I never watched it on TV when I was a kid

When I grow up, it feels really wonderful to look back at the suspense that I didn't solve when I was a child.

The first half of the textbook-level horror film, the second half of the journey still returned to the universal morality like melodrama, but some surreal scenes (demolition of walls) created without abusing CGI in that era are quite good.

The heart of horror is the unpredictable. Generic horror experiences must be based on human senses (sound design, with misleading editing), and when the film begins to explain why or go back in time to break the continuity of the horror experience, the horror film part is over, All that's left is to fill in the gaps in the story structure with universal moral melo drama or action scenes.
