"Thriller": Subconscious, True Spiritual Direction

Marie goes on vacation to her friend Alexia's village home, and that night Alexia's family is wiped out by a mysterious killer. From Marie's escape, to Alexia being kidnapped by Kun and being transported elsewhere, there is panic and suspense everywhere. The bloody scenes are shocking and what exactly makes the mysterious killer inhuman. In fact, the truth is placed in a conspicuous place, and the audience needs to carefully capture every little detail. For example, Marie sits on the swing downstairs and catches a glimpse of Alexia taking a bath, and then Marie sighs on the bed. These two small details become important wedges and strong evidence for the development of the story. Until the police replayed the video of the gas station and Marie said at the end that "there is no one between us anymore", recalling the above details, you can suddenly realize that there was no tall and strong mysterious killer in the whole incident. The real killer is Marie herself. Because of her love for her friend Alexia, she subconsciously hated all those who approached Alexia, so she brutally killed Alexia's parents and younger brother first, and then killed the waiter at the gas station. While she was killing people, she fantasized about being chased and fleeing. In this way, she took Alexia and ran desperately on the road from beginning to end, and she was singing a one-man show to kill or not to kill.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders defines multiple personalities as "the existence within an individual of two or more distinct personalities, each dominant at a given time. These personalities are independent and autonomous from each other. and exist as a complete self". Marie's subject personality and object personality obviously produce irreconcilable contradictions, so her behavior is abnormal, and her thinking diverges to the point of being out of control. Such killing truly shows an instinct that exists in the human subconscious: fighting for love. You can't say it's bad because it's a lesion. If it is good, but she uses the subconscious as a carrier to show her truest side with violent crimes. Looking at this case from a scientific point of view, you will also find it very difficult, because most of the time, even psychiatrists cannot explain this phenomenon. After all, the head grows on other people's necks, and we don't know how to think. Here, I call multiple personalities: double body.
I noticed a few of Marie's smiles, typically neurotic. The actor played this nuance so vividly, it has to be said to be the finishing touch. The film creates a suffocating effect, especially when Marie wipes the water stains in the bathroom to avoid the "mysterious killer", hides the sheets under the bed, hides in the shutter door closet to witness the killing process, Hiding under the supermarket shelves at the gas station, having nowhere to hide in the men's toilet, etc., all expand the atmosphere of fear. I don't know how other people feel, but I think it looks good, because that heart-wrenching tragic ending deeply touched my heart.
