At the 22nd Shanghai International Film Festival, I was really surprised to see Kun Chiyan in the screening list. It is really rare to see a real horror thriller in mainland theaters, not to mention a visually frightening and funny movie like Kun Chiyan, so I decided to place an order.
Let’s briefly evaluate this movie first. Kunchiyan is undoubtedly qualified as a horror movie. The pseudo-documentary style has increased the horror atmosphere. Although the sudden scary method is a bit malicious, you can't surpass it when you are looking for excitement. After watching it for the second time, I felt that the performance of the chaos of time and space in the Kunchiyan architecture was very exciting, not exactly like playing a haunted house for 90 minutes. 8 points pass.
Here is an introduction to the viewing experience of SIFF Kunchiyan. There are no screenshots in this article, please read it with confidence?
This time I went there were mostly girls. And there are many girls who are skinny or Lolita. Like me and my girlfriend, who look tall and big, in fact, watching the movie is embarrassing, it is the birthplace of screaming. At the same time, there are also some elderly people and aunts. Shanghai people really like movies, but are they really ready for Kunchiyan? I doubt. . .
After being seated, the boys in the front row of me should have come together. Is there a brother in the middle who lost the game? Did you bring noise-cancelling headphones on purpose? ?
I saw the movie Kun Chiyan once before when it came out. Four boys screamed in terror in the dormitory. This movie is full of deep malice. But the girlfriend next to me is watching it for the first time. She didn't watch horror movies before she met me, but she was on me, and she couldn't avoid it. Under my leadership, she has seen one or two movies as an introduction.
It didn't take long for the movie to start, and the theater attendance rate was very high. Most of the people came to see it with friends or at the same time. They are like-minded people, hhh?, but some people came alone.
After the movie starts, the first half of the movie is relaxed and happy, and everyone will follow along with the laughs. Until the scene where the hand was caught in the cabinet, it began to be high energy. According to my observation, 20% of the audience will scream loudly, and 50% will exclaim. This is actually lower than I expected. Probably half of the people have seen it like me, or are masters of horror movies. But to be honest, the people who have watched it once have no memory of it except for the big eyes, and many people who have watched it again have a very frightening thrill.
Shortly after the high-energy plot started, a few people started to leave the stage hahaha? The aunt next to us suddenly got up after searching for something, turned her back to the screen, and walked towards the exit. You could feel her panic as she left, the heels wobbled as they stomped in front of my seat, almost stepping on me. There was also a young couple in front of them who also left early. I didn't see whether the boy was pulling the girl or the opposite? my girlfriend her. . . She was the one who made the most of the atmosphere. In the second half, she almost completely turned her body and hugged me, and she didn't let go of her screams at all. I'm fine, no serious scratches and breathing is fine. After watching the movie, I realized that most of the terrifying girlfriends had closed their eyes in time, so I watched the beginning, but I was also very scared.
At the end of the film, although it was a vicious film like Kun Chiyan, everyone still did not forget to give applause. Those who left were either excited or confused. I heard the boy with noise reduction in front say happily, he didn't see anything behind him and didn't hear anything?. So having said so much, Sony noise-cancelling headphones, are you excited?
