Never forget "Cruel Angel in Mask"

PS I just said that the layout and scene scheduling of the doctor’s manor in the film are so similar to the hotel in the "Scary" produced in the same year. I found the same team.

Christina, the classic mask image is too great, the pinnacle of horror film aesthetics. Even if it was just a glimpse of the stills when I was watching a movie when I was young, I can't forget the beautiful sadness that combines sorrow and horror for many years. When I first watched it, I actually didn't understand why my daughter had to wait for the third victim before letting others escape. Or according to the way of Hollywood screenwriters, maybe when the second victim screams, add a scene of Christina being fainted by the sudden appearance of her father and secretary. Christina, the "perfect victim," may be less morally controversial, but in this case, the image of the "cruel angel wearing a mask" is less interesting.

Isn't the most fascinating thing about this film that Christina is full of innocent and cruel contradictions brought about by the thrilling beauty. She can be both a lamenting bird in a cage, and a wayward child who is selfish and pursuing beauty. Just because the other person is afraid of her disfigured face, she can ignore the life and death of the victim and undergo a face change operation. I can also let go of the next victim because I can't stand the torture of plastic surgery. She personally killed the secretary who had taken care of herself for many years, let go of the same trapped dog, and indirectly killed her father. It didn't matter whether she was resentful or out of desire for freedom. However, even if she is not a completely innocent character, even if she wears a mask like a lifeless doll, we are still fascinated by her enchanting temperament and childlike innocence outside the screen.
