Sample Sentences

可能 这种 恐怖 气氛 能 潜意识 激发 人 的 某些 心理 秘密,并且 带来 恐惧。恐怖片 中 的 各种 悬念 也 能 使 观众 深迷 其中 不能 自拔。日本 的 恐怖片 还 体现 了 非常 鲜明 的 日本 民族 特色 和 东方 神秘主义 的 传统。片 中 的 主角 通常 都 是 秀丽 或 妖艳 的 女子,既 美丽 又 恐怖,她们 在 表现出 残忍 和 邪恶 的 同时,也 有 令人 同情 和 惋惜 的 一面。日本恐怖片 中 的 邪恶 力量 往往 暗示 了 人 内心 的 黑暗,所以 尽管 没有 令人作呕 的 血腥 画面,却 能 让人 感到 精神上 的 恐惧 和 慌乱。纯粹 是 一种 心理上 的 折磨,应该说 这 才 是 真正 意义 上 的 恐怖。

Maybe that kind of scary atmosphere can subconsciously stimulate the secrets in people's hearts and create terror. The suspense in scary movies can also envelop the audience. Japanese movies also display very distinctive traditions of Japanese and Eastern mysticism. The stars are often pretty or coquettish girls, both beautiful and scary. While they are often cruel and evil, they can also make people empathize and feel sorry for them. The power of the evil in Japanese movies hints at the darkness in people's hearts. So even though they aren't so gory that you want to puke, the movies can make people feel fear and unease in their spirit. It's unadulterated psychological torture. We should say that it is terror in the truest sense of the word.
