But in a blink of an eye, the first half is over, and after the patients who lost sleep because of "seeing owls" either committed suicide or were paralyzed, the story began to feel dull.
The story of the second patient's paralysis left me with a lot of incomprehension, because there were many people who experienced the incident, including the patient's wife, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Taylor's friend, and a linguist. There were four people present. But when I was interrogated by the police, no one gave a testimony for the doctor, and why did the doctor flee in a hurry after the incident? The video also clearly records the hypnosis process. It was only spent when the patient started screaming. Why? It's considered intentional injury, and I'm puzzled by that.
At the same time, the linguist appeared inexplicably, because a book had a label, and he hung up the phone without even saying his name, but a linguist would call back, and he could just go to a I can only fly to a remote town and say a few words that make people imagine when there are only three doctors, a doctor's friend, and a linguist. After experiencing paralyzing hypnosis, it disappeared for no reason, and it was hypnotized twice, as if this person had never appeared.
There are still many details worth scrutinizing. For example, in the end, Dr. Taylor was lying on the hospital bed, and the police were questioning. Friends have communicated; in addition, in the video of the heroine being hypnotized behind, the friend who hypnotized her has never existed, and in the dialogue with the alien, the alien started speaking Sumerian directly. Changed to speak English, and said "I am god...".
Writing here, I am more and more convinced that all this is actually an illusion of the heroine. Because my beloved husband committed suicide, and I, as a psychiatrist, didn't notice it, so I felt extremely guilty, and maybe I had some insomnia because of this. After hearing the statement that all three patients saw owls, I thought that there were indeed some cases of missing persons in the town. The idea of alien abductions became so ingrained that, to add to his credibility, he even fantasized about a friend who was also a psychiatrist and a linguist. And the disappearance of her daughter made her even more devastated, and she became more determined to "alien abduction"! "I am god" is not the words of aliens, but the despair of the heroine from the heart. She believes that all these tragic events happened because of Ruled by an irresistible force like God.
At the end of the movie, when the host asked, your husband committed suicide, how can we believe that what you said is the truth? The heroine said that that experience happened and it was desperate, and I had to believe it, so that there would be hope, and I could tell myself that my daughter is actually alive, maybe she lives somewhere... Maybe she Just wanted to say that the experience of her husband committing suicide, her daughter disappearing, her son not understanding, and the police and neighbors thinking she was going crazy was despairing, so she gave herself an illusion and convinced herself that those experiences were actually aliens. Make trouble, give yourself an excuse, give yourself a hope to live...
I have always believed that there are aliens in this world, there are ghosts and unknown superpowers. Fear because of the unknown, some people blindly reject it, and some blindly accept it.
All of the above may be bugs in the movie, or maybe the screenwriter and director have left room for the movie for viewers to speculate on their own. Anyway, these are my personal opinions. This is because the introduction said that the film is quite scary, and I wanted to find some excitement for myself. As a result, I came up with so many opinions. I can only say that as a thriller, it is not qualified, but as a suspense movie, it seems to be qualified.
