I've been a little addicted to non-monster horror suspense movies lately.

The overall is good, the atmosphere is well created, it is not a traditional horror film type, this film achieves the effect of chilling people's back through the portrayal of a woman with an angel's appearance and a devil's heart. The audience is shocked and fearful, but also Feeling the weakness of human nature: jealousy, hatred, selfishness, greed, these emotions lock the hearts of human beings, and sometimes hope seems so vague in front of them, making it difficult to calm down... Maybe now the theory of evil sex can convince me more, maybe Some people are born bad. However, some of the complex logic in the film has some problems: the male protagonist's excessive trust in Esther and excessive suspicion of his wife make his role extremely stupid. He seems to be too stupid. It would be outrageous to enter the ICU at will, and it would be outrageous if there is no surveillance. The efficiency of the police investigation is also really low. It is also bizarre that Esther escaped from Eastern Europe to the United States and forged his identity all the way without being found. , although it can be regarded as a plot development and comedy effect to make everything just right to trigger the plot, but it still seems a bit awkward to me who values ​​logic. Anyway, I also feel that this film has some political metaphors in it, maybe it's people's long-term fear and hostility towards the Soviet Union→(??), the roles of people from Eastern Europe and Russian descent in American film and television dramas are basically All are villains.
