The film was inspired by the French novelist Thierry Jonquet's "Tarantula". Almodóvar was exposed to the original novel in 2001, the French novelist Terry Jonquet's novel "Tarantula". The original novel involves some rather adult and extreme themes, and this has become the focus of Almodovar's adaptation of the script. With the writing of the script, the story of Almodovar gradually deviated from the original plot of the novel. Except for what Almodovar himself called the "story about the violence and vendetta of Dr. Ledgerde", the story of the film can be said to have little connection with the story of the novel. Therefore, the film differs greatly from the original book. This is Almodovar's first attempt at a horror theme. The heroine was still Penelope Cruz when it was first announced in 2009. In the book, the fate of many characters are intertwined like a spider web, and the multi-clue narrative structure is exactly what Almodovar is good at. While writing the script, Almodovar admitted that he was influenced by George Fransch's "Eyes without a Face" and Franz Lang's works. And he once wanted to shoot the film into a silent black and white film, but finally gave up this idea and chose to shoot a film with his own characteristics.

The female number one and the male number two bear the burden of humiliation, and the only dawn is freedom, practicing yoga, doing sculptures, and creating creations, day after day, and eventually become a great weapon. The dramatic point of this movie is: let's see how the confused brother handles the miserable brother.

    Five stars if it's a new director, up to three or four stars if it's Almodóvar. The script is even more bizarre than the heyday, but I don't think it's much more shocking. The details are frequently short and short, even hindering the smooth flow of logic. Regarding vision, it may be that Dao Dao got older and started to play with composition without playing with color, and his features became weaker.
