I choose, I accept

Maybe this is the first time I've given a horror movie such a high score. A high score because I don't think it's just a horror movie, unmasking the horror that hides a leather whip inside.

What does it mean when your compassion meets the consideration of your personal future? What weight does your beloved pet have in the face of your own life? When you could give a curse on yourself like a gift, who would you choose? The original title of the film is drag me to the hell, and the translation title "Fall into Hell" seems to be more in line with the spirit of the film. Drag is completely passive, and "fall" has active factors in it. As the protagonist said at the end, it was her own choice that caused all this. At first she chose a personal future and pushed the poor old woman away, perhaps morally not so good, but beyond reproach, as ordinary people, we are not necessarily better than her when faced with her situation. The difference is that she ends up being dragged into hell.

Of course, it is indeed a little unfair for the loss of a single thought out of a little selfish desire to end up in such a tragic end. It's unfair because she offended an old gypsy lady who would curse. Although she was kind and tried her best to make up for it afterward, she was ultimately doomed. We don't need to worry about this, although there is a saying in ancient times that "the cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unhappy", and every sin in life has a corresponding hell in the underworld, but haven't we broken the feudal superstition now? Haven't these awe-inspiring things been thrown into the gutter of history as dross? Today, when we are faced with the choice of harming ourselves and benefiting others or benefiting ourselves, we can choose between "the little ones hidden under the leather robes".

The director of the film is Sam Raimi, director of the "Spider-Man" series. He was born in horror B-level films. Filming a commercial blockbuster like "Spider-Man" is considered a ticket, and this film is a kind of regression. The horror elements in the film are really B-level. Maggots, eyeballs, and mucus take turns to go into battle. Can you, who can withstand the shock of the elements of terror, escape that whip?

    Maggots, flies vomit sticky things, eyeballs, mud... and plasma only appeared once. The second is the shocking sound effects. In the film, the heroine’s boyfriends asked to marry a lover, but watched his lover be dragged into hell..... This kind of old gypsy woman is too rubbish, she should go to hell, and the granddaughter of the old lady, too A bitch! I'm so angry after watching this movie. According to the regulations, there is still this kind of fate.

    I met Sam Raimi entirely through "Spider-Man". I took a closer look at his profile today, but I didn't expect that he had been filming B-level horror films all the time. The film is the latest return to his horror genre. He doesn't abuse special effects, and he combines psychological suspense and scary scenes quite well. Worth a look. Three and a half.
