There is a new film recently,Friends who like horror movies or thrillers can test their courage. The good news is that it is being released in domestic cinemas. Let's start with a play. Late at night, ** returned to the rented community, and she noticed that a mother might be abusing her daughter at home. So he stepped forward to stop him.

Sister. The little girl's voice was very weak, as if she was crying for help. ** turned around, but was stupid by the scene in front of him.

The scars covered the child's face at a speed visible to the naked eye. It's ......There are ghosts?And this film is a slogan, but it is

What kind of story is this?

The film "Illumination Shop", adapted from the Korean manga artistGinger grassThe comic of the same name. This cartoonist must say a few more words. This year's big hit Korean drama"Super Aliens"., the emotional blockbuster "I Love You!", which harvested the audience's tears not long agoare all adapted from his comic works.

There is a comic book base, and the movie "Lighting Store" does have a lot of highlights.

Watching "Lighting Store", you will get a very rare experience:I was able to watch horror movies in domestic cinemas

In the first half, the horror atmosphere of the film is really good. The premise of the story is very similar to many horror movies:MovingXu Nian(played by Zhang Ruonan) and her boyfriendZheng Man(played by Bai Yufan) moved into a new apartment. At the end of the alley, there is a "lighting shop", mysteriousBoss(played by Liu Yijun) guards the store. Very strangely, he only sells light bulbs.

And what's even weirder,Since moving here, Xu Nian has been constantly "hitting ghosts" one after another

For example:A mother and daughterZhu Xiaomei(played by Liu Yan) with his daughterJiang Zhuzhu(played by Chen Sinuo) depends on each other. During the day, Mei is very polite. But at night, she often becomes hideous.

Xu Nian also found that Xiaomei would wear gloves no matter what she did. When others looked at her hand, she was like a great enemy. Even,Xu Nian also saw the scene of Xiaomei dragging the child to the room, her actions were like dealing with some garbage. It's definitely not like what a mother does.

Because of compassion, Xu Nian knocked on Xiaomei's door ......

And there isA pair of sisters。It may not be accurate to say that. Because, Xu Nian only saw one woman from beginning to endLiu Yushan(played by Sun Meilin).

But, what makes it creepy is that. Whenever Xu Nian looked at the ground,She saw two more shadows

And one moreUncle

Mr. Jiang(played by Zhang Qi) is often in a state of nervous tension. He was holding a yellow umbrella and was walking through the alley. The neighbors heard someone singing a nursery rhyme

Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of small stars, hanging in the sky, shining brightly, like thousands of small eyes
The song is low and poignant. Slowly, people found out that the children's song here was sung by Mr. Jiang.

Teacher Jiang also sent a request to Xu Nian.

Can you tell me what's behind me?

It's not over yet. Between the deep alleys, there was a "prowler", who seemed to be seriously injured and had a lot of sand on his body. His only wish was to find these people. Not only outside, but also Xu Nian's home has problems:There will always be a puddle of water on the ground that will reaccumulate after each wiping

Things are getting more and more wicked. The idea of "The Illumination Store" is very clear, first to create an eerie atmosphere, and then slowly unveil the worldview.

Xu Nian has been trying to figure out why there are so ghosts around the apartment they rentThe person who may know the secret may be the owner of "The Lighting Store".

And when Xu Nian went to inquire about the information, he was puzzledThis boss really seems familiar.

The boss is a taciturn person, and when he saw Xu Nian, he only implicitly persuaded her to leave here.

You shouldn't come here.

This is a special space, at the intersection of life and death, where two groups live: souls who are unwilling to leave, and people who cannot let go.

They linger here because of obsession。The owner wipes the light bulbs every day in the shop, and they are also divided into two categories: light bulbs and broken light bulbs. The boss uses this to discern between life and death. Judging from the story, "The Illumination Store" is quite strongSuspense filmAttribute. Therefore, it is not appropriate to be spoiled. Pai Ye only uses a group of characters as an example:Liu Yushan & Liu Jiayi(played by Sun Qian).。These should also be the two characters that many fans of the original book are most concerned about.

…I'm a spoiler .........At the beginning, Xu Nian only saw Liu Yushan and the two shadows on the ground.

In the second half of the film, the identities of the two began to be slowly revealed. They are called sisters and have a very close relationship。The dispute between the two was because Liu Jiayi listened to the persuasion of her family and prepared to go home for a blind date.

Liu Yushan was sad and disappointed because the other party failed to keep her promise, and got on the bus angrily, and Liu Jiayi also followed, sitting behind her silently.

But unexpectedly, the bus was hit by a van. Passengers ** were heavy. Back in the psychic space that exists in the "Lighting Store", the surviving Liu Yushan wanders here, and Carama Lau's soul silently guards her behind her, just like in the real world. And she didn't know it.

As a result, many of the previous mysteries have been explained. For example, Liu Yushan will faintly feel that there are people behind her.

In the movie, there is still some foreshadowing. For example, the lights in Liu Yushan's house will go out on their own, which is a sign of death. What Pai Ye can also say is that the relationship between the two has not been adapted into "socialist sisterhood", and it can be maintained as it is now, which can be regarded as a small breakthrough in the scale of domestic films.

In addition, the same goes for other groups. The relationship between each pair of characters is quite touching, about love, or family affection. And the doubts you see in the horror film stage will be answered one by one in the follow-up.

In terms of completion, "Lighting Store" is still good. Of course, the film still has many regrets.

As a commercial film, "Lighting Store" certainly wants to take the genre of horror films to the extreme. But for well-known reasons,It had to be like now, and the second half was processed out of a "warm film".。Moreover, in addition to "scary" and "tear-jerking", the film also put a lot of thought into the theme. It wants to ** is:Is the end of life death?The film also gives a certain explanation through the relationship between the four groups of characters-

People die, and as long as there are others who remember, they do not disappear.
This view of death is very reminiscent of "Dream Travel".

From this angle, "Lighting Store" is also a rare work with death education significance in domestic films.

What's the problem?Pai Ye thinks that there is still room for improvement in the content presentation of the film. From the current works, the passages of horror films are too short, and the parts of warm films are too long. Moreover, the main creator does not seem to have more confidence in the audience, and will take the trouble to sort out the details and complete some kind of correspondence. Because there are too many explanations, it also slows down the pace of the story, which makes the audience feel long or bored

An example can be taken.

Korean movie "Happy Family", Douban 86 points. The story is about a down-and-out youthShanwan(played by Cha Tae-hyun) has repeatedly attempted suicideLater, when he woke up in the hospital, he found that he could see ghosts- "Uncle Smoker", "Crying Aunt", "Grandpa", and "Foodie Imp". Moreover, they also stuck to Shang Wan.

The provocation of ghosts often makes Shang Wan lose face in front of the public.

This has also become the best comedy in this film. And in order to take these ghosts away, Shang Wan had to help them fulfill their unfulfilled wishes.

It wasn't until near the end of the film that the film came to a "reversal"-It turned out that these ghosts were his relatives.

Even when they die, they still want to be by his side。The reason for the huge success of "Happy Family" is the clever structure, which devotes a lot of space to a horror comedy, and then closes it shortly, bringing a sense of wonder and giving the audience plenty of room for imagination. In Paiye's opinion, what "Lighting Store" lacks is this aftertaste feeling. But in any case, the appearance of this film fills some gaps in domestic films, which is very worthy of encouragement. Pai Ye also wants Amway to make this movie to everyone. If you're a fan of horror movies, or a fan of the original manga, The Illuminated Store is especially worth watching.
