"Peeping Tom" is a unique type of protagonist in thriller and suspense films.

Whether it is the old classic "While You Are Sleeping" or the more recent "Door Lock" and "I'm Under Your Bed", they all feature peeping Toms as the protagonists and have created many famous scenes that are terrifying when you think about them carefully.

Recently, another suspense film with the theme of "Voyeurism" was released to us.

But this time, people won’t be scared after watching it. The whole movie is full of crazy criticism, constant reversals, and violence against violence. Everyone who has seen it is refreshed——She's Dead。

The male protagonist in the film, Gu Jung-tae, is a real estate agent.

On the surface, he is a model employee who treats customers very considerately. However, secretly he is a voyeur who often uses his job to sneak into private homes and spy on other people's privacy.

However, the male protagonist does not consider himself "perverted" because he never does anything to harm others, he just cannot suppress his curiosity.

In his opinion, everyone wears a mask when they go out, and only when they return home do they reveal their true selves.

Every time he discovered a secret that others didn't want to tell others, he felt particularly satisfied. He would even take photos and take away some souvenirs.

Over time, the male protagonist even set up a special room to store the evidence of his trespassing.

Recently, Han Sul-ra, an internet celebrity who lives nearby, caught his attention.

The male protagonist met Sura by chance at lunch one day and found that she was eating grilled sausages and posing with salad. She even posted the photos online and lied that she was a vegetarian.

This kind of hypocritical internet celebrity is an excellent case for observation.

So, the male protagonist followed her tirelessly for four months and found out that the "beautiful and kind-hearted" personality that Sura created on the Internet was all fake.

He really wanted to go into her house and uncover more of her secrets.

But unfortunately, the other party was not his client, so he couldn't get the key and couldn't enter the house.

Just when the male protagonist was worried about this, Sura suddenly found him and said that she wanted to rent out the house and left her room card.

The male protagonist felt that God was helping him, and soon he chose a day when Sura was not at home and sneaked into her house.

But he didn't expect that when he entered the room, he found that Sura was not only at home, but also dead on the sofa.

Seeing the blood all over the ground, the male protagonist was so scared that he turned around and fled the scene. He then hurriedly contacted the client who wanted to see the house, hoping that the client would see the body first and call the police for him.

However, that night, when he brought his client in, Sura's body was missing.

Could it be that during this half day, the murderer returned and cleaned up the scene?

The more terrifying guess is that when the male protagonist sneaked in during the day, the murderer was hiding in the room and saw clearly who he was.

This conjecture was soon confirmed. The male protagonist received a threatening letter the next day, which contained a photo of him at Sura's house...

Not long after, Sura's friend went to the police station to report that Sura was missing.

The police followed the clues to find the male protagonist and discovered bloodstains in Sura's home.

The male protagonist realized that if he could not find the real murderer, he would most likely become a scapegoat.

So, relying on his long-term understanding of Sura, he quickly identified two suspects.

One is Lee Jong-hak, a fan of So-ra.

This person is a vulgar man who often leaves harassing messages under Sura's account. Recently, he has become more and more extreme, claiming that if Sura dates other men, he will die with her.

The other is the whistle for reporting crimes to the police station.

She is also an internet celebrity who claims to be a good friend of So-ra. In fact, they are just fake sisters who often expose each other's negative information online and recently ended up in court.

However, just when he wanted to tell the police everything, the obscene man suddenly died in his home.

Also made public was the evidence of him sneaking into Sura's house...

After a search, the police found Sura's blood on the soles of the male protagonist's shoes. All of a sudden, all kinds of true and false evidence emerged, leaving the male protagonist speechless.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have been a prey trapped from the very beginning...

So what is the truth of the incident?

In the second half of the film, the perspective suddenly changes and Sura becomes the protagonist.

Sura broke with her family very early and came to the big city alone to work hard.

With no background and not much talent, she could only find work as a hostess, where she witnessed the injustice and dangers of society.

Afterwards, she quit her job, had plastic surgery, and became an internet celebrity.

After all, in today's era, as long as there is a camera, everyone can have a selling point, and even if there is no selling point, you can create one to attract attention - and what she thought of was to make money by using the love of others.

On the Internet, she maintains an image of a beautiful, kind-hearted and wealthy person. She rescues stray animals and donates to poor children. Her account portrays her as a world of love and a peaceful life.

In fact, she killed the rescued animals because she didn't find it troublesome, and even Shaoer was a hired assassin. The two of them planned to hype themselves up by exposing each other's negative information. After all, "black and red are also red."

In Sura's business, the road to becoming an internet celebrity was smooth sailing until the male protagonist appeared.

Because she always carried a camera with her when she went out to take selfies, she discovered early on that a man had been following her.

She was afraid that her true identity would be discovered, and was confused about the other party's purpose, so she began to follow the other party.

Funny enough, when the male protagonist was waiting outside the Sura Gate tirelessly, he didn't know that his family background had been discovered by the other party, and even the small warehouse where the "souvenirs" were stored was discovered...

It can be said that the male protagonist and Sura are evenly matched, a pervert meeting a pervert.

Afterwards, Sura began to plan a big game. Giving the room card to the male protagonist, pretending to be dead and missing, killing the wretched man and framing him were all part of her plan, in order to send the male protagonist to prison.

In her expectation, after the matter was accomplished, she could earn another wave of traffic from this series of cases.

However, because the police in charge of the case were too smart, the plot had new twists and turns, and the secret that Sura really wanted to hide was also uncovered...

In general, the film uses voyeurism as a theme to satirize some social phenomena, such as the internet celebrity economy, topic hype, and the safety risks of people living alone, etc., but the most worthy of in-depth study is the male and female protagonists' judgment on the "legitimacy" of their own behavior.

The male protagonist is a typical voyeuristic stalker, but he has repeatedly demonstrated through his inner thoughts that he is a "good person".

He thought that although he broke into other people's homes secretly, he did not do anything bad, and sometimes he would even help people fix water pipes or clean houses. Since he did not hurt others, it was okay to satisfy his hobby.

The heroine not only fabricated a persona to defraud money, but also committed murder.

But she thinks that she is a victim first, because others and society have let her down first, so her behavior can at most be considered as tit-for-tat and fighting violence with violence, which cannot be considered wrong.

To put it bluntly, these two people are using the same logic of "I don't care what you think, I care what I think" to whitewash themselves. At the end of the film, the police said to the male protagonist (it can also be regarded as the female protagonist)“You are not a victim, you are a perpetrator”, which is considered to have increased value besides being exciting.

Although all the characters are villains, the plot of mad dogs biting each other is constantly reversed. As a low-cost suspense film, the completion is still quite good. Friends who like this kind of film can use it to eat with rice~
