After watching the new world before, the unexpected ending at the end of the film, in the background music of Satan your kindom must come down, all the tragedy and violence come to an end.

Park Xunzheng's suspense and rhythm grasp Zhang Chi is skilled and skilled. Whenever you think the plot must be like this, it starts to turn. In fact, there is nothing unusual about the crime story itself, and the theme of revenge is one of the classic drama templates. However, with Lee Byung-hun and Choi Min-sik's bright interpretations, Director Park's original intention should have been to torture humanity, dance with the ghost, even if it's just a lynching party. It won't change you, whether you can make Satan, who is afraid of numbness, repent or regret. From the end of this film, Lee Byung-hun's character is admitting defeat. It can only be done with hasty lynching, without causing the other party to fear or let him go through purgatory torture. After the lynching is completed, justice will not be obtained, and the family will suffer as a result, and the lover will not be able to come back to life. You know, that's why he cried so desperately.

Probably the only way to get revenge on the devil is to join him and turn yourself into a devil too.

People who watch it with excessive violence are hearty, but this kind of movie rated R by the United States may not be suitable for teenagers, and even some adults.
