A person screamed several times while watching, jumped up from the bench several times, couldn't bear to pause and took a deep breath several times, and in the second half, he covered his eyes and took off his glasses to watch. (It's really challenging my nerves, and I won't watch horror movies by myself in the near future. I'm not as strong as I think.)
1. Fear is more derived from the unknown.
I have seen similar horrors before, but because I always fast-forward, the rhythm of the plot is disrupted. I go directly in and face the problem, but I am not too afraid. Because I don't know what I will encounter, and I don't know when the monsters will appear, but it is the most terrifying time. Just like the fearful things we encounter in life, such as interviews, performances, speeches, exams, showdowns, etc., the most disturbing time is before it happens, when the real reality comes, but calm down. Depending on the situation, accept, change, challenge, etc., even failure seems to be a natural thing.
The best way to deal with fear is to face it and deal with it.
2. Human nature has a part of animal nature. Even the weakest little doctor took out his knife and died with the monster at the end. Unless we push to a certain level, we never know where we will get.
Imagine yourself in that environment, how much humanity is left? What to do when faced with a choice. Could it be that she was the best to lure away monsters when her companions were shouting loudly? Will you summon the courage to fight with monsters for your companion's body after your companion is killed? Will he abandon him after manslaughtering his comrade? Will he personally give his companions some peace before he dies? Will she take revenge on her companions in this environment and leave her to feed the monsters? Will it also become a monster?
3. Confined, dark will stimulate the darkness in people's hearts. Narrow dark passages, closed and silent spaces, dark environments, and wet, sticky air make people feel depressed and suffocated. If the story were set in an outside space, the horror would be drastically reduced in broad daylight. The Walking Dead, for example, doesn't have this horror.
3. What I understand better is Juno, but I think Sarah is the darkest in her heart. Sarah had finally become a monster, and the evil face before slashing Juno was deeply terrified. People who used to be so delicate and gentle can become so unfamiliar! ! ! ! so horrible!
Juno's affair with Paul must have been unfair to Salah and owed. The movie doesn't explain much, and it's not clear what happened. The only clues are that Juno really loves Paul and Sarah. She is full of guilt, but is it all her fault? It would be wrong to sentence Juno to death because of this. She was 100% accidental in killing Beth. Facing her own fault, she escaped. This was her cowardice and evasion. At the end of the story, Juno didn't give up on Sarah. When Sarah raised the sharp blade to her, she looked guilty, helpless, shocked, but not angry or hated until the knife hit her. Incredible, no resistance at all! She never lost her humanity.
And what about salad? When her partner was injured, she not only did not care and help but left the team and kept causing trouble. She has never protected anyone or helped anyone. She is the most selfish one. She only believed what she wanted to believe. In her memories and grief, there are only children and no sign of Paul. Does this also mean that she does not love him at all? Then why did she take this point as the moral high ground to kill Juno?
She started going in to demonize after killing Beth. She brutally killed the little monster, entered the blood pool and appeared calmly. When the monster crawled over her head, she remained motionless and her eyes were terrifying. At that time, the monster family of three was more affectionate. They loved their children and their family, but what about Salad? ? She is like a monster! No, she has become a monster! ! ! Monster showdown, whoever is more cruel will survive. In the end, Juno can still be considered a human, so she can't survive.
In the end, her actions were very similar to those monsters. No matter whether she went out or not at the end, her heart must have fallen into darkness.
(Imagine that if she really escapes, it may not take long for her to be friendly and normal again. If she does not encounter challenges, she may be a good person in everyone's eyes for a lifetime.)
