As the original Japanese version of the horror film "The Devil's Loop", Kurosawa Kiyoshi's version of "The Loop" is far less famous than the American remake series. Although I haven't seen the American version, I can understand why it is not popular with the public after watching this. : The obscure and overly long plot definitely shields most of the audience's flaws. Although the five-star soundtrack makes the atmosphere extremely weird, it can't get rid of the troubled eyes of the gloomy painting style under the scumbag quality.

The film tells a psychological ghost story wrapped under the shell of "Internet autism". People are more and more reluctant to go out to communicate and communicate because of their dependence on the Internet. As a result, optimism becomes introverted, loners become more lonely, and sadness and fear in their hearts. Because of being trapped in a bedroom from active to passive and enlarged, and finally ended by suicide, the soul body obtained eternity, but he can no longer escape the predicament of loneliness. The lonely ghost seduces the living with eternity, and uses the Internet as a carrier. The overflowing loneliness is like the singing of a mermaid, attracting people who go online.

The dark bedroom in the film is the common denominator of all people who are addicted to the Internet. When they are alive, they maintain a posture and remain rigid beside the computer. When you look at their computer, there is nothing special in it. Suddenly a huge The amount of information and the rapidity of technology make them at a loss, as if there are countless questions that they don't know where to start. People are too close to be unacceptable, so they want to escape, but they are close to each other because they cannot stand loneliness. This is a grief that parents, lovers, and friends cannot solve.

The soundtrack of the film is definitely a highlight. With the slow transfer of the camera, the weird music seems to have its own sticky properties that make people uncomfortable in all kinds of ways. Obviously, it will not suddenly scare people, but it just caters to the horror atmosphere of a secret room haunted house. The darkness as thick as ink grips your limbs like a living creature, uses toothpicks to support your upper and lower eyelids, and realizes your loneliness and helplessness in pain.

However, no matter how bad it is now, it is also beautiful, and it is also eager to keep it for a long time. Although the loneliness shown by the director in the film makes people in the whole world disappear, the cause is the confusion. Once you are caught by these two emotions while surfing the Internet, the ghosts in the Internet will come to you. They are both virtual and real, but they are not there. The portraits who have come into contact with them are terminally ill, and it is only a matter of time before they disappear.

The film shows the dependence on computer television, a machine for entertainment and hope, and the outbreak of autism that spreads and leads to its demise. The network that carries the spirits is overwhelmed and makes them wander in the world. The terminally ill patients who suffer from it use red tape to mark the dangerous "haunted house", but if the lonely ghosts are the majority, then the abnormal group that should be identified Is it human? Ghosts help people live forever, and people help ghosts build a ghost village on Earth, which is barely a win-win situation.

    8.5, full of ghosts, the sense of horror created by ghosts is extremely infiltrating, the ghosts that slowly move to the screen by jumping are definitely a horror section of film history, the female corpse that suddenly jumped from the high-rise building, directly hit the high-rise building. A crashed plane, a picture of apocalyptic desperation. The closed space made of red tape cannot isolate the ghosts from the invasion of the world. What we focus on is the emptiness and alienation that urban young people cannot escape. Only by escaping alone can we achieve salvation and happiness. Basically, there are desires and emotions. The teacher used the loop to take it away. He was able to reflect on the impact of the Internet on human life at the beginning of the new century. Kiyoshi Kurosawa is quite forward-looking. In addition to the midnight bell and the grudge, this film is also a must-see Japanese horror film.
