A heavy-duty movie dressed in a small fresh coat. The whole movie is full of bright sunshine, green space and a large area of ​​white. At first glance, it is thought to be a romantic holiday style with Nordic characteristics. With the deepening of the plot, an "Orphan" The face of Resentment is gradually revealed. In the big environment, personal beliefs and values ​​will be completely subverted. The emotions of anger, panic and helplessness will gradually spread. The more you are driven by curiosity, the more you are on the verge of death. Just stepping on this piece of land can either accept it or turn it into dust, the male can be used as a breeding pig, and the female can either sacrifice or be a sow. The most exciting part is in the next 20 minutes, which is also the bloodiest part. However, the refreshing foreshadowing of the first two hours made the viewers not feel abrupt at all, but felt that it was a matter of course. Once submerged in the plot, these pictures felt normal. The cult's control of the mind is really terrible, you are not alone. , is a group, is a big family, sacrifice is not the end but a new reincarnation and beginning. Finally, if I don't describe the plot in a cult coat, the male protagonist's sowing process is estimated to be difficult to succeed in reality.

    After watching the DC version, the director has great ambitions. He tried to take care of the different aspects of the commune in the narrative, but in the end he just stayed on the curiosity of the cult ritual, the strength was not enough, and the visual experience was very loose. The director tried to break the routine of traditional cult horror films, but in the end he failed to give a better direction. Basically, he couldn't find the northern version of "Hereditary Doom" after the expansion of ambition. The director is still a good director, and we can look forward to the next part of the cult trilogy.

    It can be called an upgraded version of "Hereditary Doom", which further develops the mode of corruption of human hearts + "cult" control. There are no supernatural scenes at all, only the idyllic scenery under the fresh filter, and the strange cloud has never dissipated. A group of arrogant, ignorant and ignorant so-called evolutionary & modern "civilized people" broke into the closed primitive ecological tribe, how to truly manifest in the wild state that deviates from the established cognition, it is both frightening and real (from this point of view) It is better than "Hereditary Doom"). The female protagonist is an orphan abandoned by modern society, but she is reborn in this wild land and her pain is released; although the first third of the foreshadowing is to lay the foundation for the following text, it is a bit lengthy.
