mazhao's heart is well known. At best, it is just a Japanese Zhang Yimou. But Masaki Kobayashi is natural in expressing traditional themes. It fully shows a school of oriental wisdom that has not been polluted by western rationality. Several ghost stories are told in a scattered way, and the descriptive elements greatly exceed the narrative. Instead of rudely guiding the audience to pry open the phenomenon and explore the essence according to the director's thinking, he gave the audience a pair of observation eyes and let the audience experience the Zen machine in the illusory story.

Vampire Nosferatu (1922)

Director: F·W· Monau

The vampire story is the most frequently adapted theme in film history, and even many mummy stories are based on braam stock's novel Drakula. Among them, the most nightmare vampire image comes from Germany in the 1920s. 1922 German silent film "Vampire Nosferatu", the famous director Mao nao used a lot of wide-angle lenses to reverse the vampire. When the tall, hunched Nosferatu arrived by boat, he reached out his sickle-like hand and jumped at the audience directly from the screen. His ears stood upright and his eyes glared at the sharp sky, so that many viewers were afraid to go home after watching the movie.

This film is an important work of early German expressionist films. The film was shot outside the desolate castle. The description of the vampire's haggard, sunken eyes, protruding teeth, hunched shoulders and pointed ears is far more real than imagined. Those gloomy eyes that seem to know everything but are a little timid, those slender fingers and long nails, and that wretched and aggressive posture make everyone who sees him shudder.

Corpse (1983)

Director: Sam Raimi

Five college students agreed to explore the forest in Tennessee. In the forest, they found a lonely hut and planned to spend the weekend in it. Unfortunately, our hero found a tape and a book-The Book of Death. When they played the tape, the devil's curse appeared and the door of hell opened. The book of death, soaked in human blood, describes the ancient ritual of awakening evil souls. As a result, those poor students were controlled one by one and became terrible demons. The only thing survivors can do is to kill their former friends. Who will be controlled by the devil and who will survive this horrible night?

This film is not only full of naked and disgusting bloody scenes, but also the horror scenes and atmosphere it creates are first-class. It can be said that from the beginning of the film, you are highly concentrated and nervous, and many camera movements are also the key factors used to create a horrible atmosphere in the film. In the film, the lens sometimes seems to become the devil's eyes, moving with the body.

At the time of filming, director Sam was still a high school student. He and several of his high school classmates raised about $370,000 from investors and spent three months shooting this film, which was originally named "The Book of Death". By changing the ever-changing corpse into a description of the devil playing with people, you are filled with thrilling scenes. This film is first-class in both shooting techniques and scene production, all of which show the genius of the director.

Evil wind bursts (1977)

Director: dario argento

Italian horror movie master dario argento's most famous works. This is a film with a very unique style, which is called the most elegant horror film in film history. An American girl came to a ballet school in Europe and was greeted by a series of murders. The use of music, blurred light and lens by Italian masters has brought unprecedented new experience to the audience.

As long as you persist for ten minutes, you will be as safe as at home. The close-up of the sharp knife piercing the beating heart of the victim in the film is unanimously regarded as the most vicious killing scene. Dario Argento is different from other directors. His works always catch the audience's eye, and then take advantage of the audience's carelessness to surprise them. This skill makes him a unique figure in the film industry.

Psychotic patients (1960)

Director: Hitchcock

This film can be regarded as the mother of all modern horror movies. How many viewers are scared to take a bath alone by perverted killers and well-known bathroom killing scenes? The murder in the bathroom only took more than a minute and was used more than 50 times. The flashing figure outside the shower curtain, the heroine's frightened eyes, waving daggers, black blood and flowing flowers, these classic shots have nothing to do with the nausea and sound of modern horror movies, but they firmly grasp the audience's horror complex and become a model in the history of movies. In his own words, he has a strange fear of life. He believes that terrible things not only lurk in the shadows or when we are alone, but sometimes when we are with decent and friendly people, we feel very lonely, dangerous and isolated.

Unlike modern horror films, Hitchcock's films are shocking. There are no monsters, all the terror exists, and it happens between people. Moreover, there are no disgusting pictures such as rivers of blood and distortion in the film. It is entirely because of his ingenious plot arrangement, excellent actors' performance, and the unique music soundtrack of Hitchcock's films that his signature was formed.
