1. After reading the analysis, it turns out that, as Director Luo said, the story of the movie is actually about a battle of siege and defense.
2. Compared with "The Exorcist", it is actually more like "The Shining" in the context of Asian shamans. On the surface, it is a bizarre event, but in fact, it is a battle between gods and demons and sorcery.
3. The director did not give a reason, and in fact, he did not need any reason. The director said that it was because he wanted to write a story about a victim. The victims and all the people who were about to die, what happened to them really couldn’t be used for cause and effect. What is the logical inference, "you have to go where you shouldn't go, and you have to do things you shouldn't do", it can only be interpreted in such a fateful and existential way, so I agree with the director's mysterious handling method in the film .
4. In the movie, the evil spirit sorcery is carried out according to several steps, from being hooked to getting sick, to inviting a shaman to lead the "virtual master" in the name of exorcism, to committing evil, and finally to the evil spirit to collect the soul . The other murders at the beginning and the end of the story also only show the tip of the iceberg in a few steps. If you understand this logic, it looks smooth. It can also explain the logic of Park Chunda's transformation into a zombie.
5. Several MacGuffins in it, such as dead crows and skeleton flowers, are evil spirits. The local gods protect people from evil spirits and do various tricks, evil spirits attack, and spirits guard.
