Go with the idea, there's nothing wrong with it

This is my first time writing a film review, and I used to be someone who doesn't like to talk. It's freshly released and I'm just looking forward to it. I will write a few sentences for people who are looking for a movie and are hesitant to watch it. Serious spoilers though.
The habit of guessing the ending when watching a movie, for a drama. I did the same when watching this movie, because a friend recommended it and said that the ending was good, so I would subconsciously try harder to guess the ending, hoping that my guess would prove something. It is for this reason that more attention is paid to the details of the film. The movie begins with a killer-like person holding a knife and seeing the mail. Although I didn't see the face clearly, due to the environment and clothes at the time, it left the audience with the impression of whether it was a student, and the heroine's father, the school cleaner, brought a few close-ups to the audience after the director gave a few close-up shots. I have a very desolate feeling that there are a lot of stories. It turns out that he does have a story, the poor father of the school flower==. I started to pay attention to him and fell into the trap of starting to doubt him. I'm guessing the director did it on purpose. So I don't pay more attention to the performance of the protagonists who are deep in the center of the whirlpool. Another reason is that the fear of the male protagonist is a part of the movie that has been emphasized for a long time. So, when the first fake corpse showed up, there was no doubt about it. When one of the real victims of the whole movie said something similar to what the murderer used to say: You know her? I also automatically ignored the latter sentence subconsciously, what did the hostess tell you?
In fact, the director also gave a hint to the real ending. The female protagonist lies in the swimming pool. When the male protagonist is very scared (the library), he is very calm and wants to scare the pretender (because only the murderer can be very calm and sure no one will. hurting yourself), calling the teacher's office at the right time, etc. So in fact, there is no ending that is very unreasonable, and it feels very sudden. On the contrary, when there are 5 minutes left, when the heroine appears again, most of the audience will probably feel a little uncomfortable, and further guess the problem of the heroine.
In the end, I think it’s normal to follow the direction the director wants, ignore the irrationality as the plot goes up and down, and finally get the satisfaction you want from watching the movie (I’m very unhappy about not guessing the plot. , please automatically block my words, don't spray me), there is nothing bad.
