Starring two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank and mature handsome Jeffrey Dean Morgan with Lee Pace in a supporting role, this thriller tells the story of New York City starring Hilary Swank. Female doctor Juliet Dermer finds a house in Hamilton, Brooklyn, living alone in an empty house, but gradually finds that her landlord Max (starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan) has a crazy crush and peeps at her in the dark, A sin caused by love happened quietly in this empty old house.
We can't see any signs of terror in the movie's opening half an hour. Swank plays the role of a strong woman very well. The female doctor Juliet played this time is still independent and strong, and her career is smooth. She has a favorite object Jack (played by Lee Pace), however, Emotions are not very harmonious. After moving into the new house, he has an ambiguous relationship with the landlord played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but still misses Jack. The storyline is in the first half hour, but it can only be said step by step. However, the director shot everything, and the time went back to the time when Swank performed the surgery. It turned out that Max had already fallen in love with Juliet at first sight, and he couldn't extricate himself from it. He designed Juliet to live in his own old house in a deformed way, and spied on her every move in the dark. After Juliet showed him a little, he also fantasized about various pictures, such as when Juliet was away from home, he The scene of masturbating in the bathtub speaks volumes about his paranoia and ugly fantasies. However, Max fantasized that everything was wiped out after Jack's visit, and Jack and Juliet got back together again, and their lust was rekindled. Max, who spied on all this, couldn't stand it, drugged Juliet, and performed some lewd acts. Juliet noticed the abnormality, so she installed a camera in the room, and finally one day, she saw the creepy picture.
In fact, Max's paranoid sexual fantasies have been experienced as early as in "A Dream of Red Mansions": Jia Rui fell in love with Wang Xifeng, but unfortunately Wang Xifeng couldn't climb high, and he still masturbated in front of the image of her fantasy in the mirror when he was sick. It's a pity that in the end, Jia Rui was killed by a poisonous scheme, and the straight path was Wang Xifeng's cruel heart. In this film, Max's love for Juliet is almost the same, and it is nothing more than a self-defeating love, but it is even more intensified, and it develops into an invasion of private houses and secret obscene. In fact, Max is not as wretched, ugly and vulgar as Jia Rui. In fact, he also has a lot of mature charm. I remember seeing him in "Single Poisonous Mom". I am afraid that the director chose this role and did not want us to deny this role. After all, who does not have a little hidden crazy fantasy in his heart. It's just that if the matter of love is deliberately arranged, it will become a terrifying thing. If Max can openly express his heart to Juliet at that time, and offer to chase after Juliet, and have a fair competition with Jack, perhaps the odds of winning are relatively good. However, the definition of "gentleman" and "villain" is nothing but public or private behavior. If these villains have evil intentions, it will be a bit terrifying.
The horror scenes in the second half gradually bring the audience to a climax, but only a few scenes can make people feel nervous. The scene of the broken mirror is still a bit of a visual impact, and the rest of the shots can only be said to be entry-level horror movies. The violence is not violent enough, the bloody is not bloody enough, and the fear caused by the psychological gap of seeing the video is only normal, with no new ideas and no bright spots.
