Director Wes Craven did not use the bloody massacre scenes he has always been good at in the film. Instead, he played an intellectual game with the audience and played it decently. The first half of the film is played in the "cat and mouse" scene, and the second half is the traditional "murder in the secret room". The suspense runs through the whole film. When all the mysteries are solved, it is also when the theater ends. At the same time, suspense is also "one-off" and it is easy to be fooled. In addition, the sweet looks of the heroine Rachel McAdams also played a role in neutralizing the horror atmosphere of the movie.
The film is pretty good as a horror film. In addition to the horror movies of the psychic, the horror and suspense of the confined space have gradually become a relatively outstanding film genre. The film excellently shows the symptom of the fear of flying. However, the market operation of the film is not very good. The issuer did not focus on suspense when launching the trailer. This factor may attract veteran horror film fans to the scene, but the crucial role of suspense is absent, especially It is invisibly weakening a lot of attraction for young audiences.
