very cool

With such a low score, I was a little worried when I watched it. But in fact, it is very cool to watch. The extremely weird and hideous scenes and soundtrack dig out the fear in my heart, and there are a lot of eye-stimulating parts (but even if it is ugly, it is too ugly, the director died). But I can't grasp the main thread, and I can't figure out the behavior of Scarlett's role, which means that my understanding of the plot is still a little bit poor, and I have to read the question and answer to figure out what the story is about. However, this also reflects some of the director's problems. The atmosphere and suspense of each part are well created, and it is absurd and thrilling everywhere, but the grasp of the whole is still a little weak. Scarlett's performance is very internalized, and it is also to express her unusual ideology, but it still returns to the problem of the narrative level, which also makes the film always shrouded in a veil, which is not a disadvantage, because it looks supernatural and horrifying , but audiences who think they have never read the original novel can hardly understand it completely, and those who do not read the introduction may have a harder time grasping the core of the story.
However, I don't think it's too much to watch it again.
