From devils to the Nosferatu and other developments
figueroafernando26 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Will someone be able to save the soul of the one whose body was taken away? Possible doubling of a victim of violence, but between the slasher cinema and the touches of gore fantasy with echoes (very distant but present) of Theodor Dreyer or Murnau's expressionism, how the hell do you know? A strange wake due to a strange death and then many, too many paranormal cases: a beggar with a Nosferatu face who has to be stabbed in the hand to make him release the deceased's doctor, an unusual presence that shatters the windows whose splinters of glass decapitate a marble statue to the sound of the Radetzky March, a detective who shaves and his own image almost slits his throat (this reminds me of the curse of the mirrors of Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius by Borges but this time I won't digress... the doctor practiced a type of hypnotism on the victim -we know this from the constant flashback- and that a strange being (very similar to herself) visited her at night before she died and questioned her actions, reproaching her abjection to the husband who died shortly before her Finally, there is a scene completely sui generis but justified when the specter of the deceased stabs her husband in the back when he was sexually abusing the deceased: the spectator is herself and after closing the blood, boom, specter of the deceased lies down with the deceased next to the dead husband, what a sordid necrosexual scene.
