A suspenseful comedy

Undoubtedly, Strange Banquet is a movie with a very high production cost. Many British, American, and French film and television stars have appeared on the camera (Harry Potter's McGonagall Professor Maggie Smith, the prosecution witness's lawyer nanny.... ...), and the sets and special effects in the film were expensive in those days.
But in my opinion the value of the movie itself is not as high as imagined.
The theme of the movie is not obvious. Many people enjoy this movie with the theme of suspense and horror, but in the end, they find that it is a movie with a chaotic theme mixed with horror, wretchedness, and blood.
The terrifying scene and gloomy atmosphere created at the beginning were all broken up by the nonsensical lines of several couples (Zhensu was defeated by your innocence), and the gloomy atmosphere of the barren mountain castle was completely gone ( In vain I spent the middle of the night hiding under the covers to watch). The miserable doorbell, the falling boulder, and the weird room finally brought out the emotions, but the idiot detective laughed outright when he came on the scene (Can the Chinese King's Inspector be more bloody about the Japanese adopted son, the French-Belgian detective obviously It's a 2B version of Her Majesty's Detective Polo, Agatha Christina, and the driver-secretary and part of the plot, the unabashedly gay or misogynistic San Francisco Attorney Dimont, and the honest Detective Marble and her feisty senior nurse …).
Of course, if this movie is regarded as a nonsense and funny movie similar to Stephen Chow, it is remarkable. It is not difficult to taste the lines of each character and find the distinctive characters with their own characteristics.

    Tucao and tribute, the laughter is colder, and the suspense is weaker. This story is funny and really stupid. It made fun of the mystery novel (movie) plot and classic characters, but at the end of the story, it still died in its own stereotype.

    Every character with full personality can make people laugh within a few lines (after reading everyone's comments, it turned out to be a famous detective in the history of literature), the key is that the actors of these characters are all old actors, and I also saw the card Potter's deity is quite interesting.
