This is a suspense thriller. Just from the title, it can be seen that the film should give the audience a sense of horror. However, after watching the film, we will find that the real horror is not the ghosts and gods, but the greed and human nature. Endless desire. Many people think this movie is a bit difficult to understand. I don't know why some people have this idea. In fact, this is a very simple story. The plot is a conspiracy, love and revenge that many movies apply. It's just that this film uses a horror image of a "headless horseman" to cleverly confuse your sight, allowing the audience to play down the main line of the plot because of the horror atmosphere created by the director, so that there is a confusing and suspenseful effect. The headless horseman in the film is not actually the scariest one. Although every time he appears, he will bring death, but he is also just a killing tool manipulated by people. The real scary person is the man who manipulates it. Because of that person's greed and vengeance, she used the head of the headless horseman to guide it to kill all those who might compete with her for property or hinder her, including her husband and her siblings. It can be seen that the horror of the human heart is far greater than that of any ghost. Depp plays a timid but fearless little police officer in the film. He was dispatched to the "Drifting Valley" because he was dissatisfied with the local police station's ruling on prisoners. This is a person who fears but does not believe in ghosts and gods. On the one hand, he deeply believes in science. On the other hand, he trembles with fear when he hears the killing of the headless horseman. This is the contradiction and cuteness of this character. Place. I personally like this character very much. It can be said that he brought a touch of color to this gloomy movie, especially Depp's performance in the film is very cute, such as the various strange tools he used to solve crimes, and his contradictory Personality, he was scared and passed out a moment ago, and then he woke up and started investigating again. This character always reminds me of watching ghost movies when I was a child, and I was so frightened that I kept watching. When we followed this character all the way nervously nervous, doubtful, fearful, and amusing until the end, when the film solved the mystery of murder for us, did we see the real murderer? Will the Headless Horseman of the Dusk Valley reappear?
