When the weaknesses that let men do whatever they want are gone

After watching this film, I thought of a question: Where does the atmosphere of terror in horror thriller movies come from? I think it may be that things that we are already familiar with suddenly show a different side, and they become unfamiliar and uncontrollable. For example, the telephone, TV in the bell at midnight, elevators, offices, parking lots, and apartments in many movies are all places where horror events take place, and children who appear as ghosts. . . Those things that were supposed to be harmless, those things that we don't watch out for every day, suddenly turned into demons; those things that were the safest environment for us suddenly turned into hell on earth - I think this is the most terrifying Bar.
The crime scene in hard candy is jeff's house, which is spacious, bright and suburban. But when the horror journey begins, every part of the house becomes a tool used by loli, bleach is used to seal the mouth, new and complete knives become scalpels, and the large kitchen table becomes a castration table. The rubbish shredder in the sink became a place for castrated objects. . .

The scariest thing is loli. She is no longer a silly child who is curious about everything and wants to prove to men that she is a woman, but she has become the goddess of nemesis, controlling everything, and planning for a long time.

—Are you just kidding, teenagers game? "Untie me, I'll call you a taxi and take you home."
——teenager, right, but, game, wrong!

——Then you don’t dare to hurt me, how can you tell your mother? You will regret it for the rest of your life! Every time you fall in love you think about it.
——Mom will say, does the experimental class have to come true~ ——I

will find you, and I will not let you have good fruit to eat!
- Do you think I'm telling the truth to you? Is my name really Haley?

——Your childhood must be unhappy, your parents like your sister, ignore you, and no one cares about you. If you want, I can hug you and make you cry in my arms, if you don't, I'll stay away.
——It's useless, my family is very good, and my father is not a medical school teacher!

——I didn't do anything to my cousin when I was a child, but my aunt did that to me,, and I never saw my cousin again. . .
- Well, nice story, you mean this thing made you a pedophile?

When a girl, not even a little woman, loses all those weaknesses that let men do whatever they want, when praise doesn't get her lost, when games are no longer her focus, when kindness and guilt can't evoke her weakness, when intimidation can't Let her stop, when a warm embrace that can cry can no longer deceive her trust and habitation, and when a man exposes his sad memories, he can't win her pity. . .

Maybe the scariest place is here, even if I'm a woman. When I saw that the "methods" that might work for me were withered one by one in front of the little loli, when I repeatedly replaced myself and couldn't lift the scalpel, I admit that this is a very scary movie.
