The style of the film is somewhat similar to that of "Seven Deadly Sins", with a dark and gloomy tone, and the film is filled with dim lighting, narrow streets, exposed erotica and dirty scenes of violence.
The plot of the film is actually very simple, mainly the process of Tom's pursuit of the truth. But the director wants to express to us that it is not the plot of the story, but through the process of tracing, to show us the dark side behind a city with a bright appearance, an underground world full of pornography and violence, and fully reveal the ugliness of human nature.
Who is the murderous killer with a face is the biggest suspense in this film, throughout. As the suspense is unraveled step by step, a cruel truth emerges, a dark world full of pornography and violence is also presented to people, and another picture of a dark and ugly society is also presented to the audience.
The deceased MP was a high-ranking member in front of others and was very valuable, but behind his bright appearance was an extremely ugly side. I don't know if it was a personal "hobby" or a momentary curiosity. A brutal murder scene. Thinking of the real society, there are too many "wolves in sheep's clothing". They are either serious, elegant and charming, or in high positions... but they do dirty and immoral things behind their backs.
The teenage girl who dreamed of becoming a big star in Hollywood ran away from home and came to the place where she realized her dream because she lived in a broken family and could not get the love of her father and mother. But what was waiting for her was a bloody killing. A young girl in bloom was killed by those scoundrels. And after her death, she can't rest in peace. Because of her long disappearance, people have forgotten about this girl. Except for their relatives, no one cares about her anymore. The world is hot!
The cashier of the video store has high ambitions but can't get it. Being at the bottom of the dark society, in order to protect himself and have a better life, he had to disguise himself. Even reading the kind of positive books, he needed to put the covers of pornographic magazines on the outside. He likes music only Play alone when you are alone.
Mr. Senator's wife, an old woman who is dying, has always loved his husband deeply. But when she learned the truth about the film and the other side of her husband, she couldn't accept it. She needs to maintain her husband's reputation, so she can't disclose the truth of the film, but she also can't face the sane husband, who is caught in a dilemma. She reluctantly ended her own life, which may be the best way for her to escape.
At the end of the film, the mask-killing demon finally revealed its true colors. Not tall, with a round face, a chubby figure, and a pair of glasses, such a seemingly "honest" image really makes people unable to associate with that inhumane murderer. When Tom asked her why she did it, he answered calmly, he said that he had never experienced abuse from others, his parents loved him very much, and his murderous murder was just out of interest (previously, Tom also asked the one who was at the scene Watch the filmmaker of the murder process, his explanation is out of curiosity). The two are strikingly similar, and we cannot use other reasons to explain such an explanation except for their distorted character and cruel nature. There is nothing wrong with curiosity and interest, but we can't treat other people's lives like a must, and use murder to satisfy our own curiosity and interest. In this scene, the film portrays the ugly side of human nature incisively and vividly, which cannot be added.
And the protagonist of the film, Tom, is a man with a wonderful family. Although not rich, but also happy and comfortable. When he investigated the truth of the film, he was shocked by the cruel reality, out of the pity of the old woman, he could not disclose the truth, coupled with sympathy for the mother of the dead girl, the hypocrisy of the congressman, and the coldness of the filmmaker , The heart of the porn director is like a scorpion, the fierce and cruel anger of the masked killer, he raised the gun in his hand and acted for the sky.
Justice is finally achieved, although the means are illegal, but emotionally we have to applaud him and applaud him.
Looking at the film, although there are slight loopholes in the plot, it does not hinder the development of the story. It is well conceived and has a strong visual impact. It combines suspense and pornography. Think about our surroundings, whether the ugliness of human nature is also coming with the darkness. And breed, shudder!
