The counter-attack of anti-heroism

Because the scene of the head in the washing machine was spoiled before, so I entered the opening of the movie with the mood of watching a ghost movie.
Sure enough, there was no motel in front of the village and no shop in the back of the storm, and all kinds of people with different thoughts gathered in this classic confined space by accident. With the arrival of the police car escorting the murderer, good! The massacre is about to begin, and the police with two knives must not be able to see the murderers. These people are destined to die one after another. what! A classic that can no longer be clichéd. So, I began to make a wise inference, in American movies, Eddie who appeared as a hero will definitely live to the end, and the annoying female star is definitely the first to be killed. Oh, and also, the hero must be accompanied by beautiful women, Hey, I think Miss Paris is very good, and it must be these two who survived in the end.
As the speculation was verified one by one, as a horror movie lover, I couldn't help but start to feel complacent. Murderers are not murderers, not surprising. But after the murderer was also brutally murdered, as the number of criminal suspects decreased one by one, the plot suddenly became confusing. Suddenly, my so-called hero was strapped to a wheelchair and interrogated by a judge and a psychiatrist. It turned out that the so-called confined space was just a place where many personalities of this multi-personality murderer gathered together, and the so-called hero was just one of these personalities that was not special. Still caught in the director's trap, he even preconceived that the mentally ill person mentioned in the title was automatically brought into the unfortunate prisoner in the motel, ignoring the completely different looks of these two people. While blaming myself for not being meticulous, I still felt a little proud that in any case, Miss Paris still happily went back to her hometown to plant oranges.
The neglected child appeared. The damage suffered in childhood is really indelible. The so-called heroes and the so-called murderers have become so vulnerable in the face of the huge energy released from the twisted personality formed since childhood. In Hollywood, where heroism still occupies the mainstream value, I wonder if Identity is a counterattack?
