Chapter 556： Fear

Hollywood, near the Walk of Fame, Queen's Theater.

The time was around 8 o'clock in the evening. Tom and his girlfriend Peggy had dinner together, went shopping, bought something, and hurried to the theater.

Because Tom made preparations in advance and knew the movie schedule of this theater, as soon as he entered, he just caught up with "Dead Silence" to be shown in Hall 1.

Tom's girlfriend, Peggy, is a slightly chubby, well-built white girl who feels quite cheerful.

But after listening to Tom talking about watching "Dead Silence", Peggy saw the spooky doll on the movie poster with the horror theme written on it, and quickly said, "I don't like this kind of movie, it's scary to watch."

"Don't worry, I'm with you."

Tom said so, but thought to himself: If you weren't afraid, I'd be wasting my time.

You know, "Dead Silence" is definitely not a movie suitable for couples to watch, you can get a glimpse of it from the posters and movie types.

But there is always a reason to choose.

As for Peggy, it's not that she doesn't know what her boyfriend wants to do. Man, he can understand everything.

As for myself, I have a certain affection for him. Although I really don't like watching horror movies in my heart, I didn't refuse in the end.

The two sat down in the corners of the last two rows in the movie hall, and glanced at the gradually increasing audience. Tom suddenly didn't want so many people.

Well, I knew I would have come later, Tom thought.

But all came, and after waiting patiently for a while, the lights in the theater slowly dimmed.

Tom sat quietly, listening to the sound of eating popcorn, and his girlfriend was eating with a bucket.

After the regular label, Firefly's blue butterfly animation disappeared, another line of characters appeared on the big screen: "This film is large in scale and contains **** scenes. Audiences with heart diseases should not watch it!"

There was a buzzing noise around, and most of the noises were couples. The reason for the cacophony was naturally this warning.

Could it be that it's really scary?

Peggy couldn't help thinking, and she didn't dare to look at the screen content, but she was still curious. She watched secretly, looked at it for a while, closed her eyes, and then watched it for a while. Playing is a self-deception.

But most viewers are very interested in this film.

Some of these people are **** horror lovers, and the more you say scary, the more they look forward to it.

Excited emotions overflowed in my heart, and the quality of the film did not disappoint.

As soon as the movie starts, it's a murder.

The protagonists Jamie and Lisa are a newlywed couple, and after a few bed scenes flashed by the camera, there is a knock at the door.

Jamie opened the door and saw that there was only one package in the mail, but no one was there.

The two opened the package and found that there was a very realistic puppet inside, but the facial features were very strange, and the smile was cautious.

But Lisa was not afraid, and even picked up the puppet and played with it for a while, saying that there was a fable in their hometown that screaming at night would lead to a tragic death.

She said it in a joking tone, and her husband Jamie chimed in with a few jokes.

Then, someone called, and Jamie went out, and as evening approached, darkness enveloped the world.

In front of the mirror, Lisa is fantasizing about being a mother, imitating the pose of a pregnant woman.

Suddenly, a cold and eerie BGM sounded, and the lights in the bedroom suddenly went out. Lisa shouted out Jamie's name, sat on the bed, tilted her head, and met the doll's eyes for some reason.

Lisa was beating drums in her heart, a little scared.

It seemed that the puppet not far away had come to life and was watching her. She just felt such a scrutinized gaze.

Then, the puppet's eyes moved...

"what--"

After a few miserable screams, Lisa grabbed her neck with her left hand, but put her right hand into her mouth and pulled it out...

Blood, a lot of blood flowed out from the corners of her mouth, Lisa twitched unconsciously, her eyes widened, and then she didn't move.

The puppet on the side just pulled out a very cautious smile and watched all this silently.

Then when Jamie came back, all he saw was Lisa lying on the blood-stained bed.

In the shaking of the screen, the camera has come to the police station.

One of the policemen said to Jamie that they did not find other traces and clues from the scene, so they initially determined that Lisa committed suicide.

Jamie certainly didn't think his wife would kill herself.

Looking at the daytime shots that turned to warm colors, Peggy recalled the death just now in her heart - a very brilliant suspense design, only this point, the audience was brought into the story, and successfully aroused curiosity .

Who would kill Lisa? puppet?

In the next 20 minutes, Jamie tried to find out the real cause of his wife's death after many twists and turns, and finally found an old man through the address on the package.

This is the survivor of the Fair Town tragedy 20 years ago. When Jamie came to the door, he suddenly panicked when he heard his wife's death.

The old man murmured: "Twenty years, killing so many people, still haven't let go? Even their descendants are not spared... Mary."

Johnny, the supporting character played by Bob Wahlberg, begins to reminisce about that dusty memory.

That's where Lisa's parents' grandparents once lived: Fair Town.

In the calm words, I took the audience to witness the mystery of the tragic death, that is, the origin of the fable. Gradually, the audience also felt hairy.

After all, the previous plot is just an appetizer. When Mary-Shaw comes on stage, the realistic and **** scene is the real challenge to the audience's psychological endurance.

A ghost with hatred, a woman with loose hair and all-white pupils, who is usually attached to the doll Billy with a curse (just imagine the shape of Chu Renmei, the similarity is more than 80%).

For viewers who are accustomed to watching Japanese horror films such as "The Grudge" and "Midnight Bell", this kind of ghost-killing scene may be a piece of cake, but for the average American audience, it has an extremely strong effect. impact.

In particular, in the entire town of more than 300 people, only a dozen people were killed by Mary-Xiao. Among them, various means - drowning in the bath, hanging by the tongue, possessing the body, hitting the door with the head, and jumping from the building. , cutting wrists, etc., the people in UU reading lost their tongues.

The mouth is open, empty, full of slaughter.

Finally, some spectators left the venue in a hurry.

"...I don't want to watch it, let's go, let's go."

Poor Peggy was terrified and kept urging, but her legs were numb and soft.

As for Tom, Ya was also shocked by this scale and the expressiveness of the camera, her heart was beating wildly, and her throat was dry and astringent.

I finally pulled out a smiling face to comfort my girlfriend, but I couldn't say the phrase "don't be afraid when I'm here".

American horror plasma films, encountering the intersection of eastern and western cultures like Wen Ziren, and gradually groping for a self-contained atmosphere horror director freak, will be the reason why those American horror lovers appreciate and pursue them.

Now, the charm of the film is less than half unfolded.
