The director is good at shooting the subject of bloody abuse and has the style of "new French extremism". His masterpiece "Martyred" tells about an innocent girl who became the prey of an underground cult, was tortured all the year round, and finally sacrificed in extreme forms. The story of death. It is believed that the audience who watched this film will be deeply shocked by the abusive scenes and dark and depressive ending. This new work still has such bloody and violent images. But the most outstanding thing is still the replacement of reality and fantasy scenes, which cleverly presents the changes in the protagonist’s stream of consciousness, creating various unexpected reversals in the narrative, and the common jump scare technique in American horror dramas makes the plot become Compact and exciting, full of horror atmosphere. Similar to "Martyred", the owner shared a fantasy to fight against the cruel real world, but still couldn't get rid of the tragic experience (the mother was killed, the sister was captured after escaping). However, in order to cater to the tastes of mainstream audiences, this work may have arranged an old-fashioned "last rescue" ending, which immediately weakened the tragic meaning of the story. In addition, the villain’s portrayal is rather vague, and it is a pity that the audience cannot understand the motives of their perverted behavior.

    70/100. The contrast between imagination and reality, the imprisonment and abuse of mind and body, the touching sisterhood in desperation. I thought it was a ghost movie about a haunted doll, but it was actually a thriller about perverted murder.

    Without that reversal, the movie itself is ok. But with that reversal, the movie becomes okay. It is a pity that a good concept was not dig deep, and it was scribbled in the end. Wouldn't it be better if the story was reversed and a normal person found out that his dead sister kept asking her for help, slowly exploring and discovering the horrific truth?
