With Halloween just around the corner there’s no denying that scary movie season has arrived. We’ve collected 11 of the most frightening movies every made. So turn off the lights, lock your doors, and get in the holiday spirit。
萬圣節(jié)馬上要到了,毫無疑問,恐怖片的觀影季又來了。我們收集了11部有史以來最恐怖的電影,關上燈,鎖好門,感受一下萬圣節(jié)的節(jié)日氣氛吧。
1.The Exorcist (1973)
驅魔人
Director William Friedkin’s classic tale of demonic possession terrified audiences when it first debuted, and it's remained at the top of the list ever since. While most of the sequels are better left forgotten, be sure to check out William Peter Blatty’s Exorcist III: Legion. While not up to the level of the original, it contains what’s arguably one of the best jump scares of all time。
威廉·弗萊德金導演的經典作品,講述鬼附身的故事,自初次登臺以來就嚇倒了觀眾們,自此之后一直居于恐怖類電影的榜首。雖然它的續(xù)集大多都已經被人們淡忘了,但一定要看看威廉·彼得·布拉蒂自編自導的《驅魔人3:軍團》。雖然沒有達到原作的水準,但仍可稱得上是有史以來最精彩的讓人心驚肉跳的恐怖電影之一。
2.A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
猛鬼街
Freddy Krueger may have turned into a wise-cracking pop culture curiosity, but Wes Craven’s original film is vicious and nasty — with a villain to match. Not all of the performances have aged well, but Robert Englund (as Krueger) and Heather Langenkamp (as the heroine Nancy) have an undeniable chemistry. Also keep an eye out for the big-screen debut of Johnny Depp。
弗萊迪·克魯格將這部電影改編稱了明快而狡黠的流行文化奇談,而韋斯·克雷文的原作則是險惡而恐怖的——再加上一個負面角色。并非所有演員的演技都可圈可點,但羅伯特·英格蘭德(飾克魯格)和希瑟·蘭根坎普(飾女主角南希)確實演的很到位。還要留心看看約翰尼·德普首次在大銀幕上亮相的樣子。
3.Audition (1999)
切膚之愛
Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike directs this story of a middle-aged man who takes an unorthodox approach to finding a new girlfriend. What happens from there… well, it’s better if you find out for yourself。
日本制片人三池崇史執(zhí)導的電影,講述一個中年男人用歪門邪道尋覓新女友的故事。故事由此展開……劇情究竟如何,還是你自己去發(fā)現(xiàn)吧。
4.Sinister (2012)
險惡
Ethan Hawke plays a true-crime novelist who moves his family into a home that was the site of unspeakable crimes. It’s the kind of broad set-up that could go awry in the wrong hands, but director Scott Derrickson and co-writer C. Robert Cargill know exactly when to play to audience expectations — and when to subvert them。
伊桑·霍克是一名真實犯罪小說家,他帶著自己的家人搬進了一所房子,在這里曾經發(fā)生過不可告人的案件。這種大俗套的設定在平庸之輩手中一定會搞砸,可是導演斯科特·德瑞克森和聯(lián)合作家羅伯特·嘉吉卻非常懂得怎么迎合觀眾的觀影期待——以及怎么顛覆觀眾的觀影期待。
5.The Ring (2002)
午夜兇鈴
Usually foreign-language horror films get U.S. remakes that lack the bite of the original, but director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean) delivers a film that’s stronger than any of the previous adaptations。
通常美國翻拍的非英語電影都沒那么原汁原味,可是導演高爾·韋賓斯基(執(zhí)導《加勒比海盜》)卻為觀眾呈現(xiàn)了一部超過之前任何翻拍作品的版本。
6.Halloween (1978)
萬圣節(jié)
Simply put, John Carpenter launched a genre with his low-budget slasher, and the film is as terrifying and relentless today as it was the day it was released。
簡單的說,約翰·卡朋特用他這部低成本的血淋淋的恐怖片開創(chuàng)了一個新類型。在今天,這部電影仍像當初剛上映的時候一樣恐怖而殘酷。
7.The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
德州電鋸殺人狂
Brutal. Ugly. Foul. Absolutely terrifying. That's just scratching the surface of Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Recently remastered for its 40th anniversary, the film has never looked this good, but before you watch it make sure your neighbors don’t mind lots and lots of screaming。
野蠻,丑惡,污穢,簡直是嚇死人。這還只是這部托比·霍珀執(zhí)導的《德州電鋸殺人狂》的一點皮毛。最近這部電影為了慶祝40周年剛重新灌錄,煥然一新,好的不能再好了。不過在看之前,最好確認一下,你的鄰居不介意聽到陣陣尖叫聲。
8.The Blair Witch Project (1999)
女巫布萊爾
Blair Witch was a cultural revelation. Could this story actually be true? Don’t search Google and don’t check your smartphone to find out: just watch the movie right now。
《女巫布萊爾》是一部文化啟示錄。難道這真是一個真實的故事嗎?別搜谷歌,也別查你的智能手機了:現(xiàn)在就來看看這部電影吧。
9.Alien (1979)
異形
Ridley Scott’s classic may be a sci-fi film, but that doesn’t stop it from being one of the scariest movies ever made. The tagline at the time was “In space no one can hear you scream。” Here on Earth you won’t be so lucky。
雷德利·斯科特的經典原作本是一部科幻片,但這并不能阻止我們將其列為有史以來最恐怖的電影之一。那個時候這部電影的宣傳語是“在太空里沒人會聽到你尖叫。”但是在地球上你可沒那么幸運了。
10.The Strangers (2008)
陌路狂殺
Writer-director Bryan Bertino took a simple concept — a couple, played by Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman, are terrorized in their home by mysterious strangers — and turned it into a horror tour-de-force. Pulling heavily from genre master John Carpenter, The Strangers delivers in every way possible。
編劇兼導演布萊恩·伯蒂諾采取了一個簡單的概念——一對夫妻(麗芙·泰勒和斯科特·斯比德曼飾演)被家里神秘的陌生人搞得驚恐不已。導演把這個簡單的概念衍生成了一部恐怖片佳作。《末路狂殺》深受恐怖片大師約翰·卡彭特的影響,對后來的恐怖類影片也產生了方方面面的影響。
11.American Horror Story: Murder House, pilot (2011)
美國恐怖故事:謀殺之屋,“領航員”
Yes yes, this isn’t a movie, but credit where credit is due. The pilot for the first season of American Horror Story wasn’t just an impressive piece of television; it was a signal that the medium had shifted. Things occur at the end of this pilot that simply should not be allowed to occur on television, and that reckless, break-all-the-rules approach is a large part of why AHS was so horrifyingly refreshing。
對對對,這并不是一部電影,但還是值得贊賞!睹绹植拦适隆返谝患镜倪@集領航之作并不僅僅是這部電視劇中的一個亮點;它是一個標志,標志著大眾媒體已經轉型了。在這部領航之作的末尾,原本不應該再電視上發(fā)生的事情發(fā)生了,這種大無畏,突破一切規(guī)則的路徑也正是為什么《美國恐怖故事》令人耳目一新,簡直令人驚恐的主要原因。
