Total gloom and despair, Reivew on The Skeleton Key

The "Master Key" and the "Nine-person Confinement Room" are downright gloomy and desperate. Coincidentally, the main plots of these two stories are set in one house. The difference is that the young heroine in the "Master Key" actively enters and is "actively" imprisoned to become a living mummy. In the end, although she leaves the house, she is locked forever in an old and dying object. The protagonists in the "Nine-person Confinement Room" were forcibly closed and slaughtered one after another during mutual killings. The "survivors" finally found out that their "survivors" had only entered another with 5 million U.S. dollars. It's the same house-from one closed slaughterhouse to another.

If you let me summarize, I don’t know whether this conclusion can be accepted: The "Master Key" tells us that curiosity and compassion may drag you into a desperate situation. You think you are quite subjective, but in fact, step by step. Guided and plunged into witchcraft-like beliefs, he eventually lost his body and life. The "Nine-person Confinement Room" tells us that when the external pressure is strong enough to be irresistible, the unity between people will collapse at once. All resistance and struggle will be futile, and the most brutal aspect of human nature will inevitably burst out—— Whether it is "used" to slaughter others, or "used" for self-preservation.
