Immediate impression

Talk about the highlights of this movie:
1. Lionsgate's work, the brand is loud
2. The rhythm is relatively tight, the twist at the end of the plot
3. The point is, the torture process is still relatively delicate, it should be in the category of light cult
4. Work hard to find before and after Echoing, a little taste of the final image of all beings in "saw", let's take a

look at the shortcomings:
1. The time is short, of course, it is really limited to the story and there is not much content to tell
2. The plot is mixed, and it can't be regarded as a disadvantage in a strict sense, but in fact it is There is an episode in the American drama "Master of Horror" that also talks about the contradictory interpretation of the party who symbolizes good abuses the party who symbolizes evil, but this film refines the entanglement and emotional changes of the characters, but what the beauty does not do is to refine It is very thick and makes people feel that the thickness is uneven, which is an inexplicable discomfort. I feel that the performance of the actors is still a little bit worse, and there is the twist at the end. The idea of ​​this twist is very good, and it also brings a bit of black humor to the whole play, but what's the point? I can't understand the shock of such a twist. Of course, I have to admit that, according to the director's intention, I also believed that the police came to arrest the couple in the end. Who knows it turned out to be a misunderstanding in the end. However, when I finished it, it wasn't as addicting as "Sixth Sense" and "saw", but it was a bit inexplicable. Why do you want to do this?

Therefore, if there are too many twists, the person who twists is not human, nor is it a ghost.

There really isn't much to say about the characters. The wife complained about why the husband didn't get out of the window, and the husband blamed the wife for not living a more organized life. Contradictions start, the crime is too light, it is difficult to solve the hatred in my heart, and the intention to kill is born. If the husband does not obey, the wife leaves. The husband seeks death, here is very similar to Jigsaw's suicide by car, facing the righteousness of life and death, enlightenment, nirvana, becoming a Buddha and becoming a devil, and destiny. The husband's transformation is reasonable, and the wife's change from the initial vicious heart to the beginning to shake when she sees the bloody abuse scene is reasonable and reasonable. Moreover, even if hatred extends to parents and children, it is said to be inexorable, but time will pass, and people's hearts will be soft after all. So, I'm very relieved that the couple has always been encouraged by "He took our son, and his torture was even more inhumane!" This time is actually a climax. If you have a mirror to compare yourself with, it will be a bright spot. After all, it is made by people's flesh and blood, and hard-hearted words can only be hard on the surface, far from the inside.

The film I admire is to be pure, not to learn from the owner, but to point it from the West. There is no own thing. This film feels mixed with a lot of things, but I don’t know where the real point is. The poster and the title of the film can make one can't help but think of Japan's "Anomalous". Of course, what "Anomalous" expresses from the ideological level is far less profound than this film, but he is very pure, I will torture you, I will torture you, accompanied by shame, despair, trade, hope... This kind of work sees After being impressed, it is difficult to see the shadow of others.

One of the questions raised in "the tortured" is actually very interesting. When the prey is tortured halfway by you and you find that the prey has amnesia, can you determine whether the prey is the prey or not? Speaking of the skin, it's the skin. However, without the support of the soul, should we vent on such a "second-hand new" person? It is a pity that the film did not develop in this direction. I think that if it develops in this direction, the chance of winning will be greater.

All in all, the movie is so-so, can watch.

And to be honest, now this type of horror film can really easily fall into the clichés. It is difficult to innovate. You can only use horror gimmicks as needles. The real thread is often more mysterious.
