magic of the south

This is a film made by a director who can't pick actors and a screenwriter who shows off his mind. A pair of black slaves who were burned during the American slavery era gained pagan magic and continued their lives by clinging to the bodies of the ignorant on the southern manor, while the nurse who sought redemption for her father was in a punished in the old body of the man. The South and North of the United States are different from the Chinese concept of North and South. If you are lucky enough to read a short story by Fitzgerald, such as "Ice Palace" or "The Last Girl of the South", you can outline the gloomy, pale, noble And the sick South, sultry, fertile, full of swampy damps and graveyard gloom, is quite different from the wild, reckless, cold, and masculine North. Faulkner's short story "A Rose for Alice" has the same magical atmosphere, in which the surly mistress of a failing southern estate lives day and night in a decaying attic. Decades ago, her father died of illness, leaving her to take care of the family business and become a famous old maid. The only one who had close contact with her was a hired, sturdy black slave. Until the day she died, people in the town found a man's body weathered for decades in a remote bedroom. It can be speculated that the hostess has been sleeping with the body day and night for decades. The American South has formed an extremely claustrophobic character, intermarriage and even incest, which are common in the novels of the two authors. However, the South also has its own flamboyance, such as the melodrama "Interview with the Vampire," which can only be equipped in the South with that kind of baroque rich tapestry box splendor, and Cruise's exuding when he drank the blood of female slaves. Rich and fleshy. Of course, there is also the immortal source of eternal and perverted vitality.

Anyway, thrillers have three treasures: heavy rain. Light and dark. Can't die.

The two major taboos of horror films are committed, one is that the plot is too conventional, and the other is that the characters are too mentally retarded. Most importantly, is this film the key to TMD?
