A horror movie that deliberately pretends to be b is not a horror movie, it is a b movie.

The foreshadowing in the early stage is too contrived, and the pursuit of life between the murderer and the escapee has obvious traces of deliberate arrangement. Note that it's not a coincidence and intellectual competition, but an obvious deliberate arrangement, which can make people feel very unreasonable.

Although after the sudden turn of the plot, it seems that all the intentional arrangements in the early stage are reasonable, but when you are halfway through watching, once you feel that many parts of the film are unreasonable, it is easy to quickly withdraw from the plot and evolve into a pair of directors. A kind of skepticism and distrust, even disgusting, of the method.

You must know that if a horror movie cannot be fascinating and substituted at the beginning, it means that the horror movie is no longer scary, and no matter how reasonable the overall plot is, it will completely weaken the horror atmosphere of the horror movie.
In fact, only from the point of view that horror movies are not scary, this kind of plot setting itself is garbage.

So this isn't a horror movie, it's a b-movie.
