I rarely watch Korean horror movies, and Kunyanchi is the horror movie that impressed me the most this year. I say that because. . . Really freaked out. . .
The biggest feature of documentary horror films is that they give the audience a strong sense of substitution. The seemingly unprofessional photography and the shaky lens shape the feeling of being there. However, this method also makes the narrative line too single, and it is difficult for the main creator to lay out some side plots through the arrangement of multiple perspectives and multiple timelines. Therefore, most of these films still make a fuss about the atmosphere and horror effects. The advantage of Kunyan Pool is that on the premise that the horror effect of the main storyline has been done very well, the background of the branch line is relatively clearly explained, which not only increases the experience of the audience's deep thinking and fear, but also puts the horror in the concrete. In the historical scenes of the film, the age and spatial depth of the film have been greatly increased.
The pace of the first half of the film is indeed relatively slow, and the weird shots are very restrained. Since it is a documentary film, it is somewhat boring. The writer and director laid out the layout in a very restrained way, explaining the grouping of the various characters, the structure of the entire hospital, and some props that will become horror elements in the later stage (such as the writing on the wall, Formalin died Chickens, panties tied to numbers, spooky dolls, etc.).
The atmosphere when they first entered the hospital was completely relaxed. The whole group was talking and laughing. When others saw it, this was a live broadcast that was harmless to humans and animals. The next soul-calling ceremony, although unusual, these anomalies are actually man-made layouts, although a little scary, but judging from the expressions of several male characters in the film, it is obvious that they are ready.
The film's best horror arrangement is the seamless connection between this artificial horror and the real supernatural horror that emerges. There are two shots that impressed me a lot, one of them is putting his arm into the small hole, the boy put his arm into the small hole and pretended to be caught, but he broke free and came out. The girl stretched her arm in, but it was full of blood stains, and the atmosphere immediately became tense and dignified; the second is the next scene, the boy is playing with a pre-made rag doll, and the other girl has no warning. Feeling out of control and eventually leaving the team. After this set of plots, the rhythm of the whole film suddenly accelerated. In the ten-minute plot, they were all controlled or possessed by the evil spirits in Kunyan Pool (the most profound impact was the sudden big beauty contact + weird murmurs Whispering), the whole plot and picture took on the sudden panic, and it was very sour in one go.
In addition to facing the horror that stimulates the perception, Kunyanchi is also characterized by placing terrifying scenes in a psychiatric hospital with great historical and political significance, and this psychiatric hospital and the dark politics in Korean history can even be compared with the previous Big Sister Park. Get in touch. This can resonate with the Korean people as the main audience. This way of reflecting on returning to history with a thriller is very popular now, and it reminds me of the well-received Taiwanese game "Back to School" some time ago, and even the stories of "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes" and "Green Corpse" in the Mainland. Although I don't know much about Korean history, combining the dark and oppressive periods experienced in history with horrific images and footage will undoubtedly further prolong the audience's sense of terror.
Most of the horror scenes are still quite amazing, but in the end, the male captain entered the hospital and encountered a female ghost in the hospital. The scene where the female ghost faced the screen was a bit of a failure (there is a strong sense of sight in the horror scripture), and this scene is the last scene. The finale shot is also a pity.
Girls are generally good-looking. I like the girl named Charlotte, but her acting skills are basically invisible. The girls in horror movies are basically vases.
The boy's appearance is not low, and the performance of the supernatural phenomenon is also very real for the first time. What's even more awesome is that these actors naturally show from the artificial panic to the stupid, and then to the near death. During this process, it is natural to bargain with the captain, and by the way, I also discussed human nature, which is quite good.
