1. In general, this movie is still very good, and fans should be more tolerant of the current thriller with certain ideas. After all, the subject matter and creativity of suspense, thriller, and horror films have already been filmed. It is very difficult to innovate, and it is very difficult not to repeat the previous work. Most of the current films of this kind are impetuous, and very few have a certain connotation. The filming of "Souling" shows that the director has a lot of ideas. British filmmakers have always been rigorous and deserve applause.

2. The suspense of this film lasts for a long time, and there are very few suggestive details that can be explored. It can be said that it is not easy to guess the final ending without seeing the end. very good!

3. As for many comments that this film is similar to "Cry on the Island", I can't agree with it at all. Except for the background of the times and very few bridges, I really can't see any similarities between the two. However, there is a little bit of the shadow of "Spiritual Orphanage", but it's just that the scene settings are somewhat similar.

4. The terrifying atmosphere is well rendered, and it still looks very emotional. However, the horror plot slightly deviates from the center of the narrative, which is suspected of being intentional.

5. I like horror and supernatural stories, and I have read a lot of them. I have always liked horror movies and novel scaring scenes. There is a very good passage in this film. The heroine found that in the miniature model of the big house, she was reproducing what happened to her scene by scene. His own dummy is doing the same thing as himself - when he peeks into the model, his eyes move, and he is surprised to see that the kid is standing behind the dummy representing him and looking at himself... This atmosphere creates an atmosphere It is very good, and it is really full of horror, which can be regarded as the best paragraph in the horror movies in recent years. Awesome!

6. After reading the ending part two or three times, I basically confirmed that the director wanted to convey the message that the heroine is actually dead, but the filming was a little vague, so that there was a controversy about whether the heroine was dead.

7. The heroine performed very well, reflecting her solid basic skills. It can be seen that, like many excellent British actors, she came from a serious academic background. However, in the era when this film took place, the appearance of the heroine is somewhat modern, and it may be better to find an actor with a classical sense. (By the way, the heroine looks like Scarlett Johansson)

8. In general, although some details of this film are suspected of being self-talking, they will not stand up to serious scrutiny. But the overall is still good, the plot trend is relatively clear, coupled with the reflection on the post-war human mental state, it is still a masterpiece, and it is recommended to watch.
