篇一：东西方恐怖电影比较(英文)
Different Dread
----The analysis of the differences between western and eastern in horror movies
1. Abstract:
As we know westerners are relatively direct and like to show their feelings. But the oriental are reserved, focusing on atmosphere building and
psychological hint is the biggest characteristic of eastern horror films. The western horror films are based on the fear of reality. The eastern films are more based on the horror of the unknown affairs, our inner secret feelings and the transaction of unpredictability. So why western and eastern have so big differences? The differences are most from the differences of culture. And what cause the differences in culture? I think it’s the geographic location.
2. Introduction:
In our lives, movies are essential things and there are many kinds of movies. Horror movie is one of the most important types. We have seen many horror movies no matter western or eastern. There are many differences between western and eastern horror movies.
First,as we know westerners are relatively direct and like to show their feelings. So, they regard the stimulation of visions and feelings as important. They usually use the comprehensive application of Make-up, cosmetic and sound effect. So, you can see many scenes have organs with blood on it, and I think sometimes they are more lousy than scary. I think the most typical horror films must be the <A Nightmare On Elm Street > ;<Dracula>;and the <Frankenstein>.The vision is more intuitionistic, and terror effects are in the ghosts and monsters. Here are some pictures of <A Nightmare On Elm Street >. And you can see the monster is very horrific. Here are some pictures of <Frankenstein>.
But the oriental are reserved, focusing on atmosphere building and psychological hint is the biggest characteristic of eastern horror films. That’s to say, the fear is the repression and control from the bottom of heart and terror is a sensible without considerable things, like <A Tale of Two Sisters >. In that movie, there’s no normal contact among people. People in the movies always deviate from the normal life.
Secondly, the western horror films are based on the fear of reality. The eastern films are more based on the horror of the unknown affairs, our inner secret feelings and the transaction of unpredictability. The typical film must be <The Ring>, which produced by a Japanese director and an American director successively. <The Ring> is much eviler and the stimulations of visions are obvious after the American reproduced it.
Thirdly, with the development of the technology, the industrial variation and technology panic become a piece of lingering shadow over their head. People begin to introspect the crisis which the extreme civilization and following the development of science blindly brought. So, the western horror films are often concerning these kinds of fear, like <Alien >, <Resident Evil>. These are some pictures of the <Alien> and <Resident Evil>. Some people may say they
can’t be horror movies strictly, but they can already explain the character of western horror movies.
The whole eastern culture system is affected by the Confucianism. But with the development of economy, egoism, money first, moral decay, disregard law and discipline and so on are increasing the impact of traditional culture. So the horror film is appeared, and they show the modern ethical crisis and emotional anxiety in atrans mutative and exaggerated form. Here are some pictures of the eastern horror films. From the pictures, we can’t see any high technology, but we can feel the gloomy atmosphere among the people.
Above all, the differences between western and eastern horror movies have been stated. But what’s causethe differences? I think it’s the differences in culture that cause them. And what causes the culture difference is the geographic location.
The oriental lived in theHuanghe Valley and the Yangzi Valley. It’s a wide plain, and people settled down in someplace. They lived and farm there from generation to generation. That’s to say the oriental were lived in a stable environment. People didn’t like move and prefer to settle down. That’ make people didn’t like to make public. So oriental create the Confucianism, which advocate connotation and restrained.
But as for the western people, where they lived were full of mountains and hills. What’s more, the climate is not fit to farm. That makes them move from one place to another to find more things that can hold them to live on. This kind of lifestyle makes them direct and likes to show their feelings. In modern times, many Europeans moved to America and then, people from all over the world moved to America, which makes American culture,become more and more diversified. People lived in America have to communicate with other people to know other’s culture and belief in order to get along well with others. This also makes western especially Americans’ characters are more direct.
Because of the differences in culture, western people and eastern people have a lot of differences in character. And these differences make the horror movies between western and eastern be quite different.What’s more, makes lots of things different.
3. Conclusions:
There are lots of differences in horror movies between western and eastern. Westerners are relatively direct and like to show their feelings. They usually use the comprehensive application of Make-up, cosmetic and sound effect. But the oriental are reserved, focusing on atmosphere building and psychological hint is the biggest characteristic of eastern horror films.
Because of the differences in culture, western people and eastern people have a lot of differences in character. And these differences make the horror
movies between western and eastern be quite different. What’s more, makes lots of things different.

篇二：双语11部不容错过的恐怖电影
双语:11部不容错过的恐怖电影
Once upon a time, horror movies regularly ran in your local multiplex. But lately, newer high-quality horror flicks can be found on our televisions. It's a blessing and a curse, there's not thatmuch room for independently produced films to scare crowds en masse at their local theaters,but we know there's always something to find on streaming sites and VOD rental platforms.
过去，恐怖片一般只在当地影院定期上映。而如今，我们用电视就能看到新上映、高品质的恐怖片。这既是福也是祸，在当地影院再也看不到那么多观众被独立制作的恐怖片吓得尖叫的场面了，但我们知道从视频网站和网上视频收费平台总能找到我们想看的恐怖片。
So here are 11 horror flicks that you can watch at home with all the lights off and junk foodgalore -- which some would argue is even better than going to a multiplex and dealing with jerkswho talk during all the scary bits.
