real fear

Absolutely a wonderful piece of thriller! Decades-old films, black and white influences, deceptively simple stories. . None of these can shake the status of the world's greatest suspense thriller. The director's exquisite shots, wonderful detailed action descriptions, psychological descriptions, ingenious use of local shots, etc., really made my heart skip a beat from beginning to end. The last few seconds of the movie won't let you breathe a sigh of relief (the ending is ironic!) It's so perfect, I think it's a movie every man should watch and experience the real horror! (In the first thirty minutes of the movie, I actually fell asleep!)

The introduction and foreshadowing of the background characters in the first hour was a bit too long, but after that it ushered in a suffocating hour and a half. Cruzo played too much with suspense, and the 53-year-old movie still looks so horrifying and beautiful today. In fact, I prefer the story of "The Crow", but this one is indeed more exciting. PS: The literal translation of the title should be "The Remuneration of Fear".

Bill O'Brien: The Hell with the Union! There's plenty of tramps in town, all volunteers. I'm not worried. To get that bonus, they'll carry the entire charge on their backs.
Bradley: You mean you're gonna put those bums to work?
Bill O'Brien: Yes, Mr. Bradley, because those bums don't have any union, nor any families. And if they blow up, nobody'll come around bothering me for any contribution.

Dick: When I was a kid, I used to see men go off on this kind of jobs... and not come back. When they did, they were wrecks. Their hair had turned white and their hands were shaking like palsy! You don't know what fear is. But you'll see. It's catching, it's catching like small pox! And once you get it, it's for life! So long, boys, and good luck.
