I thought it was a thrilling escape movie, but it was actually a warm story, containing the core meaning of women's self-salvation. There are not many bloody shots in the film, and the rhythm is not fast. If it is just for visual stimulation, this movie may disappoint the audience a bit, but the connotation of the story is contemplative. After all, it is based on John Swithen's novel, and the quality of the script is here
.
The film mainly uses indoor scenes to complete the storytelling. Two similar lakeside holiday villas respectively staged the heroine’s deep spiritual nightmare and the physical dilemma of the real world. The indoor rooms here are no longer just simple physical scenes, but more It becomes a mixed space that carries the concept, order and reality of patriarchy. On the one hand, the house is the symbol of the heroine’s original family and the new family, and is the place where her spirit and body fall; on the other hand, Jesse’s bound and suppressed body and isolated rooms constitute the crime scene and the courtroom.
