I watched the Spanish horror movie Infiesto (Chinese translation is “The Mystery of the Dangerous City”) on Netflix. What attracted me was the background of the new crown virus in the early stage of the European pandemic. The hero and heroine are both professional police officers. A girl was kidnapped in the city. Moreover, the perpetrator is suspected to be a serial killer. Many women may have been killed, but the government ordered the city to be closed. The two still have to investigate the case and rescue people at the critical moment of life and death. This is really a police story with the characteristics of the times.
The atmosphere of this movie is very dark. In addition to fighting wits with the murderers hiding in the dark, the hero and heroine also have to face the impact of the epidemic of the century. In addition, the inside story of the case is quite complicated. In addition to the serial killer, there are descriptions of sadism and cult organizations. It is anticlimactic, but it has strong stamina, and the layout is unexpected when it is revealed. The plot is really tortuous and bizarre.
The weakness of the movie is that the investigation process is not careful enough. Sometimes when two people go to a certain place and casually ask people for information regarding the person involved in the case, they always accept each other’s words without hesitation (without considering the strangers in front of them. may be the murderer), I don’t know if the Europeans are really so honest, or the screenwriter’s arrangement is too naive. In addition, the impact of the epidemic was not fully utilized, and the hero and heroine insisted not to wear masks following the city was closed, which really violated the anti-epidemic atmosphere at the time and wasted this unique theme that might be played.
