Late at night, with the help of alcohol to strengthen his courage, Jia Wenbin finally finished watching this movie "Crying".
He usually never has the habit of watching movies while eating or drinking, but who knows, Jia Wenbin has never felt that a movie can really scare him before.
Until the end, when a simple cast list passed by and the real photos and videos of the demolition site of Nanhua Private Renji Hospital appeared aside, Jia Wenbin still had an unreal feeling.
Although what appears at the end is a bit ridiculous, it looks so real, as if it is lurking under the bed or in the cupboard.
What's more, apart from the suggestive scenes and horrifying images, the most terrifying thing about this movie is that it shows the ugliest side of human nature.
Is the real culprit the monster that can turn dead people into walking zombies?
No, the real culprit should be the director of the hospital, the doctor who wanted to violate the taboo.
It can be said that even if there are no monsters, these people may use other means to achieve their goals.
And ask yourself, if you didn't know the true consequences of this monster, if you were in that position and could master the technology of bringing people back to life, Jia Wenbin is not sure whether he would do the same thing.
The most frightening thing is always the human heart.
After sighing, Jia Wenbin reached out to pick up the wine glass.
But he found that his hands were shaking slightly.
Holding down his left hand with his right hand, Jia Wenbin was able to drink the last bit of wine in the glass.
"There is nothing particularly commendable about this movie simply in terms of plot arrangement, but its advantages lie in the shooting technology, special effects, and great atmosphere creation. It is an excellent work in the horror genre."
Jia Wenbin has made commercial films and is not as arrogant as the old school. He knows very well that there is only one evaluation criterion for horror films, and that is whether it scares people. As long as it scares people, it is a good film.
And Lu Jian's "The Cry" is undoubtedly a very good horror film.
"It looks like there is really going to be a dark horse in this year's film festival selection."
Jia Wenbin didn't know why, but when he thought about the reactions of his colleagues and students when they saw this movie, he felt a little gloating.
...
On November 20th, the ten-day Yannan University Student Film Festival opened.
Several cinemas in Yannan will take turns to play the film festival's entries and nominations. Due to the special nature of the works, many independent films and college students' films will earn higher profits than normal theater broadcasts, with yields as high as four
become.
Among them, the work that the audience is looking forward to is undoubtedly "Spring Night is Short". The director of this film, Lin Mo, is only 25 years old this year. His graduation project film "Wonderful Weekend" the year he just graduated won the Yannan University Student Award.
He won the Gold Award for Student Film at the Film Festival. Later, he shot some commercials and short plays, and this year he made a big-screen movie.
This movie also gives college students and young people a sense of empathy. It tells the story of several college friends who encountered various social setbacks, sinking, confusion, and abjection after graduation. It has a very sad literary flavor.
As for Lu Tan's "Crying", although it was mentioned in "Film Report" before, it is a relatively professional industry magazine after all. Ordinary viewers don't know that much about it. Those who don't pay attention to online movies and don't browse old video websites.
The audience has a very shallow impression of Lu Jian.
The 20th, the first day of screening.
According to the rules, movies of the same specifications are played in turn, and the schedule of several movies is basically the same, with no difference.
The first scene of "Crying" was moved to 9:10.
This is a somewhat awkward time, because it’s almost eleven o’clock after a movie, most shopping malls are closed, and the subway is almost the last train, so more people choose the eight o’clock movie.
Of course, there are some exceptions.
For example, Bai Qiquan from Yannan University of Technology, he and his girlfriend Pang Zhen originally planned to buy tickets for the eight o'clock movie "College Entrance Examination! College Entrance Examination! College Entrance Examination!", but they didn't expect that everyone was too strong to grab tickets on the first day, and they still
There was a scalper entering the market, so he didn't buy it.
The two of them thought about it and decided that they could only buy "Crying" which was shown at nine o'clock.
"It's a horror movie. Don't you dare to go back to the dormitory alone when the time comes?"
Bai Qiquan came to the entrance of the cinema and joked with his girlfriend.
"Haha, last time I watched a ghost movie, who held my hand the whole time and didn't dare to look at the screen?"
Pang Zhen sneered.
There were quite a lot of spectators at the nine o'clock show, and there were already many people sitting in the ticket collection hall, many of them young people like them.
After all, it is a horror movie, and it is played at night, so it is viewed from the perspective of young people seeking excitement.
"The ticket has been checked."
When it was time, the cinema staff shouted and everyone lined up.
"Tell me, are we the only ones here at nine o'clock?"
Bai Qiquan looked at the empty corridor in front of him, feeling a little guilty.
He felt that the cinema should not be so quiet.
"No way, aren't there a lot of people waiting over there?"
Pang Zhen pointed to one side.
Bai Qiquan looked over and found that there was no one there.
"Where are they from?"
He asked immediately.
"It's right there. It's a group of people. Do they belong to some unit? They all wear the same clothes. It's a team building thing, right?"
Pang Zhen said seriously.
Bai Qiquan felt a chill running down his spine, as if the people in front and behind him looked at him inappropriately.
At this time, his girlfriend couldn't hold back her laughter.
"Did you just lie to me?"
Bai Qiquan was a little embarrassed.
"Do you want me to take you back to the dormitory later?"
Pang Zhen smiled brightly.
The two of them entered the cinema and sat down. They took a look and found that it was full.
After the commercial, the video starts.
Speaking of watching horror movies, Bai Qiquan has seen some, but this is his first time watching a horror movie in a cinema.
But with so many people watching it together, it shouldn’t be scary anymore.
Bai Qiquan soon discovered that he was very wrong.
Give an example.
For example, when he watches a horror movie at home, when he encounters a scary part, he either cuts the scene, looks elsewhere, or even fast-forwards. Anyway, he can avoid it.
But in a movie theater, or next to his girlfriend, Bai Qiquan couldn't do this.
He could only open his eyes wide and watch the nurse in the picture walking step by step in the quiet corridor of the hospital.
Subconsciously, Bai Qiquan wanted to grasp his girlfriend's hand that was held in his right hand.
But at this time, he found that she held on tighter.
"No, I have to muster up the courage!"
Bai Qiquan encouraged himself in his heart.
Then he saw the old man in the intensive care unit waving mechanically at the audience on the camera side.
For a moment, a chill surged up from his stomach. Bai Qiquan felt that all the hairs on his body stood up. He wanted to scream, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't make a sound. He could only hold his daughter tightly.
Friend's hand.
At this time, Bai Qiquan felt very regretful, very very regretful.
