Do you feel that European and American horror films only have bloody violence and are far less scary than Asian horror films?
When it comes to European and American horror movies, the usual impression that audiences have is nothing more than the perverted murderer who hunts down boys and girls with axes, axes, hooks and various weapons, all kinds of blood and the strange deaths of the victims. The method constitutes all European and American bloody movies.
As early as the 1960s, master of suspense Hitchcock filmed the movie "Psycho" based on real events. The scene where the heroine was killed by a perverted killer while taking a bath frightened many viewers. This started a precedent for the horrific treatment of homicide cases.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the United States produced four horror films: "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "Black Friday", "Moonlight" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", thus defining the concept of a tall, perverted killer. The story mode is about hunting down residents with a body and a sharp weapon.
During the period from 2000 to 2015, American psychotic killer movies reached their peak, including "The Turn", "Hatchet", "Cannibal", "The Mountain Has Eyes" and "Scream" "Skin Inn" and other movies were released in succession. Due to the low production cost, these movies were mostly released on discs, and bloody movies became synonymous with B-level movies.

Blonde beauties with protruding busts, showing the audience various welfare shots, muscular men with well-developed limbs and simple minds, male protagonists who are harmless to humans and animals and have simple thoughts, and all kinds of annoying words The supporting roles basically make up the list of perverted killers.
In addition to the composition of the staff, he also received complaints from the audience for his anxious behavior such as going into the haunted house knowing it was a haunted house, splitting up when the people were chasing him, and not refilling his gun after killing the monster. Gory horror films are increasingly moving in the direction of comedy.
In 2012, a movie called "The Cabin in the Woods" took the routines of European and American bloody movies to the extreme.
The protagonists in the film have basically above-average IQs. They know that splitting up will lead to fatalities. When the supporting actors want to contribute welfare scenes, they also complain that the weather is too cold. After counter-killing the monster, he still dismembered it without finishing the last hit.
The most commendable thing is that the film pays tribute to dozens of horror films from the East and the West, including the giant monster in "Anaconda", Sadako in "The Ring", "Silent Hill" The scalp-numbing demons in "Raising Ghosts and Eating People" include the werewolves, piranhas, clowns and other horror characters in folklore.
The film becomes a carnival of monster fights.
Coupled with the addition of "Brother Hammer" who had not yet become Thor, the film is still talked about today.
There are five protagonists in the first story. The staff configuration is exactly the same as that of other American horror films. They are the hot blonde girl, the hammer brother with well-developed limbs, and the flat-headed brother who looks like a supporting role at first glance. , the addict curly brother, the silly red-haired girl.
Brother Zhui led everyone to his cousin's cabin in the old forest. During the process of refueling, a wretched uncle kept hinting that several people were going to be unlucky, which undoubtedly cast a cloud over the trip.
Like other haunted houses, everyone found a bloody oil painting in the wooden house. Under the oil painting was a mirror that peeked into each other's rooms. Everyone praised Brother Hammer's cousin for his perverted hobbies.
In the evening, they were bored and played truth or dare. The blonde sister was punished and kissed passionately with a stuffed wolf head. When Chacha saw this, he suspected that the wolf head would suddenly resurrect and bite the blonde sister to death, but nothing happened.
The protagonist group does not know that all their activities are constantly monitored by a group of mysterious department staff. This group of staff seems to be able to control external conditions such as weather and temperature. The protagonist and his party seem to be in their hands. plaything.
The red-haired girl was punished and sent to the basement.
In the basement, several people discovered various mysterious props. The red-haired girl read out an ancient book written in Latin, but unexpectedly summoned a family of zombies buried deep underground.
Just when Brother Hammer and Sister Blonde were preparing to give the audience a fun performance in the wild, they didn't expect zombies to come out, and Sister Blonde was even dismembered on the spot.
Brother Zhui, who had a chance to escape, joined the remaining three people. The zombies here were chasing them crazily, and the staff in front of the monitor over there also added fuel to the fire and used mechanisms to trap several people in rooms.
Curly Brother discovered the hidden camera of the staff. When he thought he was participating in a reality show, he was dragged out of the window by zombies.
The remaining three people hurriedly got into the RV. Just when everyone thought they had escaped and ascended to heaven, the staff of the mysterious department blew up the tunnel.
Brother Zhui suggested that he imitate Ke Shouliang and ride a motorcycle across the canyon to find support, but he did not want to crash into an invisible wall and die.
The car fell into the lake, and just when the red-haired girl was about to be killed, Brother Curly arrived in time and saved the red-haired girl. At the same time, he told the red-haired girl the secret that someone had released a monster to kill them.
The two opened the mechanism of the wooden house, but accidentally entered the transmission elevator of the mysterious mechanism. As the elevator operated, they discovered various monsters and evil spirits.
The two finally figured out that the various props they saw in the basement represented what kind of monsters they would encounter.
The mysterious department discovered the two people who broke into the interior. When the troops of the mysterious department defended the two protagonists, the furious red-haired girl released the monsters in the transport box, and the whole room instantly became a sea of ??blood.
The two red-haired girls took advantage of the chaos and came to the altar. The head of the department told them the truth of the matter: they were sacrifices to the ancient evil god. Only their death could alleviate the evil god's anger and bring about World peace.
Now the red-haired girl only needs to kill Brother Curly, and the evil god will not cause trouble in the world. When the red-haired girl hesitates, werewolves and zombies suddenly appear. During the fight, the head of the department falls into the abyss. .
The two seriously injured people knew that they were about to die soon, and watched helplessly as the evil god raised his hand across the sky. The world is about to be destroyed.
End of story
The 2012 "The Cabin in the Woods" is definitely a New Year's Eve dinner among horror movies. The counter-routine is the biggest feature of "The Cabin in the Woods". The more you think about it, What will happen will happen to him the less likely it will happen.
The film *** is divided into two story lines: the heroine and the mysterious department. The mysterious department originally thought that the heroine and her party would be slaughtered one by one like the cannon fodder characters in ordinary feature films, but obviously everyone has high IQs and couldn't fall into the trap at all.
So the department staff could only use various props to force the protagonist and his party to submit, while also creating a lot of laughs for the movie.
Sadako was purified by a group of elementary school students and turned into a little frog, which is full of irony.
Unlike other characters whose IQs are not online, the muscular man played by Brother Zhui not only has well-developed limbs, but is also a top student.
When the blonde sister and Brother Hammer who were in charge of welfare were having sex in the wild, they even warned whether it would be unsafe in the countryside.
As the heroine, the red-haired girl is responsible for the force of the film. She can survive being thrown by zombies and bitten by werewolves.

As the highlight of the film, based on Chacha’s many years of experience in horror films, "The Cabin in the Woods" pays tribute to more than 40 horror films. In some studios, the film has given scenes with the names of monsters. .
In addition to some obvious monsters, such as Sadako, zombies, etc., Chacha has selected several more representative monsters for everyone to enjoy (because some monster images are too scary for review, Chacha just (No more pictures):
1. The teleportation box where the two heroines are located pays homage to the brain-burning thriller movie "The Panic Cube"
2. The man with the blade holding the Rubik's Cube is from The messenger of "Raising ghosts and eating people".
3. The ballerina girl with a face full of teeth is inspired by "Silent Hill"
4. The prototype of the tentacles that sweep away department personnel is from "Deep Chill"
5. The ancient evil god who appears at the end of the film is actually designed in the style of Cthulhu
Unfortunately, the story of "The Cabin in the Woods" ended abruptly when the ancient evil god appeared. Due to the unsatisfactory box office , the film studio shelved the filming plan for the sequel of the film, which is really a pity.
