A film that doesn't go away

"The Collector", a very old movie, I was eating fried chicken at home with my friends today and wasted time waiting for the bus, so I looked for a horror movie to watch. The first is the usual American horror, pure sensory stimulation. Like Human Centipede and Chainsaw. And the director also happens to be the screenwriter of "Chainsaw" 4, 5, 6, and 7.

In terms of the storyline, the explanation at the beginning of the article is very inadequate, and it does not explain why the Night Demon chose this family, but just keeps repeating the lines, "Those who are not selected will be killed." But King, a man who entered the house It is more attractive that the robbery thief becomes the hero who saves the whole family, and it happens that the king is the protagonist throughout the development of the whole drama. At the end, although the king helped the little girl escape, but his car was knocked over by the night devil and he was taken away, leaving a suspense, a typical American style, to prepare for the second part. I don't know if the king will become the bait in the box. But how the seriously injured Night Demon knocked over the police car and took away the king made me wonder, after all, he also suffered a severe injury that pierced his heart. Whether it's a bug or not, it doesn't matter.

In terms of feelings and character, why king has become a hero probably depends on the fact that the host gave him a little comfort in poverty, and when his life was threatened, he was begged by others, and the hero felt a sense of salvation. will arise spontaneously. American blockbusters have always liked to have a hero, and of course the protagonist's halo won't let him die so early. When King escaped from the house, he saw the reflection of the Night Demon by the window and the little girl's cry for help. He could have retreated with all his body and took the warrior well, but he struggled and returned to the dangerous house. Probably because he remembered that he also has a daughter who is about the same age, because of human nature. But it also overestimates human nature. And everyone died so quickly because everyone was roaring hoarsely, but never thought of it, probably when people panic. The little girl survived and hid for so long, largely because of her patience, and all the mechanisms are designed for adults. As a child, she is much less likely to touch the organ. And these opportunities happen to be easily touched only if you resist, because your immature resistance will kill him.

Who is Night Demon? Spider, wasp. The appearance of animals and insects at the beginning gives people a feeling of shuddering, and the atmosphere of terror begins to render. Ye Mo was seen by the king and gave clues, but he never said it, guessing that it was the person who let the hornet's nest get rid of. And the name of the car at the beginning of the company is called Spider. Since the Night Demon is masked all the time, it can only be guessed from the body type, shoes, and insects. However, based on his understanding of the structure of the house, he must be a worker from a decoration company who has stayed in this home for a few months. That's why we design a mechanism that fits each character's personality, just like dominoes. So smooth and witty. Who is the last Night Demon? We don't know.

Although many commented that this is a film that simply stimulates the senses, I think it still has a certain story, rationality and humanity. For me, sensory stimulation is acceptable, not just for stimulation, but a "game" of wits and courage in a confined space. But what exactly does Collector collect? Fear or what? Maybe the second part will be revealed. But I'm not ready to watch the second part.
