The rhythm of the whole movie focuses on the second half, and the first half is about introducing the relationship between the group. Until the male protagonist quarreled with the black brother because of the subject, the basic relationship between the characters has been introduced. From the very beginning, the film has laid a foundation for the emotional instability of the male and female protagonists. First, the friend persuaded him to break up, and the heroine felt guilty, and then Peeler and the heroine privately sow discord. There is not much in the film. The introduction was just taken by a shot, and I don't know what they talked about in detail. They only gave the first few sentences, but the general content can be guessed. The plot of the movie has been constantly alienating the male and female protagonists from the very beginning. The heroine's psychology was first of inferiority, anxiety, doubt, distrust, and finally found that she was betrayed and turned her face completely. The plot arrangement does not talk about whether it is appropriate or not, but there is nothing unreasonable, which is not bad.
Furthermore, in terms of horror elements, on the one hand, the difference in religious beliefs makes people feel weird, and the act of offering sacrifices makes people feel uneasy. The group of people in the film disappears one by one. Even if George secretly took pictures in the middle of the night, it would be a crime. They didn't die, but they were beaten to death by a stick, and the film didn't give too many scenes about their disappearance, but just arranged for a person to explain to the hero and heroine that they "went in a car". At this time, it was still in the cover-up stage. Later, George and Mark disappeared without concealing the fact that they were missing, but at this time, because the relationship between the male protagonist and George was strained, he was indifferent to this question, but think carefully about how both George and Christian have repeatedly shown disagreements in front of Peeler , Presumably Piller also had an idea about the disappearance of George and Mark. At the end, after drinking the hallucinogen-like tea for the male and female protagonists, the final preparations were completed in the name of the ceremony, and everyone except the female protagonist sacrificed. And the male protagonist was sacrificed because he was hated by the female protagonist. It all looks like it's designed, maybe Peeler? Maybe the elders? Who could it be? We have no way of knowing that this is also a feature of the way the film is presented. As an audience, it is not a complete God's perspective. Even after watching this movie, we know no more than the male and female protagonists. The content that the film shows to the audience is not so much a limitation as a choice, which increases the sense of fear without hindering the audience's understanding of the plot. This is where the film deserves praise.
