The film is an excellent indoor horror film that uses elements such as delayed suspense, blocked space, and claustrophobia to shape the tension and horror of the film. But apart from these, the most powerful weapon of the film is actually the face of Bette Davis, which was once so bright and smooth, but is now covered with wrinkles and sagging. Wearing thick white powder and jagged lipstick, Davis made herself (even in close-up shots) look disturbing, weird and scary, as if her wax figure in Madame Tussauds was in a heat wave Slowly melt in. But, really, this is Bette Davis himself. If she just wears a mask or a wig, or uses some special effects makeup that makes her look terrifying but beyond recognition, this movie will be a different look. But the most frightening thing about "What Ever Happened to BabyJane?" is that the audience will never forget that they are looking at Bette Davis. She is older than before, so people can't help it. Staring at her, she made no secret of it. In the middle of the film, there is a very wonderful part of the scene, she stares straight (through) the lens to make-up

The two sisters in the play are not good people, and the fight between the two women outside the play has not stopped. It's a real treat to watch the two of them play, Bette Davis in adult clothes and a plaster mask is crazy, scary, and even better! Characters like Gloria Swanson on Sunset Boulevard

Adding up the thirty-year history of grievances and grievances between the two heroines outside the drama, I feel that this is both the selling point of the film and the reversal of the ending for emotional balance: "You are the one who died, and you are your brother." Falling in love and killing each other to this level, it has actually surpassed the pattern of "Sunset Boulevard" being too deep and obsessive, and it also shows that its depth may be really just accidental, but the intertextuality between reality and fiction is often That's how it works.
