The American version of "Ghost Shadow" has added the elements of Japanese ghost films, and combined with the disgusting and bloody elements of American horror films, it can quite affect the nerves.
Personally, I said that I like the first heroine Jane very much. She belongs to the type of woman who dares to love and hate. When you love Ben, you can take him in your arms regardless of the flies that fly out of his mouth, and tell him: I'm here. Then, after learning that Ben had done such an outrageous thing to that Japanese girl, he resolutely slammed the door and left him. There is no trace of nostalgia...
And that female ghost, let's call her a Japanese girl, she is a tragic figure, and she also has clear grievances. She killed the two beasts who raped her, and drove her former lover crazy, but she did not take out her anger with her. Jane, who is also Ben's lover, reminds Jane with photos and helps Jane. Speaking of which, many living people cannot do this. But she, the dead Japanese girl, did it. I have admiration for her, she's much better than a lot of horror movie ghosts who randomly kill for no reason.
The last shot is of Ben staying in the nursing home, and the mirror on the door reflects the Japanese girl lying on his back. This may be regarded as a kind of perseverance~
