make up mysteries

The movie "Desolate Demon Night" was watched for the third time before I finished it. The first two times were at night, and I gave up and was afraid.
After reading it, the feeling is: don't be confused by the so-called master's tricks. They don't even know what to say.

Suspense, thrillers are best at tricking mysteries, some are brilliant, some are disgusting.
All in all, it's all right. In fact, you only need to shake your head and shake the fog off, and you don't need to go into it.
But some people just have to watch it repeatedly and study what each shot is saying.
In fact, when you are talking at length, the director should be snickering, and he is amused by your profoundness.

Probably because he is a rock singer, the house is dark and there seems to be no window.
Sometimes the light source comes from the ground, which stretches and expands the shadow of the person and puts it on the wall, which is really annoying!
There are also sudden music and phone ringing, which make people scared at any time.
The most annoying thing about these kinds of movies is that the horror scenes are replayed so many times that you simply don't know when they will come out and scare you.

Can you say this movie is a musician's midlife crisis?
It is probably sexual dysfunction, suspecting that his wife will cheat, and some hallucinations, a series of bizarre things happened.
In those hallucinations, he became a young man who fell in love with a woman who looked just like his wife and had sex frantically.
The woman in his hallucination who looks like his wife takes the initiative to seduce him, and he later kills his wife's lover.

But his hallucinations really happened in other people's lives, that young man existed.
But since it is a suspense film, of course, there are many unexplainable plots, otherwise, how can it confuse the audience.
There's no need to go into the details of what's going on, then you'll really fall into the trap of the director.
It's good to have fun, but it's basically scary to me, and it's quite boring to say.
Such a movie must be watched during the day, and everything feels suspicious at night, and there will be sequelae.
Forget it.

    9.0 / A film that breaks and transforms the genre. It cannot provide any logical explanation. A character can be here and there at the same time, friend or foe, or instantly become another character. The rupture and form of logic present a sense of horror and fear. A lot of overlays and fade transitions are an illusion of "audience friendliness". The seemingly linear narrative is filled with irrational plot. A notable use of the lens is the high pitch and high pitch, causing weightlessness and vertigo in the cinematic space. Different from the choice of general commercial films, the film uses almost the same camera position for a large number of fast forward and reverse shots. This seems to open up the possibility of a reading, such as Peter and f both having "dry pillow" shots, but in the end it's just futile. Just as almost everyone in the film is presented very realistically, it seems to fit the drama's requirements for complex and historically rich characters, but in fact it is still subject to irrational plot development. There is nothing more than an external threat or an internal lust that drives the character. Each character seems to be logically invested in this illogical film, and in the end only the sensibility is true, just like the highway is like a neuron, rushing to the transmitter that stimulates the feeling.
