The film is less than 90 minutes long, and the plot is not sloppy. First, it takes ten minutes to briefly explain the background, and then the theft story starts quickly. It is worth noting that the director used one shot to the end, shooting the three people after they entered the house. A rare technique for horror films.
The director's shooting skills are rich, and he makes good use of the asymmetry of the message to portray the horror position. The audience with an omniscient perspective is worried about the character. For example, Alex, who turned back along the road, was unaware of the accident, but he still entered the house with a relaxed attitude, which almost caused an accident; horror films The typical subjective perspective of following the thieves fills the whole film, especially the escape process of the hero and heroine. For example, the kicking is sweet and then bitter. In addition to reflecting the upper and lower positions, it also kicks their hopes into the abyss, in addition to the horror that constitutes Jump Scare. , but also make the audience have a heartfelt concern.
The movie shows the impressive abilities of blind veterans, such as a keen sense of smell (stinky feet) and hearing (stepping on the floor), and the thief was forced to temporarily stop breathing. Do you remember the later "Silent Despair"? The most exciting scene is that the blind man suddenly turns off the lights, placing the audience on the same level as the thief, the blind man who flickers and appears but has a keen hearing, and the thief is at a disadvantage.
The thief is hesitant to choose between freedom or money. He can only choose one of the two. The greedy choice of the two leads to all the people in trouble. Instead, the decision to save others and leave resolutely comes easily. Who is the villain of the movie? Horn? The question is worth pondering. How much are you willing to pay to redeem your tightly locked freedom? Are you willing to give up your life in times of crisis? Keep fighting, or leave?
The rhythm of the overall film is bright, and it seems that the director's audio-visual language is not rich enough. For example, the scenes of milking are not refreshing enough, and the elements of the big house can be used more effectively, but the flaws are not hidden, and the film is short and concise.
