In order to satisfy her perverted desire, the heroine chooses to write a book to kill. First choose Beth's patient, a rock singer, and implement it while writing the book, and it works. And chose Beth's lover, the male lead. At the beginning of the movie, the heroine is full of confidence because she has already investigated the male protagonist clearly. The whole movie is a cat-and-mouse game played by the heroine through psychological manipulation.

At first the male protagonist firmly believed that the female protagonist was the murderer. But the female protagonist destroys the rational judgment of the male protagonist step by step by stimulating the male protagonist's instinctive desire (tobacco, alcohol and drug sex). At the same time, the heroine also directs the male protagonist's attention to other suspects, such as the female protagonist's same-sex partner who killed two younger brothers, such as the yellow-haired old woman who killed the family, and finally to Beth. The male protagonist killed Beth, but when he took out the key, he knew that he had been fooled. The male protagonist became a murderer because he killed Beth, and he could only choose to sink into the sea of ​​lust. The final conclusion shows that the male protagonist is mortal, because the mouse has no game value.

This film shows that desire destroys reason.
