Roman Polanski's unique "insecurity" and hesitation of human nature once again became the main theme of the story. The horror and horror theme of the film should be Polanski's best, coupled with the unique temperament of Johnny Depp starring, the film is of course exciting, but I am afraid Polanski will let you down this time. If the film showed the director's ability to create atmosphere in the first 20 minutes, then the next hour or so was a bit like a pile of unintelligible horror elements. The deliberately arranged car chase and sex scenes are inevitably far-fetched, and the mysterious party scene also makes people feel that Polanski has lost the original expressiveness like in "Los Mary's Baby" . Another major failure of the film is the role of the mysterious girl. Her emptiness and paleness are probably unprecedented in all Polanski's movie roles.
