I love this movie a lot, but when it comes to storytelling it's not as good as The Master Key, The Night of the Comet, and where it really shines is in the form of fear it takes.
In the movie, fear is no longer a big bloody face that suddenly appears behind you, no longer a ghost that suddenly jumps out with a sharp string sound, but a person who is no different from an ordinary person and walks toward you. something, it's approaching slowly, you can run, you can throw it away, but it will appear behind you in another form; you can shoot and smack its body in the opposite direction, but it Get up slowly again, without even uttering a miserable groan; you can close and lock the door, but it can even knock silently outside the door waiting for you to open it.
In fact, what the director wants to express is the world's fear and helplessness about the proliferation of "sex" and "venereal diseases". Endless contagion, limited life, through the medium of the film, people can't help but think deeply, and the filming and expression techniques are even more unique. The danger in the film is everywhere, slowly coming to you, but you can't do anything, or you are forced to compromise. , or endless escape, feeling hopeless and helpless! It's an epoch-making film!
