【Editor's Note】:
After reading the evaluation here, it is horrible; the film reviews of this film are incomprehensible; there is no way to get useful information through the film reviews; I simply downloaded and watched the movie myself; just to add a film review;
Very lucky, very lucky, I watched this movie; got a blockbuster;
This is a standardized and standard horror film like a textbook. The only shortcoming is that it is an old film; no matter from the script, the shooting plan, and the later execution, it is in place; the narrative structure is reasonable and logical, clear and concise, and the actors are reasonable and excellent. The shooting technique is outdated but in line with the requirements of the film.
When the film develops to this day, look back at the films of the last century, the results are impressive;
Recommended index 5;

[Evaluation of movie elements]:

Environment and scene: 5 stars for success in environment and scene creation, -1 stars behind performance methods and technology

[Additional sub-items]:
Deliberately procrastinating:
This additional item is unique to my film review, as long as this item has a direct -3 star; in my opinion, a film that deliberately delays time should not be passed; but this film does not involve this deduction;
Challenge the audience IQ:
This additional item is unique to my film reviews, as long as this item has a direct -4 star; in my opinion, a film that creates extraordinary stimuli to challenge the audience's IQ can be directly included in the stream of bad films; but This film does not involve the deduction;
Special effects: inconsistent with the current special effects measurement standards; this item is ignored
Well-known actors:
Jeffrey Rush (The King’s Speech) bonus points
