The director of this film once said that he was a parody of the classic horror movie "The Stranger" in 2008. In that movie, the goddess Liv Tyler became the terror responsible, and in the general environment of horror movies, it has once again reproduced its glory. The period of "both internal and external cultivation".
I have always said that a good horror movie must be like a master in the world of martial arts. Not only is the external power solid, but the internal power must be unfathomable. The so-called external power is nothing more than the scene structure, the appearance of the actors, the character design, the performance skills, and the method of death. How to spray or when to spray plasma, these elements can basically be done in many horror movies, but the difficulty is in internal strength. How to cooperate with these solid external factors and integrate it is the biggest problem, so we will often complain about it. The plot setting of a horror film, the lack of logic, the atmosphere and rhythm tension, including the framing of the camera and the conversion of the personal perspective, this is the reason for the lack of internal strength.
Although there are many flaws in this film, the external skills are not good, and the internal skills are not pure, it allows the audience to experience a new viewing mode, because you can not only feel the fear and senses of the murdered, but also experience The worry and sadness of the murderer, this female man is so fucking powerful... Often we see murderers chasing after them, and big-breasted beauties rushing in front of them. This single sensory experience makes people feel tired. Therefore, this film's slightly avant-garde approach and dual-angle psychological experience can easily make the audience feel the taste and appreciate the director's good intentions. Even if it is not an excellent horror movie, it is satisfied with the physical senses. One point is enough.
For that alone, it deserves a thumbs up.
