To put it simply, I have written a lot of movie reviews, and they are all saved in the memo on my iPhone, but some things will eventually be lost, and those movies that were once unforgettable have long forgotten the plot, so now it is a memo, just for myself. Film critics, it is not shy to let those films in the impression meet again.

I took a few glances at other people's reviews of the film, and indeed, the style of the film was a bit youthful and light-hearted like "European Sex Travel" at the beginning, and it didn't become tense until the first companion disappeared.

In fact, what impressed me most about this movie was not the development of the plot. I had seen many more twisted and novel works before. What impresses me is that the killing factory, in the dilapidated building, is divided into huts of less than ten square meters, and it is playing a killing game all the time, oh no no, it is a slaughtering game. Simple, brutal, and bloody, the tools of criminal punishment are nothing more than awls, vices, and chainsaws. For me, a pseudo-literary youth, it is a bit ugly. But I think that what the director wants to express may be those who are more suave on the surface, but the more vulgar and primitive in nature. They dress up as butchers and unleash their animal nature in that 10-square-meter hut. I believe that if Give them a pair of sharp teeth, and they will rush to eat human flesh and skin raw without hesitation. This is the so-called Human Skin Inn.

I am afraid that one day, we will become numb and dull like the tall, hunchbacked uncle who handles corpses, after being used to such things. Even if they weren't involved in the killing, those who died would be chopped up one by one and thrown into the fire as if they didn't exist.

In short, for someone like me who has never passed CET 4 and just returned from a solo trip in Europe for a month, it’s good to be alive, don’t be ridiculous.
