If you want to add a pre-dinner dessert to your nightmares at night

If you want to add a pre-dinner dessert to your nightmares at night, I recommend watching this movie before bed.
There are almost no bloody scenes, but the perverted atmosphere created by the film, the unusually calm and rational cruelty, definitely tests the humanity of every normal person. The story was originally ordinary, but after the turning point, it looks like the heroine's face, giving you infinite unknowns, depression and fear.

After the film END, the subtitles tell you grimly: The film is based on real events that happened in Indiana in 1965, and the shooting is mainly based on court records at that time. Soft sofas, fruit wine and tea are right in front of you, and this world does happen and a lot happens in the dark corners that you don't know. Regarding violence, mental illness and abuse, when they are magnified in front of your eyes, you are bound to value and cherish health and light without hesitation.
