The story of the film is not difficult to understand, but it is not easy to explain. People who believe that there are ghosts in this world have a set of explanations; people who do not believe in ghosts can barely tell the story with their conscious, subconscious, and illusion. But no matter what the interpretation is, the touch of "Gubao Horror" is the same. When the child touched the heroine's face and said "This is Laura" at the end of the film, I believe everyone will be moved. This movie is amazing. It makes people scared and at the same time full of courage.
The most outstanding feature of "Lonely Castle" lies in the performance of the actors, the rendering of the environment and the setting off of the music. In the second half of the film, Laura fights alone. A long period of time is her one-man show, and it is not easy for the actor who plays Lara to still show the full emotion of the role in a hysterical state. The little actor who plays Simon, the scene is mainly concentrated in the first half. He looks exactly like the "male version" Shirley Temple, coupled with the clear and innocent eyes, which is really affectionate. The most important scene of the film is the seaside castle, which satisfies the space requirements of a horror film to the greatest extent. The interior design of the castle has been carefully considered, and some of the subtleties, such as door handles, kitchen keys and other small props, have also been carefully considered.
As a thriller movie, "Gu Castle Horror" takes the essence of the suspense film to the extreme. The film always maintains an indescribable sense of mystery from the beginning to the end. With the deepening of the story, the audience has gradually fallen into a state of almost suffocation, and the sense of participation is very strong. The ending of the film is very sad and moving. Coupled with the beautiful shells, upside-down antique chairs and colorful masks in the film, "Castle Fright" can almost be regarded as a "beautiful horror film".
A major feature of the film is the use of games to show the atmosphere of horror. Whether it is "One, Two, Three, Wooden Man" or "Treasure Search for Clues", they are all classic games that accompany our childhood growth. These games have become indispensable links throughout the film and even the main line of the plot. But for these memories that should have been fond of, the director of "Lonely Castle" has completely subverted. The director uses lens language to wrap familiar sceneries in life with a horrible coat. This kind of creativity has appeared in many excellent horror films.
