Watching the originally happy and peaceful family of three fall into the trap set by two mentally ill patients step by step, let them be tortured, insulted and mutilated, unable to survive, unable to die, and the most basic dignity and freedom of life become in the film. Fragile, nothing exists.
At the beginning of the film, I saw Paul and Peter sitting in plain clothes, wearing golf gloves, slightly melancholy eyes, and cautious politeness, and I could feel the slightest chill. Such people are either homosexual or mentally ill, but they never thought that everything that happened afterwards was full of violence and blood.
The story has no plot or explanation. Paul and Peter have no motive for hijacking and hurting Anna's family, only pleasure. Everything happened so naturally, the logic and behavior of normal people will be ruined under the logic and behavior of extraordinary people, until they lose their lives.
The film is for the audience to experience a total despair. Traditional justice will eventually defeat evil. The hope of survival from desperation is unceremoniously subverted in this film. Even Anna raised the shotgun to kill one of the two sick men's venting plot, but the director used the remote control to "pour" back and start again. The mentality of "just to kill you" filled all of them. The film rapes the audience's senses.
Why is it so? It's like the Anna couple innocently asked two sick men, "Why do they hurt us?" Although this film is classified as a horror film, it is by no means a simple visual horror, but a spiritual horror with reflective significance. In the plot, there is a plot in which a sick man narrates the painful childhood experience of another sick man. It seems that any hidden psychological danger is hidden in a childhood experience.
But do I have to repay irrelevant people twice when I have been injured? What right does Paul and Peter have to enter other people’s homes, violate other people’s bodies, and even deprive them of their lives. Killing is not terrible. What is terrible is unreasonable killing. Any unreasonable behavior in life is worthy of fear. The behavior of the two sick men is reminiscent of depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
One detail of the film is impressive. Before the murderer performed his first killing, he used the remote control to switch the TV channels boringly; when Anna's son was headshot, there was a close-up of the plasma-drenched TV; when the murderer temporarily left, he was tied up with his hands and feet. After Anna stood up hard, the first thing she did was to turn off the noisy TV. Television has made killings more real, and it is also a wonderful satire of the era of mass media.
