At first I thought the introduction above was just a gimmick, and the North American box office of the film was not very good. For a long time, I have dissatisfied American horror movies. I feel that their special effects are abused, too bloody, and scared by purely terrifying monster images. The disgusting is greater than the horror, and it is not comparable to Japanese films that focus on psychological fear. However, after watching this film, I was really shocked! I found that Hollywood has also learned to make this kind of psychological horror movie! If you want to come to Hollywood, you must have learned a lot of tricks from films such as "Midnight Ring" and "The Grudge". This film does not directly portray how terrifying the image of the wraith is like most American horror movies, but shows its terrifying side through its screams, other people’s horrified expressions, and the heroine’s painful struggle. This is catching Inhabit the root of human terror-unknown. When you know that there is a resentful spirit around you, but you can't see it or touch it, you don't know when it will come and go, and you don't know what it wants to do, this is the most terrifying. At the end of the film, the screenwriter and director gave their own understanding of this historical event that has no reasonable explanation. This is also a common problem of horror movies, and the audience must understand it. In my opinion, this is purely superfluous. It is obviously more shocking to end with the propaganda "So far, the residents of the small town where the tragedy occurred are still living in the shadow of terror".
