if you are watching this movie for ghosts or gore Then I advise you to forget it, because you will definitely be disappointed, and the scary part of this film is not here.
As far as the script is concerned, this film is a remake of the 1979 classic of the same name, so its plot should not have It's a big problem, but the strange thing is that many people have different doubts about the understanding of the plot, which is very incomprehensible. It seems that everyone's understanding of HORROR is limited to or used to the ghosts of Japan and South Korea or It is traditional bloody in Europe and America, so forget that in addition to physical terror, there is also psychological terror that makes you HAUNTING. Unfamiliar calls belong to this category. What it actually wants to express is the kind of insecurity caused by unknown dangers. The horror caused by the feeling.
First of all, let me talk about the murderer. I saw a lot of people asking who the murderer was, and some people even said that the murderer was the heroine's father
. , One night, the person in the room received a call, but the other party didn't speak. After repeating it several times, there was a scream, and then the police found the body in the morning. This is the explanation for the appearance of the perverted killer. The expression of the corpse explained the cruelty of the criminal's crime from the side. Therefore, the murderer who appeared later was this perverted murderer who likes to commit crimes by telephone. Moreover, this perverted murderer has committed 15 similar cases. The most important thing is The murderer is not caught, this is the biggest premise.
The final outcome
Personally, I think the ending of the movie is more critical than what the pervert killer wants to express in the whole movie to scare the heroine. Personally, I like this ending. Many people think that the heroine is crazy. I don't think so, it can only be considered temporary. Insane, that the killer appeared in the hospital is just the heroine's imagination. She woke up and kept calling "HE IS IN THE HOUSE", indicating that this incident left an indelible shadow in the heroine's heart, and also pointed out the theme, crime The physical harm left to the victim is temporary, but the spiritual is eternal. This is irreversible even if the pervert is cut by a thousand cuts. I think this is what this film wants to express.
JILL is in The policeman said, "THAT'S NOT ENOUGH" after saying that the criminal would be prosecuted and sentenced. This sentence made a deep impression on me. It also paved the way for the later hospital drama.
And as far as the translation is concerned, I think a strange call is more frightening than a call . To be more specific, the English name of the film is WHEN A STRANGER CALLS. The strange call conveys the theme of the film, because this film is about strangers, that is, the fear brought by the unpredictable threat, invisible and intangible, And there is no time or place, but he can stare at you all the time. This is my summary of the theme of this film
