True fear comes from everyday life

Be a good person who will harm your own interests, or be a cold-blooded bad person. To be or not to be. An eternal dilemma. The female protagonist, the country girl, is going to fight in the city, I am afraid there are not many choices. However, the reality is cruel, and weak and kind people are always pushed into the corner by the cold reality. For the first time, the heroine was forced to choose between a witch and a promotion. She was kind and helpful, but she was unwilling to give up the temptation for promotion and was forced by the supervisor. She refused and offended the witch because of her tough attitude and humiliation. For the second time, the heroine was forced to kill the blood sacrifice to appease the evil spirits. She was unable to attack other animals, so she had to kill her own cat, just because it was easier. The third time, he originally planned to deliver the curse to the enemy, but he gave up because of the crying face on his face. In the end, when she was forced to the bottom of the wall and had to face it alone, she finally broke out to dig a grave late at night, and returned the curse to the witch who had been sympathetic to her at the beginning. Hypocrisy expressed regret for witches, admitted mistakes, and "become" a good person. When we feel sorry for the heroine and feel that this is just a useful ending routine for horror films, isn't there a reason why the heroine ended up like this?

The most successful thing about this film is that in the face of the dilemmas we often face in our daily life and the fears that arise from them, the heroine can be any of us. The film deepens this fear, exposes the weak side of human nature, and puts an almost cruel consequence in front of every "ordinary person". This is a real, heartfelt fear. Even if you are vegetarian and love animals like the heroine, pure and kind, and have a beautiful love, you will always face cruel life tests. Every weakness of yours may ruin your life.

From this point of view, being a strong person is much more difficult, but also much more important, than simply being a good person. Life is not easy, do it and cherish it.

    The plot is too weak and can't be supported by a few horror settings,

    It's actually very exciting, three and a half stars.
