The entire film of Reaper of Souls is a long shot, and the film at that time can only be shot for ten minutes at a time, so it can be clearly seen in the middle that when the screen is completely black, it is time for a roll of film. If Hitchcock had the current conditions, It is estimated that it will really be a mirror to the end. However, each shot was shot continuously for ten minutes. The difficulty level can be imagined, and the whole film was in a small confined space. The accumulation of debris and props on the scene was a considerable challenge to the actors. The long shot was quite experimental at the time, and because of the long shot, editing and tools for creating rhythm and conflict were abandoned, and the atmosphere could only be enhanced by the actors’ acting skills and the use of shots, while some of the art of murder conveyed in the film was The point of view also blinds the audience to the experimental greatness of the film. It is said that after the film was released, many audiences asked for a replacement, causing Hitchcock to buy back the screening rights and not re-release it until the 1980s. Brandon believes that there are good and bad people, and there are many insignificant people in the world who should be murdered, and he longs for a pursuit, turning murder into an art to satisfy his pleasure as a superior person. For Hitchcock's film concept, murder is an art that he has been pursuing. Although the film does not show the specific process of murder, he carefully shows the tension after the murder is hidden and discovered. The atmosphere and sensitive boundaries are exquisite.
