You can't change the devil, but the devil can change you

"You can't change the devil, but the devil can change you." At first I heard this sentence in the movie and thought it was a usual tricky joke in Hollywood movies, but I didn't fully understand it until I watched the movie. Wasn't Cage finally pulled by the evil of human nature and avenged the "insignificant" girl in a devilish way!
The eight-millimeter film in the film takes us into the depths of a soul. There, we have too many things that we don't know about ourselves, evil, vile, ugly primitive natures.
The movie itself is not a horror movie, but when Cage decided to take his own revenge for the girl, because of the change by the devil, I couldn't help but feel a sense of fear from the bottom of my heart - human nature That's how it was alienated.
The innocent eyes of his daughter made him finally cry bitterly, and in the face of the evil that had been provoked, he issued a cry for help. But is the horrifying evil of human nature so easily washed out? So, murderers always wear masks!
In the end I will say that this is not a movie that can make you feel good, and the viewer respects himself.

    This movie should be called Kira the Angry...what an 8mm, unattractive title. However, it is a well-spoken story, and I can definitely watch it, but I feel that the development is a little inexplicable. Perverted killers, terrifying, and beasts in costume, are being staged in every corner of the earth, which does not seem to constitute a reason for the anger of a private investigator. At this time, if God gave him a Death Note, he would become an angry Kira...

    The atmosphere of the film is so dark except for the first few minutes. Anxiety and loud music are extremely uncomfortable. The old woman made the protagonist forget all this, but how should the unease and anger suppressed in her heart be forgotten. Yet everything feels so powerless. Fortunately, in the end, there was still the company of his wife and a letter from the little girl's mother. Let there finally be some light and hope in the dark.
