11部不容錯過的恐怖電影
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 that much 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.
過去，恐怖片一般只在當地影院定期上映。而如今，我們用電視就能看到新上映、高品質的恐怖片。這既是福也是禍，在當地影院再也看不到那麼多觀衆被獨立製作的恐怖片嚇得尖叫的場面了，但我們知道從視頻網站和網上視頻收費平臺總能找到我們想看的恐怖片。
So here are 11 horror flicks that you can watch at home with all the lights off and junk food galore -- which some would argue is even better than going to a multiplex and dealing with jerks who talk during all the scary bits.
這裏給你推薦11部可以在家欣賞的恐怖片，把家裏的燈全部關掉，一邊吃着各種垃圾食品，一邊欣賞電影。有人說這樣比去影院看電影好多了，最起碼你不用忍受身旁一出現恐怖鏡頭，就大肆評論一番的蠢蛋了。
1. Bite (2015)
《變蟻人》（2015）
This one earned mixed reviews, but please save me a seat on the "really dug it" side of the equation. 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 a few icky kills, a decent dosage of compelling subtext, some fine acting under tough circumstances, and more icky goo than any one film probably needs, and you're looking at a nasty yet darkly amusing horror flick that my mom wouldn't be able to sit through for more than nine minutes. Seth Brundle, on the other hand, would love it.
這部影片口碑褒貶不一，但是我還是深深沉迷在這部電影的魅力中。這部驚悚的加拿大電影講述的是一名年輕的女子被一種外來蟲子之類的東西咬了之後，慢慢變形（更像退化）出現昆蟲的特徵。一些噁心無比的殺戮情節，恰到好處、引人入勝的潛臺詞，在艱苦的環境中演員體現出來的精湛演技，還有比別的電影更多的各種噁心的怪物，這就是你要找的重口味、卻帶有趣味的黑暗驚悚片。像我媽這種人看這種片子絕不會超過9分鐘，但是像電影變蠅人裏的瘋狂科學家Seth Brundle肯定會喜歡的。
2. Bone Tomahawk (2015)
《戰斧骨》 (2015)
Sad but true: we don't get all that many horror/Western hybrids these days (or ever, really) so it's great to find a new one that not only works, but kicks butt under both genre headings. Bone Tomahawk 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 been captured by a tribe of cannibalistic natives. Oddly literate for such a gruesome concoction, and that's only one of the flick's surprises.
悲傷卻真實：近年來很少出現關於恐怖和西部元素相結合的電影（或從未出現過），所以當看到這部電影中出現這兩種風格，而且融合得相當好時，我們是大大驚豔到了。《戰斧骨》基本上是電影《落日狂沙》和《隔山有眼》的結合體，講述的是一羣好心的村民在庫爾特•拉塞爾（Kurt Russell）的帶領下，出發尋找食人族下落，解救被食人族囚禁的村民。文明與落後陰森相結合的奇異，還只是這部片子衆多亮點中的一小點而已。
3. Cub (2014)
《幼獸》（2014）
I included this Belgian film for three reasons: 1) it's a crafty, freaky, scary little movie, 2) it's available over on Shudder, a fantastic streaming service for Americans who crave nonstop horror cinema, and 3) it's a terrifying movie. Cub follows a scout troop that goes on a weekend camping trip, only to stumble across a rather unique psycho. Suffice it to say we won't be seeing an American remake of this one anytime soon.
推薦這部比利時電影有以下三個原因：一，這是一部離奇、荒誕、恐怖的低成本電影；二，它可以在Shudder（爲喜愛觀看恐怖片的美國人服務的流媒體）上播放；三，這是一部恐怖片。幼獸跟隨童子軍進行週末露營旅行，不料卻遭遇一場詭異的驚魂之旅。簡單地說，近期我們是不會看到美國翻拍這部電影的。
4. The Hallow (2015)
《聖魘》（2015）
Not to be confused with The Hollow, Hallow, or (God forbid) The Gallows, this low-key but eminently creepy offering from the UK focuses on a family deep in the woods who must contend with something... unnatural. It's a pretty straightforward campfire tale, so the less I divulge the better. Fine. You win. There are demons in that freaky forest. Hungry ones, too.
不要把這部片子和電影《斷頭谷》、《驅魔少年》還有《絞刑架》混淆了。這部低調但極度驚悚的英國電影講述的是一家人深入叢林，與一些非同尋常的事物做鬥爭。這個營火故事的線索十分明朗，所以我最好不要劇透太多。好好好，我還是告訴你們吧。在詭異的叢林深處，等待他們的，不僅有惡魔，還有食人族……
5. He Never Died (2015)
《不死之身》（2015）
It's always fun when Henry Rollins pops up in a movie. The man has a natural intensity that's fascinating to watch, plus he's a lot funnier than we generally give him credit for. Rollins gives his best 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 badass who simply cannot be killed (and the local criminal element knows, because its tried... more than once). Precisely how the man gained this immortality is a big reveal, and the explanation makes for one of the most interesting genre films in recent memory.
