Compared to many classic high-scoring thrillers, it's not the most terrifying, or the bloodiest, but what makes it memorable is its setting: an ordinary apartment building; and characters Setting: The apartment manager and a pair of ordinary men and women. This kind of story based on daily life scenes always brings a strong sense of substitution. The simple and fat building administrator who greets you every day will come and go freely in his home every day, hide under your bed at night, and manipulate objects in the toilet... Although the plot of a perverted man hiding at home is not new, However, the "hiding at home" in this film reduces the atmosphere of ghosts and ghosts, and there is not much description of the fear of the protagonist after he perceives the strangeness. As an audience, he is always nervous that when a perverted man is doing ghosts, he will be discovered by the heroine and cause conflicts, but he has successfully completed a series of small actions unscrupulously. This setting brings a wonderful feeling of watching the movie to the audience.
What's more rare is that when the film unfolds these thrilling plots, it does not use a lot of shaking and sudden switching of the usual "scared" shooting shots, but rather calmly "narrates" his perverted behavior from the perspective of the Mediterranean man. The point is, these actions of him are all based on objects in daily life, and it can be said that he is a smart prisoner. And as an audience, I couldn't immediately guess what he was doing (especially the cockroach plot), so these little actions he did at Clara's house were just foreshadowings, which made people look forward to the final effect of these "pranks" What is it, so the plot after Clara comes home every day becomes very attractive. Finally, these very realistic thriller plots make people feel immersed in and fearful of the environment around them for a long time after watching the movie. There are still relatively few European and American thriller movies that can achieve this effect.
In addition to being sufficiently creepy, this film also leaves room for aftertaste in the shaping of the characters. It can be said that it is a thriller with a little literary style. Unlike many European and American thrillers, the characters exist for the sake of the plot, and the movie is just to shake out unexpected burdens, and finally make an amazing reversal. The sunny and cheerful young girl Clara and the middle-aged Mediterranean widow, these two diametrically opposed characters meet to bring about a wonderful plot. Although the two have similar roles, it can be felt that the focus of the portrayal is on the perverted man. A psychopath with a dark childhood experience hates and hurts a sunny person for no reason. This extremely twisted and jealous mentality and the motives of what he does are difficult for ordinary people to understand. It is because of this that the character becomes intriguing.
