Demon
Sister Loli is not a general if not the source of terror.
We have seen too much, too many coincidences, and too little creativity. We have been trained to guess the ending right after seeing the beginning. The difference between a good movie and a bad movie is often whether the explanation for the root of the horror is reasonable and innovative.
Orphan's success explained Lolita's darkness and cold-bloodedness with dwarfism, which was later clumsily copied by Zhou Xianyang in "The Murderer". Case 39 is insincere to say that Lily is a natural devil, and she will kill if she fails to love. As for where the devil came from, his true identity is ignored.
The devil on Lily's body is probably beyond the reach of Father Jesus with the crucifix and garlic. Its murderous trick is to fear oneself, but also to others, taking advantage of the victim's greatest fear to create an illusion that is so real that it is like being on the scene. It reports to the god of death in a fright.
If you are afraid, you will die; if you are not afraid, she will die.
It tells the world in a very old-fashioned and didactic way a well-known truth: there is a devil in everyone's heart, and confronting it face-to-face is always the only way to successfully banish it.
