This is a superlative and terrifying horror movie.

What is the most terrifying? The answer is simple and commonplace: the evil and darkness of human nature. However, when we say this and understand this sentence, we subconsciously exclude ourselves. However, you are also human, so you have human nature, and therefore, you must have the evil and darkness of human nature. Deductions go on, those extreme evil and dark things, others can do it, and you can do it too. He doesn't think that what you think you are good and bright will not happen to you, he exists in your genes, in your human nature, and will never be destroyed by yourself or others. He never goes away, until the possible day when this evil and darkness makes you devour others, or devour yourself.

You can also be the person you dread and do what you think is terrifying - that's the greatest terror.

Many people don't understand why this depressing, dark, horrifying and desperate film is called "X Holy Rule", and the English name is "cure" (cure). The answer is also very simple. Only when you recognize, face it directly, and finally accept and understand the evil and darkness in yourself, can you be calm and real, let go of your unnecessary struggles with yourself, and gain true peace and freedom.

However, Nietzsche said: When you stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you; when you fight with a dragon, be careful to become a dragon.

To watch this film, you must have a considerable accumulation and understanding of psychological knowledge to digest. Otherwise, after reading it, it will lead to depression and depression, and to fear and despair.

Therefore, for those who "dare to face the bleak life" and "true warriors", I highly recommend this film. Otherwise, look for another horror movie to cool off the heat -- the coolness of this film is the coolness of life that most people can't bear.

    8.5/10 Quietly restrained and calm, suppressed from the beginning to the end, although it is only in a small dilapidated warehouse, it can also make people feel that the whole world is doomsday. The most terrifying thing is that you, the audience, know very well that you are the same as those who are nothing. Like them, they may all draw those bloody crosses under the necks of others.

    Use the distorted noise of sound and the dark and alienation of space to show the suppressed hideous side of human nature. The pictures are exquisite to the extreme, and Kurosawa does not tell the story of a serial killer, but seeks the most terrifying origin in the depths of the spirit during the layers of hypnotism. The last scene in the restaurant is calm and restrained. Yakusho Koji has eaten all the food and paid to leave. Everything seems normal, but it makes people shudder.
