When it comes to Sam Raimi, the first thing that may arouse more people's reactions is the "Spider-Man" series. But you must know that he is also a big player in the field of horror films. Just after the weak crown, he made the famous and classic "Ghost Playing People". Today, he is the director or producer of horror films. There are too many to enumerate, but it makes the three "Spider-Man" seem quite alternative.

"Fall into Hell" is the last horror film directed by Sam Raimi so far, and it still follows the old path of "exorcism" in horror films. Unlike most exorcism horror films, this film does not exaggerate the so-called "exorcism ritual", and even the commonly used "holy water" or "cross" and other exorcism holy objects do not appear. Correspondingly, the director injected a dark humor with a sense of fatalism into the film, making "Fall into Hell" a little less conventional.

Speaking of which, the heroine Christine was indeed the murderer of the "Broom Star". She didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone. She just obeyed the banking system and acted according to the rules. After the poison curse, he has been haunted by nightmares since then, and finally his life is not guaranteed. The dark humor of the film is that the fate of the characters is not transferred by their own choices. Since being possessed by a poisonous curse, whether Christine has good intentions or malicious intentions to save his life, has not changed the final outcome. This is a departure from religious values ​​and social moral standards in the general sense.

There is a saying in "Infernal Affairs": "Murder and set fire to the golden belt, repair bridges and make up roads without corpses." Sam Raimi may not be so pessimistic and negative, but it is also quite realistic. At least accumulation of virtue and good deeds, the cycle of cause and effect is in this film. There is no market. There is no absolute fairness and justice in this society. Instead of being angry about this, we should be careful in our words and actions, and don’t offend the villain. Kristin in the poor movie is in the Mood for Love, but she died in this way, why not make people sigh and regret?
