Some things don't exist unless you haven't seen them.

To be honest, I've always had a contempt for horror movies, because these types of films convey a sad, deadly depressing vibe from time to time. Violence, ghosts, gore, death and decadence. These substances are a nightmare, a fright, for some children and some with limited capacity.

But it is strange that the vast majority of us are willing to be frightened by this kind of fright, and happily enjoy a kind of sensual and psychological stimulation that horror movies bring. Want to see but dare not see, dare not see but want to see is not enough. In the final analysis, it is the imaginative brain and the curious heart of human beings at work. It's like watching porn, wanting to watch it, but thinking it's dirty, or afraid of being called a pervert by others, so I don't dare to watch it. I don't look at it, I want to watch it impulsively. The human mind is really a complex substance.

And I, under this psychological influence, tried watching this film. After watching it, I feel that the plot is average, but the perfect combination of special effects and sound effects is incomparable to Chinese and European and American horror movies. This is a real horror, which is different from the rigidity of Chinese horror films, and it is also different from the show-off of blood in European and American horror films. It is extreme depression, without a trace of procrastination, disguising a kind of grievance. Not only is it difficult for the people in the play to escape this horrific grievance, but even we who live in the real world seem to be drawn closer to this. Amidst the inescapable curse of rage. Makes me shudder! Especially when Gaya's bloody corpse slowly and resentfully climbed down the stairs from the upstairs, when the bone-like "cluck" sounded, there was no other sound, just a kind of piercing. The resentment of the screen, I hate the illusion that Gaya will rush out of my TV and kill me. I couldn't bear to see it, couldn't bear to watch it. I have to say that this is an excellent horror movie, but I also have to say that this is a ghost movie with too much murderousness. In the film, it seems that there is only one emotion of "resentment", and nothing else. Too serious and rigid. That's the downside of this film, it's instilling repressed emotions in us all the time. Blindly dead people, whether related or innocent, must die. It also seems to convey a hopeless view of "one person loses me, and I lose the world", which is completely incorrect. I finished watching it, but I have a more loving and fearful attitude towards horror movies.

Although my heart is full of the psychology of rejecting such films, I also find the plot of this film deeply ridiculous. But there are also some small questions in my heart, that is: "Do ghosts really exist in this world?"

For this question, I have always maintained a neutral opinion. Why "neutral"? instead of rejecting? Maybe everyone will ask me, and sometimes I will ask myself, but in today's highly developed science, there are some things that science can't answer.

So, some things, if you haven't seen them, means they don't exist. We should all be thankful that we haven't seen each other, so even if you don't do good things, don't do the unconscionable. Because good and evil will pay off in the end. Do it yourself.

    I watched it by myself on the night shift. It turned out that the first time I saw Misaki Ito was in this film, no wonder it looked familiar

    Japanese horror movies do not pay attention to cause and effect, and people die for no reason.
