A prototype of a pseudo-hero

The director just expressed the open ending to the extreme, which caused the audience to feel nondescript, confused, and didn't even give easter eggs. I only watched it once, and I didn't go into many details, because the director needs the audience's brain to make up for everything. Having said that, one star is still too harsh. In addition to being bored, I made up several endings.

In terms of details, after the blurred face abused the mother, a knife was left behind, if the knife was a black man with a throat cut (there are only two scenes of this knife in the movie, there is blood on the tip of the knife), assuming the criminal did not leave behind Fingerprints, then only the son's fingerprint, the cause of the son's death is unknown (not explained, assuming the cause of death is cold and fear), then the son is the prime suspect in the killing of the black man and his mother.

ending

1. The picture is given to the police, convicting the son, and the picture changes to the blurred face. If you don’t show the face, then let’s go back, or continue to blur the face, or the blood-stained hand, and end. Pseudo-high IQ, pseudo-psychology, and really perverted murderer.

2 The picture is given to the crazy old woman, the news is broadcast, the son kills, and the picture cuts to the old woman's hand to give a close-up, there is blood, a smile on his face, the end. Mental crime.

3 The car drove past, the old woman watched the car drive away, laughed and ended. An open ending, but the director did not give this kind of picture.

4 The black man in the car stands up, there is a white figure outside the car, or maybe two, over. The black man did not die, but the mother was indeed killed by the son, and the son's death was unclear. Relatively perfect organized and premeditated murder to blame, psychological horror.

5 The old woman rips off the human skin mask, is black, and ends. Black people are perverts who have brains and play with the psychology of mother and child.

I don't know if the director is making a fool of himself or is a real master. Someone will understand it in the future, and maybe this movie can't be sure.

    Naomi Wallace: [laughs]

    Chris: I just mean the mountain folk can get a little, uh... scruffy at times. And I am not talking about the men.
