The town can escape, but there is nowhere to escape in my heart

...The whole film gives people a weird and horrible feeling. Although there are no consecutive horrible images, it is always disturbing. This feeling is given to the film, and it is rare to do it unconventionally. Conversely, think about every character in the film with some weird behavior, the two main locations, the hotel and the gas station, are also very weird. The atmosphere of the film is instantly created, which shows the director's skill. The final ending of the film is that the husband and wife killed the town police and fled in a hurry. Although they fled the town, I don't know if the next place will be full of calm and terror, just as they fled the city. In fact, it is not a certain place to escape, but to escape from the heart that can never be forgiven.
In addition, there are two plots that feel unreasonable in the film. One is why the town police did not directly kill the male protagonist after killing the former boss of the hotel. Instead, they returned to the town and kidnapped his wife. The other is that the husband and wife ran away in a hurry after killing the policeman. There was no aftermath, which was not in line with the male protagonist’s calm personality and common sense.
It tells how the couple took over a hotel and moved to a small town away from the busy city in order to avoid the pain of losing their beloved daughter. Unexpectedly, the hotel and the people in the town were full of weirdness, as the town police suggested, "Everyone here is unusual." Then the husband discovered that the town police had killed a girl in this hotel, and when the town police wanted to kill her, the husband counter-killed him, and then fled the town with his wife.
