Gradually‚ because horror films became too repetitive and too numerous‚ people got used to watching them and were no longer terrified. Even if horror films do not scare us‚ why do we continue to watch them? The

    style of Acacia is atypical of conventional horror films. This film does not feature many scenes with dark lighting.

There are also few scenes of gore‚ save for dreams of a bloody childbirth process experienced by Do-il. These elements seem to be intentionally kept to a minimum as the film instead generates fear psychologically and emotionally

    The excuses whites used during Reconstruction to torture and murder newly freed African Americans were as false as they were numerous.
