Top of my personal horror list!

When I was in high school, I had a video recorder at home, and I had the right to use it during the holidays. That was enough. Basically, I rented three movies a day on average, and then I called friends and did all kinds of bad things during adolescence, you know.

The most impressive list, the top three are as follows:

1. "Top Gun", yes! It's Tom! handsome! Hot blood!
2. "Deer and Ding Ji", yes! It's the version of Master Xing, laughing so much that my brother rolls and vomits blood!
3. Then there is "The Langoliers", I believe not many people in China have seen it.

At that time, video tapes were slowly coming to an end, and VCDs were becoming popular, and DVDs had not yet set foot on the historical stage of the mainland. I was watching a videotape that the owner of the rental shop had dubbed from nowhere.

I have another version of the ranking list, ranking the most terrifying horror movies in my personal history:
1. "The Langoliers"
2. "Hypnosis"
3. The American version of "The Ring"

OK, what is "The Langoliers"? How about a god movie that can rank among the top three on the two lists and win the title of the horror list?

I do not know either.

Really, this movie I watched more than ten years ago, I haven't seen it for the second time, but the deep impression is unforgettable, and I still shudder when I think about it.
But there are almost no horror scenes and pictures in the film in any pure sense.
The entire film is almost a daily place without any special treatment. The interior of the plane, the airport and the waiting hall, which are brightly lit and without special sets and props, occupy more than 90% of the scenes in the whole film.
Then there's the rambling mid-shot character dialogue.

It's just that after watching it, the buddies didn't dare to go home to sleep, and that night, the two little boys shivered and slept in each other's arms.

How should I put it, if the people who watch the film have divergent thinking and rich imagination, and usually think about some ultimate questions about the universe, the world, time, etc., or are often confused by beliefs, religions, etc., then wait. Be horrified!

Finally, please watch this film in a quiet environment and experience the desperate experience of falling into the gap of time...

    Novelty, just a little verbose

    The first half was ok, the back was too slow

The Langoliers quotes

  • Nick Hopewell: [after Albert has knocked C. Toomey unconscious] You did *this* with a toaster?

  • Craig Toomy: I have a meeting at Boston's Prudential Center at nine o'clock this morning! Promptly at nine o'clock! That's what's important. Now, I booked a seat on this conveyance in good faith, and I have no intention of being late for that appointment! Now, I have three questions for you. Number 1: who authorized an unscheduled stop for this airliner while I was asleep? Number 2: where that stop was made, and number 3: WHY, why was that done?

    Nick Hopewell: Did you ever watch Mr. Spock on Star Trek? Because if you don't shut your cakehole, you bloody idiot, I'll be only too happy to demonstrate his Vulcan sleeper hold for you.