这里给你推荐11部可以在家欣赏的恐怖片，把家里的灯全部关掉，一边吃着各种垃圾食品，一边欣赏电影。有人说这样比去影院看电影好多了，最起码你不用忍受身旁一出现恐怖镜头，就大肆评论一番的蠢蛋了。
1. Bite (2015)
《变蚁人》（2015）
This one earned mixed reviews, but please save me a seat on the "really dug it" side of theequation. This freaky Canadian import is about a young woman who slowly transforms (more like"degenerates") into a she-creature after crossing paths with an exotic insect(ish thing). Toss in afew icky kills, a decent dosage of compelling subtext, some fine acting under toughcircumstances, and more icky goo than any one film probably needs, and you're looking at anasty yet darkly amusing horror flick that my mom wouldn't be able to sit through for more thannine minutes. Seth Brundle, on the other hand, would love it.
这部影片口碑褒贬不一，但是我还是深深沉迷在这部电影的魅力中。这部惊悚的加拿大电影讲述的是一名年轻的女子被一种外来虫子之类的东西咬了之后，慢慢变形（更像退化）出现昆虫的特征。一些恶心无比的杀戮情节，恰到好处、引人入胜的潜台词，在艰苦的环境中演员体现出来的精湛演技，还有比别的电影更多的各种恶心的怪物，这就是你要找的重口味、却带有趣味的黑暗惊悚片。像我妈这种人看这种片子绝不会超过9分钟，但是像电影变蝇人里的疯狂科学家SethBrundle肯定会喜欢的。
2. Bone Tomahawk (2015)
《战斧骨》 (2015)
Sad but true: we don't get all that many horror/Western hybrids these days (or ever, really) soit's great to find a new one that not only works, but kicks butt under both gee headings. BoneTomahawk is basically The Searchers meets The Hills Have Eyes, about a gang of well-intentioned townsfolk (led by Kurt Russell!) who head out to rescue a citizen who has beencaptured by a tribe of cannibalistic natives. Oddly literate for such a gruesome concoction, andthat's only one of the flick's surprises.
悲伤却真实：近年来很少出现关于恐怖和西部元素相结合的电影（或从未出现过），所以当
看到这部电影中出现这两种风格，而且融合得相当好时，我们是大大惊艳到了。《战斧骨》基本上是电影《落日狂沙》和《隔山有眼》的结合体，讲述的是一群好心的村民在库尔特?拉塞尔（KurtRussell）的带领下，出发寻找食人族下落，解救被食人族囚禁的村民。文明与落后阴森相结合的奇异，还只是这部片子众多亮点中的一小点而已。
3. Cub (2014)
《幼兽》（2014）
I included this Belgian film for three reasons: 1) it's a crafty, freaky, scary little movie,
2) it'savailable over on Shudder, a fantastic streaming service for Americans who crave nonstop horrorcinema, and 3) it's a terrifying movie. Cub follows a scout troop that goes on a weekendcamping trip, only to stumble across a rather unique psycho. Suffice it to say we won't be seeingan American remake of this one anytime soon.
推荐这部比利时电影有以下三个原因：一，这是一部离奇、荒诞、恐怖的低成本电影；二，它可以在Shudder（为喜爱观看恐怖片的美国人服务的流媒体）上播放；三，这是一部恐怖片。幼兽跟随童子军进行周末露营旅行，不料却遭遇一场诡异的惊魂之旅。简单地说，近期我们是不会看到美国翻拍这部电影的。
4. The Hallow (2015)
《圣魇》（2015）
Not to be confused with The Hollow, Hallow, or (God forbid) The Gallows, this low-key buteminently creepy offering from the UK focuses on a family deep in the woods who must contendwith something... unnatural. It's a pretty straightforward campfire tale, so the less I divulge thebetter. Fine. You win. There are demons in that freaky forest. Hungry ones, too.
不要把这部片子和电影《断头谷》、《驱魔少年》还有《绞刑架》混淆了。这部低调但极度惊悚的英国电影讲述的是一家人深入丛林，与一些非同寻常的事物做斗争。这个营火故事的线索十分明朗，所以我最好不要剧透太多。好好好，我还是告诉你们吧。在诡异的丛林深处，等待他们的，不仅有恶魔，还有食人族……
5. He Never Died (2015)
《不死之身》（2015）
It's always fun when Hey Rollins pops up in a movie. The man has a natural intensity that'sfascinating to watch, plus he's a lot funnier than we generally give him credit for. Rollins gives hisbest performance ever in the odd, fascinating He Never Died, which is sort of like a film noir-horror flick-crime story amalgam. The former Black Flag frontman plays a soft-spoken badasswho simply cannot be killed (and the local criminal element knows, because its tried... more thanonce). Precisely how the man gained this immortality is a big reveal, and the explanation makesfor one of the most interesting gee films in recent memory.
