Hey what's up, guys
Today I'll show you a horror film: "The Bride"
Spoilers ahead, watch out, and take care
The film begins with a man, Hao, walking into a house, looking around when he finds a woman, a bride
Hao can only see her back; so he slowly approaches her to see her face
Suddenly, he hears a voice, and people mysteriously appear
Hao witnesses how these people forcefully make a man be the dead bride's groom
Hao gasps in shock, as he sees the rotting face of the bride
but fortunately, it is just a dream
Hao calms himself down, and hugs his fiancée
The following morning, while Hao sits on the park bench after running,
he hears some noises behind him
Hao checks it; and there is no one
but he finds a red envelope stuck on a tree
He takes it, and looks around, looking for the person who left it
but he is alone
Then suddenly, an old man taps his shoulder, and asks for his bottled water
Hao gives it
but he realizes that the red envelope is gone, as the old man walks away
Hao checks the ground looking for it
but he cannot find it anywhere
Later after his shower, Hao notices three scratch marks on his chest, confusing him
but he dismisses them
Before leaving, Hao's fiancée wraps a scarf around his neck as the weather gets colder
However, she suddenly feels pain in her neck, worrying Hao
the fiancee assures him that it is nothing severe
On the other hand, Yin, a high school student,
is supposed to celebrate her 16th birthday with her friend
As they plan the celebration, Yin hears her friend's phone ringing, followed by a dog's bark
Yin looks down at her desk, and sees a dog looking at her friend
Suddenly, the dog looks at her; and Yin screams, as she sees that half its face is smashed
The dog disappears as quickly as it shows
but the friend receives a phone call from her mother that her dog was hit by a car and died
The friend holds her tears, as she excuses herself to Yin
Meanwhile, Hao supervises his team, as they record a clip for their new supernatural TV show
The topic is ghost marriage, where the dead's girl family will put a lock of the deceased's hair,
or anything personal to the girl in a red envelope
The expert explains that the family will put the red envelope on the roadside;
and whoever picks it up has to marry the deceased girl
Also, the family will hide aside, and watch to ensure that a guy will pick up the envelope
The camera then focuses on the Taoism priest,
who explains why such tradition is still being practiced
Due to the patriarchal values, women who died unmarried,
will become wandering ghosts;
so the only way is to give them the ghost marriage
The family needs to find a guy,
and get the newly-deceased woman married in 49 days; so the soul can be reincarnated
However, those souls with strong resentment will become haunted spirits, when they fail to marry
After shooting the scene, Hao thanks the priest for her cooperation
However, the priest strangely asks him,
if there is anything unusual that has happened to him lately
Although confused, Hao replies that everything is fine
He is blessed in both work life and love life
Before leaving, the priest reminds him to take care of himself
Later that rainy day, Yin quickly runs to the elevator, and presses her floor
However, the elevator malfunctions for a while, giving her more creeps as she is alone
Fortunately, she reaches her floor, and prepares to unlock the door,
when she hears something dripping behind her
She does not look behind, quickly opens the door, and shuts it
As she gets inside, Yin is alone as her mother is still at work
After his work, Hao goes home and calls his fiancee
but he receives no answer
So he calls her, but finds her phone on the floor
Shortly after, the fiancee appears and explains that she was in the shower
Hao dismisses it, and shows the fiancee her wedding dress,
explaining that he ran into the dressmaker in the basement
Meanwhile, Yin gets waken up by her toy that mysteriously starts by itself, and falls on her bed
Yin turns it off, and gets out of bed
she steps into blood, followed by the closet door creaking
Yin looks at it through the mirror, and sees someone hiding in her clothes
Although scared, Yin checks her closet; and fortunately, there is no one
Her mother then appears and surprises her with a birthday cake
The following day, while Hao takes pictures of their new set,
he accidentally discovers a hidden room behind the cabinet
But before he can take a good look, the priest stops him, and reminds him not to sneak around
While checking the clips in his office, the Editor comes in,
and gives Hao the wedding tape he edited
Later that night, while they are eating in their apartment, the fiancee suddenly becomes anxious
She questions if Hao is purposely getting busy, so he has no time for her
the fiancee even asks whether Hao is secretly dating anyone
However, Hao reassures her that she has nothing to worry about,
because everything he does is for their future
Instead of replying, the fiancee gives him tongue-massage feedback
