Briefly or quickly, I will talk about my own experience without others.
I haven't read the novel, but I think the production level and quality of the film is good, the use of the camera and the picture is very good, and the characters are portrayed and the acting skills are in place. It's just that this kind of cyclical circling in time and space is really boring and helpless. I don't want to deliberately pick faults, I just feel tired and boring, and there is nothing surprising.
A broken black rock has a few bad characters carved on it, and people start to go crazy when they put their hands on it. The middle-aged man in a family of three is a good man who cares for the family, and he didn't explain or vaguely hint that he himself has any mental problems. Or the relationship between family members is abnormal, and then after wandering around in the weeds that are taller than the head, because they can't find family members, they have hallucinations and think about it. It's normal.
Another group of people, the elder brother took the pregnant younger sister and the younger sister's boyfriend who followed later. Forget it, it's understandable for him to be a big brother if he wants to kill him. If I were to be a big brother, he would definitely kill the dog, and his mother would have to wait in the hay before taking action. But the fact is that the two brothers and sisters have disappeared, and the scumbag drove to look for it. It can be considered conscience, not absolute scumbag. This cycle gave me the feeling that the eggs came first or the chickens came first, which made people feel extremely painful and quivering.
The only scary scene is the scene where the middle-aged man squeezes his wife's head with both palms, and when his brother is chased by the middle-aged man and finally strangled, there are corpses next to each other. The middle-aged man should have fucked it N times. Brother, how much hatred they can have.
The scumbag sacrificed himself to save his girlfriend and the three of them. Whether the church stands in that place where birds don't shit is harmful or redeeming, to be determined.
In the end, this deliberately created atmosphere is inexplicable. I didn't want to use the word "weird", I just wanted to say that it didn't achieve a terrifying effect at all.
