Responding to strong emotions: calm fear, tender evil, rational grief. The low level of the head-up view symbolizes lurking and peeping. In the high-rise New York City, high-level citizens are still surrounded and coerced. The speed of the camera becomes the key to unlocking the mystery, sometimes holding your breath, sometimes screaming.

Polanski's first Hollywood film and its first adaptation - based on the novel of the same name by Ira Levine. The movie that was originally directed by Xi Fat still played a bit of Xi Fat in Polanski's hands. A historical horror film that doesn't need a horror scene at all! Dazed like a dream of a ship at sea, he was violated by Satan in the "dream". Under the same clock ticking as "Cold Blood", the audience can't help but wonder if it is a mental problem caused by psychological anxiety. And the use of horror (horror) methods is better than "Tianshi Catching the Demon", and the two are also the eve of evil coming to the world. Obviously, Polanski will show more female psychology. I wonder if the mapping of religion in the story is one of the factors in the Manson case? The audience follows Mia Farrow's reborn change from beginning to end, and it is perfect in terms of psychological horror! The whole is also close to perfect and deserves full marks, because it is worth repainting and even pulling tabs.
