ghostly

The horror of the movie is not only in the picture, but also in the background sound, the editing of the camera and the psychology of the audience.
Many scenes may be ordinary or even warm if there is no special production.
There is a scene in the movie: On TV, praying mantises are talked about. After the mantises mate, the female mantis eats the male mantis from the head. This is a normal thing for a mantis to do, just as normal for you to eat when you are hungry. If you look at it as a human, is it scary, I think it is much scarier than this movie.

The revenge in the movie comes from rape, and there are many revenge at the cost of life caused by rape. Rape is an extreme devastation to women's psychology, especially under the traditional oriental concept of chastity, it is an unforgivable sin.
Sins are punished.
If you want to escape punishment, the ghost has already appeared in your heart.
In fact, ghosts have basically never appeared in this movie. Except for the abnormal image and weight in the last photo, ghosts have always only appeared in the hero's heart, in his imaginary world.
Ghosts also appeared in "The Door", and after seeing it, I finally realized that all the ghosts were Chen Kun's imagination, and they all came from the crimes he committed.

Ghosts have no substance, they are invisible, intangible and ubiquitous like air. Just like you can't do anything to the air, you can't do anything to a ghost either.
The sins committed cannot be repented of, so ghosts cannot be defeated.
Ghosts may exist, invisible to ordinary people, as in the movies; or they may not exist at all. It doesn't really matter to us.
The important thing is to have a sense of awe in one's heart.
The gods of Western religions are a kind of awe that exists in people's hearts, and ghosts are also a kind of awe that exists in many people's hearts.
Just want people to know that it's actually watching you all the time.
If a crime is committed, the punishment cannot be escaped.

If there is a ghost in the heart, the ghost is everywhere.
