I watched this movie because I like Brad Peter, and I am particularly fond of horror movies. It can be said to be quite shocking after watching it at the time. The plot is very compact and the horror atmosphere is also created quite well. In the end, the hero was killed. Wife, forcing the male protagonist to shoot himself can be said to be the climax of the whole show. It feels to me that the power of religion is sometimes very evil, giving bad people an excuse to do bad things.