After that, the fiancee whispers to Hao that they will stay together forever
On the other hand, Yin weakly tells her mother that she is not feeling very well
As she is not feverish, Yin gets into her room and sleeps
Hours later, she wakes up from her closet door slamming hard
Although scared, Yin checks it; there is no one again
So she immediately returns to the bed, and hides underneath the blanket
However, she hears the closet door creaking;
and when she looks behind, she finds a pair of hands underneath her bed, fixing her slippers
Yin screams in fear as she hides again, causing her mom to rush into her room
She opens the lights, and asks Yin what happened
but Yin lies, and tells her it is just a nightmare
Meanwhile, while Hao watches the wedding tape at his home office,
he notices that the woman in the pictures does not look like his fiancée
the fiancee interrupts Hao, who immediately shuts off the laptop
she wants to see what Hao is watching
but Hao lies and says that it is just a bunch of scary clips for their TV show
she leaves as she is scared of those kinds of things
Later that night, another nightmare visits Hao in his sleep
He is back at the house; but it is abandoned
He takes the oil lamp and roams around,
until he finds a person covered with a blanket, lying on the bed
Hao removes the cover, and is terrified to see a corpse bride
Hao backs up from the shock, accidentally knocking over a dusty picture frame
Hao attempts to wipe the dust off, when he hears the corpse bride moving behind his back
Hao gasps as he wakes up, and realizes that it is just a nightmare
He turns around, where he finds his fiancee is sound asleep
The fear strikes again, as Hao hears the corpse bride moving behind him, before she grabs his face
Hao catches his breath, as he wakes up from another nightmare
The following day, he and Editor go to the Taoism priest for help
With her expertise,
Hao discovers the disturbing reason behind the recent strange events in his life
It reveals that the corpse bride haunting him and giving him nightmares,
is actually related to him in Hao's past life
She started following him the day he was born; and in his past life, Hao died because of her
The priest instructs them to find information about strange death in 19 30,
on the northeast side of his birthplace
The two oblige, go to the local library, and read every newspaper in 19 30,
until they find something
A man that looks exactly like Hao, got killed in a car accident that year
He had a cut on his palm, and severely damaged his head
Later that night, Hao continues to investigate the man
He searches the photograph where he was last seen;
and when Hao zooms in, he imagines the corpse bride camouflaged in the bushes
After a tiring day, Hao gets in the shower,
strangely unaware of a woman's ghost lying in his bathtub, whose water has turned black
Shortly after, the fiancee joins him; and while they shower together,
Hao informs her that he will be away for two days because of work
He reminds her to call him, if anything strange happens while he's away
The following day, while they are stretching for their swim class,
a classmate of Yin and her friend tells them a story
According to their seniors, there was a boy who drowned his girlfriend in the pool,
and committed suicide after
The authorities never found her body
Their coach interrupts them; so the girls take their positions
Yin follows her friend; but then, their classmate mysteriously starts drowning
The coach and the other girls immediately swim to help her; while Yin discovers something else
She finds a girl ghost holding her classmate's feet, drowning her
Yin immediately swims away, and gets to the tiles;
while the others remove the drowned classmate from the water
In the shower room, Yin's friend excuses herself,
as she needs to get her conditioner for her curly hair
As Yin finishes her shower, she finds the room empty, as her classmates have gone
A shampoo bottle rolls over the floor; so Yin knocks on the stall
However, she receives no answer
So she opens it, and finds it empty
Yin backs away from fear, but then gets attacked by the girl ghost
Later that night, Yin's classmates find her digging the soil ground, with her bare hands
They try to stop her
but Yin continues to dig as she cries, until she finds bones
Yin screams in agony, as she holds the bones before fainting
The following day, Yin wakes up in the hospital, with no memory of last night
Her mother is also confused to know; so Yin confesses that she has seen scary ghosts lately
Her mother is not shocked to hear this,
and informs Yin that the ability to see ghosts actually runs in their family
However, Yin's mother is the only one, who does not have it
Her mother shares that if one dies without a proper burial, one's soul will never be reincarnated
On the other side, Hao goes to the place, where his past self died
The gate is open; so Hao walks on the path, leading to the house that he has seen in his dreams
