Scarlet Infatuation

Alexander Agga's debut novel "Blood Moon/Thriller" made me look for it for a long time. I had great expectations, but unfortunately I was not satisfied after watching it. It's an innovative, but clearly flawed film.
The first thing I saw was the teaser flower, which was taken from one of the film's brightest moments: the family carnage. The director successfully portrayed the killer's pressing atmosphere, combined with the detailed description of the heroine carefully cleaning up the room in panic and erasing the traces of her past, which complemented each other and raised the audience's terrifying nerves, making the old-fashioned bridge. Duan has a new look. But after this period, the level of the whole film began to decline significantly, becoming a cliché B-level film. Of course, the director knew that this was top-heavy, so he set a big turning point at the end, wanting to surprise the audience, but unfortunately it was self-defeating. Not only did the plot fail to justify itself, but its blunt carving marks were also unacceptable. However, as a film novice's work, its CULT spirit is also worthy of praise. Without this work, everyone would not have seen "Eye of the Mountain" in the future!
Overall, the film is a typical anticlimactic and a French but Hollywood-flavored horror film. The split personality discussed in the film has gathered again in the recent horror film market.
