Negative Positive
Title: A psychological view of this film
Review: There are obviously different ways to view this film: looking for the horror, suspense, plot, acting, cinematography, etc. I would like to point out the psychological aspect of the film. We see two people agonizing over what they are doing, a male serial killer who feels compelled to kill and a female driven to drink. We see each of them groaning, sighing, moaning, crying, breathing heavily, as they think about what they have done, how it is destroying them, and the agony and difficulty each is having trying to gain control and stop killing and drinking. The female is controlling her drive, but with difficulty, but the male is unable to do so. The film moves at times from the present to the past, as do people when they think about what is driving them. Without revealing the stunning ending, once we understand the psychological drives and dilemmas, we can understand the ending of the film better.