At that same time, while the priest prays for Hao's safety, her candles suddenly blow out
She protects the remaining lit candle with her hand;
but then, the corpse bride behind her creates a ringing sound in the ears
The priest covers her ears from the pain, when the candle blows out
She tries to relight it; but the ringing is too painful,
and the corpse bride suddenly appears in front of her
The priest crawls away when the corpse bride controls her body,
and forces her to stick a sharp tool in her ear
The priest can only scream and groan in pain, as the tool plunges into her
Hao roams around the house, finding familiar photographs on the walls
The grandfather's clock suddenly chimes, causing Hao to see a vision
It is his old self walking on the same path, when he finds a red envelope on the ground
He opens it, and finds a lock of hair and two other things
but then two men suddenly appear, and take him
Hao tries to leave the house, as the pictures fall to the ground; but the door is locked
The house then changes to its old self; and Hao is wearing traditional clothes
Shortly after, his bride arrives at the house;
and the bride's father informs him of her tragic death
She was young and beautiful
but she was infected by a disease, that caused her to decay
Because of this, the bride ran into the woods and killed herself
Hao attempts to free himself
but the two men are stronger than him
The father then adds that she cannot have a proper burial, if he would not marry her today
The ceremony begins; they cut their palms, and pour their blood into two cups
After that, they pour the "wine" into the dead bride's mouth
but before they can do the same to him, Hao breaks free, and runs into the woods
However, he accidentally slips, causing him to fall on the road,
where he gets hit by the coming car
Meanwhile, Yin wakes up from a woman's ghost,
coming out of her closet and crawling underneath her bed
Although scared, Yin takes flash pictures of her bed, all of which have the ghost's face
The spirit suddenly appears in front of her; so Yin rolls over to the corner
She screams in fear, as the ghost gets to her bed, and crawls toward her
Yin runs away, and hides in the living behind the couch
However, the spirit is already behind her;
so Yin backs away, screaming as the ghost crawls toward her
Yin covers her eyes, when she suddenly hears the ghost crying
So Yin faces her fears, and touches the crying ghost
Yin mysteriously becomes calm after that;
and she goes to the apartment in front of theirs, which turns out to be Hao and his fiancee's flat
A foul smell welcomes her
but Yin endures it, and continues to roam around the obviously abandoned flat
She gets to the bathroom,
where she finds the ghost's body lying in the bathtub, filled with black water
Yin runs away from the bathroom, and opens the door, revealing Editor standing outside
For some unknown reason, Yin and Editor go to the place where Hao went
Simultaneously, Hao returns to the present to the abandoned house,
where he finds the bride's corpse, and the dusty picture frame
Hao wipes off the dust, revealing his fiancée's real face
The scene shows that Hao has actually been living with the corpse bride
she deceived and manipulated him, making him believe that she's his fiancee,
and only let him see her beautiful face when she was alive
That's why her face was not in the wedding tape, because she was never Hao's fiancée
Hao cries, as he finally remembers his happy memories with his real finacee
Hao attempts to leave the house; but the corpse bride shows up and stops him
She wraps her hands around him, and whispers, "We will stay together,"
causing him to scream in horror
Shortly after, Editor and Yin arrive at the house,
where they find Hao lying on the bed beside the bride's corpse
The morning comes; and the two help each other give the bride a proper burial to save Hao
While at the hospital, the fiancee's spirit visits Hao, and touches his hand
Hao wakes up from it; but his fiancee has vanished
The film ends with Yin telling the authorities what truly happened
When she touches the fiancee, she lets her see the events before her death
It turns out, Hao and his fiancee were a happy couple before the day Hao touched the red envelope
the fiancee woke up from the dressmaker's emails, updating her about the wedding gown
the fiancee happily gets out of the bedroom to inform Hao;
but then, she finds him talking to someone invisible
the fiancee dismisses it as the dressmaker calls her, and reminds her of their meet-up
However, Hao suddenly attacks her and chokes her
the fiancee tries to fight, and even scratches Hao's chest
but he remains above her, emotionless
He keeps a stern face, as he chokes his fiancee to death
The corpse is in the corner watching them, as she manipulates him,
attempting to kill his fiancee before becoming his corpse bride
Hao then takes the fiancee's body to the bathtub, and leaves her there for God knows how long