当看到亨利?罗林斯（Hey Rollins）在电影中突然出现时，我们总是忍俊不禁。他总有一种气质，让欣赏他的人为他着迷。而且，他很幽默，比我们认为的还要有趣。在这部奇异、令人着迷的电影里，他高超的演技表现得淋漓尽致。这是一部集黑色恐怖、犯罪类型于一身的电影。这个前黑旗乐队主唱扮演的是一个语气温和，但却永远不死的坏人（当地犯罪分子都知道他永远杀不死，因为他们不仅一次地想要杀他）。主角如何刚好获得不死能力是一个大反转，而电影中的说明更是使这部电影成为近来最有趣的电影之一。
6. Holidays (2016)
《恐怖假日》(2016)
Like most horror anthologies, this holiday-themed collection is more or less a mixed bag. Luckily,the good stuff outweighs the weaker offerings by a decent margin. Highlights include a trulydisturbing take on Mother's Day, a dark and unsettling tale about St. Patrick's Day, a dark,raunchy Halloween joke by Kevin Smith, and a broadly violent New Year's Eve date that plays alot like a live-action Tom & Jerry cartoon.
大多恐怖题材的电影都是喜忧参半，这部以节日为主题的电影也不例外。好在这部影片票房不错，喜还是多过忧的。影片的亮点在于：惶惶不安的母亲节、一个关于圣帕特里克节的惊悚故事，凯文?史密斯（Kevin Smith）演绎万圣节的恶趣味、新年夜的约会暴力大反转像极了真人版的《猫与老鼠》。
7. Hush (2016)
《无声夜》（2016）
This Netflix-exclusive is about an aurally challenged but entirely self-sufficient young woman whospends one horrific evening being stalked, chased, and terrorized by a mysterious psychopath.Refreshingly simple, cleverly efficient, and powerfully suspenseful, Hush will be certain to gracemany a year-end top-10 list. (Top 10 horror movies, anyway.)
这部影片由美国奈飞公司出品，讲述的是一个年轻的聋哑女人独自居住在树林深处。某天夜里一个戴着面具的精神病到访，一直跟踪、追赶、恐吓她。影片剧情简单却令人耳目一新、情节设计巧妙、悬疑重重，必定会为今年排名前十的恐怖电影增色不少。
8. The Invitation (2016)
《致命邀请》（2016）
Have you ever spent an evening at a dinner party from which you couldn't wait to escape? Ifso, you'll probably appreciate the escalating tensions of Karyn Kusama's thriller that deals with oldfriends, creepy cults, and an offer that (literally) cannot be refused. A strong cast and a cleverscreenplay keep The Invitation interesting during the slow-burn setup. When the finish line's insight, it's a satisfying run of thrills and scares. And don't you dare turn it off before the final shot.
你是否有过迫不及待想要逃离一场晚宴的经历？如果有过这样的经历，你或许会喜欢卡瑞恩?库萨马（Karyn Kusama）的这部惊悚片，影片围绕着老朋友、诡异的教派组织和一个无法拒绝的邀请，紧张氛围不断升级。影片虽然铺垫较长，悬念缓缓推进，但强大的演员阵容和构思巧妙的剧本让人丝毫不感到沉闷。影片结尾处更是极具刺激和紧张。你肯定不舍得错过最后镜头。
9. Nina Forever (2015)
《永远的妮娜》（2015）
Ghosts have a habit of popping up at the most unexpected moments. Poor, deceased Ninatakes the cake: she only appears when her ex-boyfriend is about to have sex with someoneelse. This darkly funny and cleverly disturbing British release takes its bizarre premise to someunexpected places. Thanks to an unpredictable screenplay and some fantastic performances, italso manages to make a few compelling points about the nature of love, romance, and loyalty.Plus it's pretty gross (that's a good thing).
鬼魂总是在最意想不到的时刻突然冒出来。影片中可怜的妮娜就是这样：她总是在她生前男
友每次与其他女生发生关系的时候出现。该部英国影片充满黑色幽默且悬疑设计巧妙，故事的离奇表现在意想不到的地方。影片剧情设计出乎意料，演员演技精湛，也讲述了爱、浪漫、忠诚等一些人们感兴趣的话题。另外剧情有点儿污（这也不是坏事儿）。
10. Southbound (2015)
《一路向南》（2015）
Seems like there's always a new indie horror anthology hitting the VOD pipes every other week,but Southbound is the best one we've seen in a few years. Not only are the individual storieseffective on their own, but the filmmakers figured out a crafty way to tie all the scary talestogether into some sort of perpetual nightmare. (It'll make more sense after you watch themovie.)
似乎每隔一周就会有一部新的独立恐怖电影获得极大点播量，这部影片是近几年来最成功的一部。影片的每个故事都独特新颖令人印象深刻，制作团队十分聪明，将所有恐怖的故事都紧密联系，以一种无休止的噩梦的形式呈现给观众。（看完影片你会更有感触的）
