This is the best thriller and suspense movie I've ever seen. The suspense is full of twists and turns. Koreans are really good at telling stories. This article is some understanding of the film, there will be serious spoilers, it is recommended to read this article after watching the film. (I wrote so much because I couldn’t stand so many one and two stars.) 1. Characters: Shaman is the helper of the demon (Japanese) and collects "victims" with him, and the woman in white should be a female ghost, But it is trying to save those "victims", which is the opposite of demon. 2. Demon's rituals: Demons cannot kill people casually, but tempt people to commit crimes step by step. First of all, he will find the target - the impure soul, and use the objects of the target person or the people around him to perform rituals to make them possessed, but the demon itself will not completely occupy the soul of the other party, so it depends on the ritual of shaman. fully occupied. The evidence is that there are traces of rituals held every time a massacre occurs. After the ceremony, the possessed subject begins to kill out of control. After the killing, the shaman will collect photos for the demon to use in priestly rituals. (Some people can be occupied without ritual, which can be understood as unclean people themselves.)

3. Although the male protagonist of this film is a policeman, he has been in a peaceful village, and few cases have occurred, so he has no experience in handling cases at all.

He was chosen by the devil just because he exchanged an eye with the devil during the case. The devil found him doubting him (doubt without evidence is also a sin in the Bible). Then, the male protagonist began to have strange dreams. The woman in white found him and reminded him: You are being targeted by him.

This reminder prompted the male lead to investigate the identity of the Japanese. At the same time, the male protagonist's daughter fell ill.

4. The sneakers of the male protagonist's daughter were taken away by the devil at some point, and then the daughter was possessed by the devil. She said: "A man was knocking hard on the door to come in. The man came in, he was the devil. The daughter started to draw him, she saw him, but she didn't know what was going on.

In the eyes of others, her temperament has changed greatly, she began to like to eat fish, and she has a bad temper and blisters on her body. This is a common feature of every crazy murderer. The male protagonist loves his daughter very much. He lost his mind and went to the devil to confront him.

5. The devil allows the male protagonist to threaten without saying a word. He is waiting for shaman to start his show. Sure enough, among the ignorant villages, the goddesses who recommended each other were the same person. This is why the devil chooses the countryside: superstition, occlusion.

6. When Shaman appeared, they were all familiar with each other. Taking advantage of rumors that the Japanese were ghosts, he demanded that more expensive and more dangerous rituals be performed. Meanwhile, in another location, where traces of the ceremony remained in the yard, police officers found the bodies of a family in a well, and the man suspected of killing was missing.

7. The devil found the deceased male master in the suburbs and made the devil possess the deceased male master through a ritual, but the woman in white kept monitoring his every move and took the opportunity to disrupt his ritual and seriously injured him. At the same time, the daughter in the shaman "exorcism" ceremony asked her parents to stop. The father finally couldn't help destroying the shaman ceremony, so that the daughter temporarily saved her life.

8. The daughter is unconscious. The anxious male protagonist gathers his partners to go up the mountain to attack the demon. The demon cannot hurt him because the male protagonist's sin has not reached a certain level. And the "living dead" who were summoned by the devil's ritual began to act and bite everyone during the day. At a critical time, the woman in white saved them again. But this "living dead" is obviously not in full form, because the ritual was destroyed in the middle. The woman in white does not have the ability to kill the devil, so she can only keep monitoring the devil to look for opportunities.

9. Everyone failed to find the Japanese. On the return journey, the devil began to escalate the plan. He rammed his shell (Japanese) into the male lead's truck. Everyone got out of the car, saw it was him, and silently pushed him off the cliff. The male protagonist has officially fallen and committed murder. The devil can finally act. Shaman said: "The mouse fell into the trap.

10. Shaman went to the man's house, ready to add fuel to the fire, but the woman in white guarding the door warned and threatened him to leave. Shaman was frightened and drove away, but he was frightened to stop by the sudden crow dung on the way, which was the devil's warning to him to leave. He thought of a trick: take a bite.

The male protagonist's daughter came home awake, was summoned by the devil in the middle of the night, and was possessed. The woman in white observed everything in the dark. The devil returned to the cave, and the young priest went and decided to kill the devil.

11. Shaman kept calling the male protagonist, telling the protagonist to go home as soon as possible, and at the same time biting the woman in white as a ghost and a bad person. The woman in white asked the male protagonist to hear the cock crowing three times before going back, because the original sin was on the male protagonist. If he went back after three roars, the power of the devil would not be able to endanger his family.

However, before the last sound, the male lead shook, the woman in white involuntarily held the male lead, and the male lead felt her hands were cold: it was a ghost. He thought to himself, he finally believed Shamon's words, he began to doubt the intention of the woman in white, and the devil took the opportunity to enter. After the male protagonist broke free and ran home, the woman in white cried desperately (cry).

12. As the male protagonist steps into the house, the devil wins. A bunch of leaves hung by the woman in white on the door of his house withered, the original sin entered the house, and the killing was inevitable. The devil gains power, and the priest's life hangs by a thread.

13. The crime committed by the male protagonist ranges from suspecting a Japanese (dream) to extorting a confession from a Japanese (daughter is sick), and finally killing a Japanese (daughter is possessed). Every step of the way is the devil tempting him. He took the bait step by step, causing the devil to finally kill. The father, who was finally killed by his daughter, murmured before his death: "Baby, it doesn't matter what you do." End.

It can be seen that good thoughts may not make you live, but a little sin will drag you to death.
