This movie review is very difficult to write. If you don't say the ending, then the movie review will only be written in a cloud and fog, and it will not meet the director's true intention, but it is not suitable for watching this movie after writing the ending. There are very few people, and the film review is even a recommendation.

French horror or thriller films have always taken a psychological line, which is very different from Hollywood, but this film is an exception. Anyone who has seen "Blair Witch" will find some deja vu in this film.
The film begins with a mother and daughter stuck in the jungle in the middle of the night due to an accidental crash, and then attacked by Mo Ming.
This is the title, very similar to the usual Hollywood title.
The real story begins with a female teacher.

The female teacher left the hustle and bustle of the city and went to a villa deep in the jungle to find her writer boyfriend. This plot is like a group of young people going on vacation in an American teen horror movie.
That villa is simply a manor, located in the depths of the dense forest. Although two people live in a quiet and comfortable place, they can't help but feel a sense of alienation, and there is a kind of horror in it.
Therefore, the clips reflecting the feelings of the two people are slowly performed, and the shots are peaceful and easy-going. However, due to the style of this villa, there are countless depths of field and small spaces in the shots, all of which reveal a kind of instability. , as if it will break out at any time, just don't know when it will break out.

Night finally came, and the director used several empty mirrors. Everyone who watched the movie knew that something had happened, but what happened is what we want to see.
The film has been played here, and it has quite the effect of "Texas".
Sure enough, strange noises began to sound.
The next episode can be skipped. Because in my opinion, most films like "Texas" are chased after each other, and then die one by one. Houses and tools are more important than actors. The only thing that can break through is to see if it is a chainsaw or a novelty of a detail.
Unfortunately, I didn't find any outstanding detail in this film.

In order to preserve the sense of mystery, it is inconvenient for me to disclose what the monster that drives the female teacher and the male writer to the core is.
But to make a point, it seems that Ils can be translated as "they".
In a villa far away from the city, in the deepest part of the jungle, this sense of alienation is conceivable, so monsters will inevitably appear, which is fundamentally different from "Blair Witch". Horror-thriller shell-packaged films will also come to light.
The French used Mei's way of shooting, which seemed nothing new, but the final ending tells us that this is still a French film.
Maybe it's an attempt by the French filmmakers, I think so!
