Three and a half. Wow, this horror movie is kind of funny. Haunted by evil spirits, chasing and killing Souhun. To get out, some kind of contact is needed to pass on to the next person. "Midnight Bell" is about watching a videotape, here it is about sex, a catastrophe after a brief pleasure. Compared with the literal translation of "It's Behind", the Taiwan version's translated name has a pun: "Spiritual Disease", the name is similar to a certain venereal disease, the transmission route is similar, and the metaphor is obvious. The evil spirits came without a trace, with strange shapes, and the pressure of the slow approaching step by step was terrifying. Teenage issues, missing family hubs, sex education, social safety, crisis of trust, movie content is all-encompassing. The lens language is clever. The large-scale circular rotation and swing not only highlights the flustered expression on the character's face, but also enhances the sense of fear on the spot. It is like a rear mirror waiting for the evil spirit to approach, and it is even more frightening. There are not many horror scenes in the movie, and the anxiety and unknown encounters in waiting make people panic, producing aftertastes and endless brain supplements. Especially the kind that deliberately made the face of the evil spirit out of focus, and a group of paintings changed in a peaceful atmosphere, trailing loomingly behind the shadows, and silently came a short distance away. Hesitant, staggering, and screaming. It's like those supernatural videos circulating on the Internet. There were even short-term sequelae, and if I saw someone pacing towards me, I couldn't help but shiver. "Hey, did you see him?" "I can't find a partner, hello!"

  • Yara: I have an idea!

    Paul: What?

    Yara: [tilts to one side and farts loudly] It got away.

  • Hugh: Okay, even though it is following you I can still see it. It is not done with me either. Okay, like I told you, all you can do is pass it on to someone else.

    Kelly Height: What the fuck are you talking about?

    Hugh: She can do the same thing I did. It should be easier for her, she is a girl. Any guy would be with you. Just sleep with someone else and tell him to do the same thing. Maybe it will never come back.
