I think the heroine never believed in witchcraft from beginning to end.

Although everyone said that curiosity and sympathy caused the heroine to become deeply convinced of witchcraft step by step. But I think the heroine has never believed in witchcraft from beginning to end. She just believes that the old lady is superstitious, and believes that they believe in witchcraft, that's why the so-called witchcraft works.

Then everyone will naturally ask, if you don’t believe in witchcraft, how can you succeed in changing your soul in the end?

I understand the method of changing souls this way: the heroine does not need to believe that as long as the person involved performs the witchcraft by himself, that is, the steps of drawing circles, chanting, hair, and dripping blood, the witchcraft can be successful. As for what the old lady said later, we waited for a long time until you believe it, it doesn't work if you don't believe. The belief mentioned here does not mean that the person concerned, the heroine, believes in this witchcraft, but refers to the fact that the heroine enters the trap, and she only needs to believe that this so-called witchcraft is only effective for those who believe. It may be a bit convoluted. Let me give you an example. The heroine sprinkled red powder not because she believed in witchcraft, but because she believed that the old lady believed in witchcraft, so sprinkling red powder could stop those who believed in witchcraft. To give another example, she used witchcraft to the old man not because she believed in witchcraft, but because she believed that the old man believed in witchcraft, so she used what the old man believed to help him solve the spell. And the heroine herself doesn’t believe in witchcraft. She draws a circle, chants the spell, and tells the old lady that you can’t hurt me. Get close to me. I used your spell. She means that the witchcraft she is practicing is old. The wife is convinced of witchcraft, so the old lady will not be able to approach her.

In fact, both mirrors and powders are all pretenses. They are all designed by the old lady. The purpose is not to make the heroine believe in witchcraft, but to make her believe in such a theory that witchcraft will only believe in herself. The people worked. This is also a scam, the purpose is for your heroine to perform the witchcraft of soul exchange when she escapes. In other words, why did the lawyer and the old lady pretend to be unable to cross the red powder before? It is to make the heroine believe that witchcraft is effective for people who believe in witchcraft, that is, to make the heroine believe that the old lady and the lawyer believe in witchcraft , So the witchcraft that draws a circle can work for the old lady. But the heroine doesn't know that there is no so-called witchcraft at all. The purpose is to let the heroine throw herself into the trap and complete the sacrifice ritual by herself.


Many of them are translation issues. After the exchange of souls is successful, the people they said nowadays are becoming more and more difficult to deceive, and it is becoming more and more difficult to believe. They only believe when they are angry. This belief is not just a belief. Witchcraft, but belief, witchcraft will work on people who believe in witchcraft. She thought that she could use what the old lady believed to resist the old lady, but she didn't expect that the old lady was not afraid at all, because it was all carefully designed by the old lady.

After reading a lot of explanations, everyone said that the heroine believed in witchcraft. I don't think it is because she believes in witchcraft, whether it is to perform witchcraft for the old man, powder, or cast a spell in a circle, but because she believes that witchcraft is useful for people who believe in witchcraft. For example, she thinks these people are feudal and superstitious, and she uses their feudal superstition to subdue them. Unfortunately, this is the trap the old lady gave her. It is estimated that in the future they will use more and more tricks to deceive people, no matter what you believe, anyway, in the end, they will trick you to the point where they can cast a spell and sacrifice ritual.

Someone asked the mirror, I think the heroine wakes up from dreaming, and seeing ghosts in the mirror, I can only say that she thinks about it day by day and dreams at night, and the old lady tells her a story or something. If she is hypnotized, there must be shadows in her subconscious mind. But this does not mean that she completely believes in voodoo. And even if she believes that voodoo itself still believes that voodoo only works for people who believe in voodoo itself, this is not annoying, as long as she completes the ritual by herself, she will enter the trap.

    Believe it or not. I thought I had guessed the ending, but the ending still surprised me with "Fuck, it's okay".

    About a film about idealism, the specific scoring shots are general but the plot content is good. One of the truths introduced in the whole film is: if you believe in faith, believe it with your heart, and if you don't believe it, then strengthen yourself. However, some of the content here has some dog blood, and it is passed down from generation to generation. It is not an exaggeration to put a song "Live for another five hundred years" here! 4 stars for personal plot, 3 stars for footage, 4.5 stars for roleplay
