I have to say that the political correctness in Hollywood has ruined many good movies. For example, Escape from the Dead Town I watched before, I think it would be better if the orientation was less inclined to black people.
The title of the film is skeleton key, which is literally translated as human bone key in many areas, which adds to the horror atmosphere of the film. But if you watch the whole film, you will know that this film has nothing to do with human beings. I think "Master Key" is more suitable for this film.
I admire the director's way of handling the plot and his great patience before revealing the truth. The most important thing in a thriller is the revealing of the final answer, and before that, the director needs to make a natural and smooth foreshadowing of the final answer. On both counts, the movie does a great job.
The film sets up a mystery from the very beginning: what is the origin of the mysterious old woman and her husband. What happened to many strange and strange behaviors. Around this mystery, the film has drawn more people, such as lawyers who seem to be harmless to humans and animals, and black maids who have had service experience, etc., but the information between them is not completely matched.
At this time, the film will put the audience's perspective on the heroine. I hope the heroine can reveal the truth of the matter on our behalf. So the heroine, who won't die if she doesn't do it, begins the process of dying. And it's easy to get caught up in the sorcery proposition.
I think this part of witchcraft is the best part of the movie. For the evil old lady, witchcraft is the key to their ultimate success. They want the heroine to believe in witchcraft, so the villains start their own real and outrageous drama performances. The heroine believes in true witchcraft. And the audience with the same perspective as the heroine also slowly fell into the trap of witchcraft, until the mystery was finally revealed (from this point of view, the female villain is really not easy, not only have to take people's bodies, but also before Buy one, get one free to make people believe in witchcraft).
The whole process is a meticulously designed process that invites you to enter the urn. Everything is very natural without any bluntness. And some previous strange behaviors and plots will make the audience have a terrifying experience after the mystery is solved. In terms of performance, I think the heroine is still very good. Although this thriller does not challenge the acting skills very much, this film is an exception. The heroine embodies the curiosity full of fear, and the strong desire to survive and tenacity in the face of adversity. Fortunately, the heroine has performed very well in these two aspects.
The answer to this film is that the two black people who have been executed in the legend are the final bosses of the film. They deceive the victims and use witchcraft to obtain their bodies, and the souls of the victims will be forever imprisoned before them. Physically, the pain is unbearable. In the current political climate in Hollywood, this kind of film is simply outrageous. . .
The heroine's lesson tells us, don't be too confident at any time, you think you have enough willpower and IQ, maybe you are caught in a huge conspiracy.
