But for most thrillers, this method only works for the first half.
When watching the movie, the motives of the characters are unclear, and the audience will feel a sense of being fooled. After that, the audience will habitually question the motives of the characters, the development of the film, and the director. For a thriller, this is terrible. When the audience is in a state of doubt, it is difficult to be driven by the plot. When the film reaches the middle section, the characters' motives are ambiguous and the plot becomes blunt. When Becca leaves the safer apartment with Martin in his arms and returns to the dangerous house, the audience is embarrassed that cancer has already committed, and even more Needless to say, the faint neon light in the front can save Becca's life, and the embarrassing setting of holding a flashlight in the back and being slapped to the ground.
Because of these vague plot trends, the audience is still in a state of WTF. Therefore, in the climax part, even the intensive horror scenes that the director plays with great effort cannot push the audience to the climax.
If the plot is not as smooth as Dove, and there will never be a good thriller film, I want to come with the heart of wanting to be frightened into a dog. Don't make me want to eat hot dogs during the climax.
Your time is very valuable, please don't believe the high-scoring movies written by PO masters at station A and station B.
