    ♥ Dongbao. 1 The Japanese version of Liaozhai, the movement of the mirrors, the pictures, the scenery, the colors, and the soundtrack are all very good, and the production in the 1960s is still there. But the 183-minute slow narrative is exhausting. 2 "Snow Girl" in the heroine Kishi Keiko dew two points. 3 I don't know if the nude woman painted full of scriptures in Gui Zhihong's "Evil" refers to "Fang without Ears". ★★★★D118 (uncut full version/D9/Weixin WX-0501/English 2 repair full version + Taiwan 3 subtitles + 3 version preview

    Unlike ordinary horror films, there is nothing scary about it, it is more like a drama, both the stage and the performance form are like the style of the drama. Every story actually anticipates disaster from the beginning, but the director is to make you anxiously wait for the ending. Because monsters and monsters also have emotions and desires, and they will hesitate, which will affect the final outcome. This is the demon with human nature.
