A meat maggot was stuffed in his mouth, and his mouth was sewn up...

For the score, for the controversy, I stayed up late to watch it today, and concluded that the director had a sudden neuropathy and made an unscrupulous neuropathy film.

about story logic. Some people say ignore logic to appreciate. But why? I appreciate a story why should I ignore all logic? Why do I have to give up the knowledge framework I have acquired while growing up? If these are completely put aside, what am I to appreciate and think about?

About perception. Some people say that different people have different trigger points. So please give me a feeling that can make people think deeply or seriously reflect on it. Perceptions of Faith and Trust? Is there? What does the film do other than show struggles? Can a struggling process be called insight? What guiding role can an unsuccessful struggle serve? Trust or distrust, hold on to faith or waver, what's the difference? Is my belief right or wrong, trust right or wrong?

About who is the ghost and who is the exorcist. All I can say about this question is that the director tries to arrange the results in a way of thinking that is not human. I don't know if the director arranged it with the mind of a ghost or something, but it's definitely a non-human mind. To sum up, anyone who is said to be a ghost can find a place to refute, and anyone who is said to be a ghost can also find a suspicious place. Some people may say that this just shows that everyone has different ghosts in their hearts. But what I want to ask is, is it a ghost if I am not firm in my beliefs? I don't trust strangers Is this a ghost? This is at best the struggle of a person to think about the world.

After watching the entire film, my biggest question is: what does the director want? Is it boring to do this kind of struggle display without any instruction? Is a movie that is not realistic enough to be considered a good movie? Worth the score? You drink too much at night and have a crappy dream and then take it out and make it into a movie?

I wrote these things with my eyelids up so late, just to tell anyone who is curious about this film: don't watch it. If you can't help it, then browse the Internet, it's definitely not worth the money to go to the theater. This is a film that exposes the commercial motives to fool the audience!

Thinking about it now, the image of the feeling after watching it is as follows: a meat maggot (the kind of cooking, I have heard of it but I have never tried it, and I will never try it), and it was sewed up. mouth up...

    "The ghost is the soul of the dead" is simply a live version of "Avalon"! People can't tell who is Merlin and Morgana, and who is the hidden devil! "Don't be fooled" Helpless Percyville, please go to victory boldly. In the 2016 Korean cult, there were two scares in the front, and all of them threw themselves into digging the mystery in the back. Just like being confused, they voluntarily became a lamb under the director's camera...

    The standard Korean commercial film + closed island technique, and the old-fashioned technique of using the difference in narrative angle to create a sense of suspense seems a little lacking in confidence. The overall structure is lengthy and procrastinated, the rhythm is too strong, the drama conflicts and emotional tension is weak, the logic is forced, the mentally retarded, and the performance is quite well-formed, but it is very hypocritical. Disappointed, it's okay to watch it as a second-rate commercial movie. At the level of Luohong Town, it's a bit playful.
