The Buddhists say that sorrow arises out of love, and fear arises out of love. If one is separated from love, there will be no worry and no fear. It's a word that speaks volumes. But human nature naturally has desire, which is also one of the driving forces of life, and once there is desire, it will give the "devil" an opportunity to take advantage.
The female protagonist longs to have a child, the male protagonist longs for career success, and the evil wizards long to create the children of Satan to destroy the world. When these desires are intertwined, terrible things happen. The wizards used the male protagonist's desire to lure the female protagonist step by step, step into the woven trap, complete the evil sacrifice, and finally give birth to the son of the devil.
The prey is lured by a piece of "meat" and falls into a trap, which is terrifying. But what's more terrifying than this is that when the prey is about to be killed by the trap, he is aware of his departure. What is even more terrifying is that the prey struggles to escape the trap, but in the end pushes itself one step closer to death time and time again.
The prey is caught by the trap while struggling. At this point, the movie can be ended, but the director has added another stroke. At this point, the prey still can't let go of the "meat", and even finally chose to become part of the trap.
In my opinion, this is not a horror movie at all, but a family movie. A husband who is ambitious but frustrated in his career, a wife who is pure and kind but lonely, and what hides beneath the surface of love is a relationship between husband and wife that has long been stagnant. At this time, the appearance of a child can often stimulate new vitality in the family, so it is logical that the heroine needs a child.
When a husband is not longing for children, what he longs for is success, living in a mansion in Beverly Hills, and becoming a famous actor. In order to achieve this goal, he sacrificed his wife and children to the devil to make a deal.
The original husband, with a touch of humanity, was ashamed of blinding his competitors for the role. But with the great pleasure of success, the husband has become more and more extreme, and he has completely become a slave to his own desires, a member of the devil.
The heroine is a fragile and helpless little white rabbit, a housewife who is isolated from the world. When her husband cuts off all contact with the outside world, the heroine becomes completely isolated and helpless. Her desire was turned into a noose by the closest person, making her willingly put her neck in, and use her own flesh and blood to send her husband into the glamorous Vanity Fair. Without the help of her husband, the heroine would not have been controlled by the cult, nor would there be a series of tragedies that followed.
This is more like a real marriage metaphor, a woman bound by a child, a husband of a blood-sucking wife with peace of mind, in such a family relationship, the child is not the "son of Satan" to the mother, but the saddest thing is that the mother To love a child, this kind of love transcends reason and morality. Even if he is a deformed monster, he makes the mother's life unfortunate, and the mother still loves the child.
It's no wonder that this film is rated as an anti-marriage and anti-parenting film, which really makes people feel cold.