當看到亨利•羅林斯（Henry Rollins）在電影中突然出現時，我們總是忍俊不禁。他總有一種氣質，讓欣賞他的人爲他着迷。而且，他很幽默，比我們認爲的還要有趣。在這部奇異、令人着迷的電影裏，他高超的演技表現得淋漓盡致。這是一部集黑色恐怖、犯罪類型於一身的電影。這個前黑旗樂隊主唱扮演的是一個語氣溫和，但卻永遠不死的壞人（當地犯罪分子都知道他永遠殺不死，因爲他們不僅一次地想要殺他）。主角如何剛好獲得不死能力是一個大反轉，而電影中的說明更是使這部電影成爲近來最有趣的電影之一。
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 truly disturbing 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 a lot like a live-action Tom & Jerry cartoon.
大多恐怖題材的電影都是喜憂參半，這部以節日爲主題的電影也不例外。好在這部影片票房不錯，喜還是多過憂的。影片的亮點在於：惶惶不安的母親節、一個關於聖帕特里克節的驚悚故事，凱文•史密斯（Kevin Smith）演繹萬聖節的惡趣味、新年夜的約會暴力大反轉像極了真人版的《貓與老鼠》。
7. Hush (2016)
《無聲夜》（2016）
This Netflix-exclusive is about an aurally challenged but entirely self-sufficient young woman who spends one horrific evening being stalked, chased, and terrorized by a mysterious psychopath. Refreshingly simple, cleverly efficient, and powerfully suspenseful, Hush will be certain to grace many a year-end top-10 list. (Top 10 horror movies, anyway.)
這部影片由美國奈飛公司出品，講述的是一個年輕的聾啞女人獨自居住在樹林深處。某天夜裏一個戴着面具的精神病到訪，一直跟蹤、追趕、恐嚇她。影片劇情簡單卻令人耳目一新、情節設計巧妙、懸疑重重，必定會爲今年排名前十的恐怖電影增色不少。
8. The Invitation (2016)
《致命邀請》（2016）
Have you ever spent an evening at a dinner party from which you couldn't wait to escape? If so, you'll probably appreciate the escalating tensions of Karyn Kusama's thriller that deals with old friends, creepy cults, and an offer that (literally) cannot be refused. A strong cast and a clever screenplay keep The Invitation interesting during the slow-burn setup. When the finish line's in sight, it's a satisfying run of thrills and scares. And don't you dare turn it off before the final shot.
你是否有過迫不及待想要逃離一場晚宴的經歷？如果有過這樣的經歷，你或許會喜歡卡瑞恩•庫薩馬（Karyn Kusama）的這部驚悚片，影片圍繞着老朋友、詭異的教派組織和一個無法拒絕的邀請，緊張氛圍不斷升級。影片雖然鋪墊較長，懸念緩緩推進，但強大的演員陣容和構思巧妙的劇本讓人絲毫不感到沉悶。影片結尾處更是極具刺激和緊張。你肯定不捨得錯過最後鏡頭。
9. Nina Forever (2015)
《永遠的妮娜》（2015）
Ghosts have a habit of popping up at the most unexpected moments. Poor, deceased Nina takes the cake: she only appears when her ex-boyfriend is about to have sex with someone else. This darkly funny and cleverly disturbing British release takes its bizarre premise to some unexpected places. Thanks to an unpredictable screenplay and some fantastic performances, it also 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).
鬼魂總是在最意想不到的時刻突然冒出來。影片中可憐的妮娜就是這樣：她總是在她生前男友每次與其他女生髮生關係的時候出現。該部英國影片充滿黑色幽默且懸疑設計巧妙，故事的離奇表現在意想不到的地方。影片劇情設計出乎意料，演員演技精湛，也講述了愛、浪漫、忠誠等一些人們感興趣的話題。另外劇情有點兒污（這也不是壞事兒）。
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 stories effective on their own, but the filmmakers figured out a crafty way to tie all the scary tales together into some sort of perpetual nightmare. (It'll make more sense after you watch the movie.)
似乎每隔一週就會有一部新的獨立恐怖電影獲得極大點播量，這部影片是近幾年來最成功的一部。影片的每個故事都獨特新穎令人印象深刻，製作團隊十分聰明，將所有恐怖的故事都緊密聯繫，以一種無休止的噩夢的形式呈現給觀衆。（看完影片你會更有感觸的）
