The setting is that the water in the aquifer here is poisonous, but eels can live here for three hundred years, and the normal lifespan is only ten years. The baron, that is, the boss, discovered that as long as people drink water, Through the action of eel, a certain essence can be produced, which can prolong life and cure diseases. Eel + human is equivalent to a filter. Of course, in the end, people will be gradually squeezed dry by this process. In the end, the dried man was also thrown into an underground cave for the eels to eat. So in this setting, a lot of behavior is also explained.

1. The hospital always asks people to drink more water to prepare for extracting the essence.

2. When the male protagonist is drinking water, he finds that there are worms in the cup. It is estimated that it is a corpse worm or something, or a parasite in an eel? It doesn't feel like a good thing anyway.

3. After reading some movie reviews, it is said that the male protagonist loses his teeth as an illusion, and it is true that he is drilled later. I disagree, because the male protagonist received a treatment before and almost drowned. This treatment should also belong to extracting essence. A preparatory step, so it is harmful to the body and the cause of tooth loss.

4. The baron is the dean, and the heroine is his daughter, needless to say...

Personal notes, please detour if you don't like it.

    Looking at the trailer, I thought it was similar to the psychological suspense of "Closed Island", but it was actually Gothic horror. The overall audiovisual language is very good, and the script is slightly weaker. The face of the heroine is simply the face of the most horrible movie since the heroine of "The Shining"
