Why is it important to be afraid? A look at horror movies

Sometimes it comes to mind that what do the moviegoers who make these scary and heartbreaking movies think?

His stories have revolved around only one point, which is to scare and scare the moviegoers by showing them any formulaic story and at the same time insisting to them that ‘It is necessary to be scared.’

The idea dominates their minds that by doing scary and strange get-ups, by moving the camera in a crooked way, by playing background music and then by showing the night scene, just go ahead. Or it also happens that some forgotten spirit enters someone’s body and creates a blast that only two and a half hours of the film is dedicated to it and the remaining half an hour is spent uncovering the secrets of the past.

By the way, this ‘Atma’ formula used to be a popular theme in 80s movies. Its texture matches the famous 1958 film ‘Madhumati’ where a good soul comes down to earth to take revenge on her killer with a dramatic twist. Now this formula was tried in many later films like ‘Qarad’ and then ‘Om Shanti Om.’

The ‘roohwala touch’ is very old in Bollywood. A famous example of this comes before us in the 1949 film ‘Mahal’ when Madhubala is mistaken for a stray soul by Ashok Kumar, the hero of the film.

Mahal is one of the earliest Bollywood horror films (Public Domain).

Sometimes, to change the taste of the mouth and to show innovation, this Atma was inserted into a doll, or this Atma Sahaba took over a deserted abandoned house, where she visited or regularly visited for a day. It would not be less than punishment. As far as the entry of Atma in the doll is concerned, it seems that the idea of ​​Hollywood’s ‘Child’s Play’, ‘It’ and ‘Anna Bell’ was taken from Bollywood itself. In the 80’s and 90’s, when a group of heroes and heroines go on a trip to a remote resort, they are accompanied by creatures whose happiness is fueled by cannabis.

Or assume that she is sitting so that somehow the group will arrive and they will leave all the work to harass or intimidate them. After many films reach the end, the question also starts circulating in the mind, what was the scary thing in this creation?

Then I don’t even understand why all these horror movies are made in winter. When someone is engaged in studying after lighting a bonfire, a wandering evil spirit or a witch comes from somewhere. After watching these horror movies, we come to a conclusion that ghosts, demons or witches are active only in cold weather.

Sure, summer nights are short, so they may take longer to set in motion, which is why winter comes with a bang in movies, but it also brings demons with it.

These horror movies usually require an old and haunted family mansion, and then when someone is confronted by the demon, his favorite line is, ‘I’ve seen someone there.’

Now, if our fragile heroine would say this, the hero would hold her in his arms and say, ‘Hey, my dear, your illusion will happen. There is no one here but us.’

But this illusion of the heroine would have been a masterpiece of the script writer through which the story would have progressed. By the way, this dialogue was delivered by the heroine either when she was taking a bath like a soap advertisement model or when she was changing her clothes.

In these horror movies, after the ghosts, the doors are also very important. That’s because their stoves were so wobbly that when they were opened or closed, there was a ‘creaking’ sound and more of an eerie atmosphere. Be sure that after watching these movies, even if such sounds start coming from the door of the house, then a fear will be felt, especially at night when going out of these doors, the same thought comes to mind with frequency. ‘Look back!’

Like Tarkhan for the door, the plumber would also show a doom and gloom job in these films. The reason was the frequent dripping of water from the faucet and its tap-tap sound became more frightening at night.

In any deserted house or mansion there was a middle-aged watchman with a lantern in his hand, which would make his face in the darkness more terrifying and send shivers down the soul of the onlookers.

Pakistani Horror Movie Black (IRK Films)

The contract for making horror films in India has been with the Ramsay Brothers, who used their full energy to scare by making films like Virana, Parana Mandir, ‘Guest House,’ ‘Prani Haveli’ or ‘Do Guz Zameen’. The limit is that after making the moviegoers cry on the big screen, these brothers offered their services to witches, ghosts and demons on the small screen as well through ‘Ze Horrorshow’.

In Pakistan, director Saeed Rizvi definitely tried to scare people by making ‘Talsmi Jazira’ and ‘Sar Kata Insan’ in the 90s, but it is a fact that the issues that are important for horror movies are in these movies. Don’t be seen anywhere.

Saeed Rizvi also resorted to special effects in this regard, but there is scope for any scare. Better than them were ‘Deewana’ in 1964 and then another horror film ‘Zinda Laash’ in 1967. If only Saeed Rizvi knew that instead of special effects, a good script, high acting and camera work can be tolerated by the audience.

However, now in the smart era, there have been some changes in ghosts and witches. In this regard, I would also like to commend director Priya Darshan, who started a new debate with ‘Bhool Bhaliyaan’.

Priyadarshan tries to convince that there are no ghosts as his ‘Manjulika’ was not actually a demon but a woman with identity disorder. But in the next sequel of ‘Bhool Bhaliyaan’, Priyadarshan also agreed that ghosts or ghosts are the best source of income. Well, in this, even his own Ram Gopal Varma lost courage, who first kept saying that ‘fear is forbidden’, but then after three years he taught everyone a lesson that no matter what happens, ‘it is necessary to be afraid.’

Now think for yourself and say what you believe and don’t be afraid to share it.
