      horror hides

      I watched such a psychological suspense horror thriller without taking classes and locking myself in the dormitory. Except for a lamp, the bedroom is black. . . Alone, still cold. Enough atmosphere has been created. result. . .
      No comments on the ending, just watched the first version of the ending. Didn't guess who Charlie was, but the answer was surprisingly absurd, or cruel. I can't accept the film whose father is a villain. I always feel that my father should be a very worthy image in...

      The real horror is people, not ghosts

      At the beginning of the movie, the foreshadowing was laid. The daughter's mother died in the bathtub. Is it suicide? The daughter's blurred and hateful eyes mistakenly made everyone think that she is the protagonist of the weird story because of her mother. Suddenly Charlie appeared. This is the "consciousness" friend of the daughter the dad has been looking for. After Elizabeth was pushed out of the window and died, she finally showed up. It was none other than this father who claimed to be a...

      Say three questions

      The first point is that not long after the parents moved in, Emily took the doll to the mountains one morning. When she came back, the doll was gone. After her father asked, she left with Emily, and she gave a shot of Emily's feet. , the shoes are already wet. If it is said that both father and Emily entered the cave at the end, and there is water in the cave, so the wet shoes symbolize that Emily has entered the cave, which can be explained, but what is the meaning?

      The second point...

      Emily is not a dual personality

      Many people see different endings, so Emily has a dual personality.
      In fact, I think the director has cut so many endings to be redundant.
      As far as I can see, the ending is in the hospital ward. Amy asked to stay at the door, and Catherine disagreed , close the door and go out, end
      as far as I can see, this is the most perfect ending.
      I don't have many reasons. Just one is enough.
      Emily has always asked to stay at the door. It is a common problem for children, and...

      I would like to give 3 and a half stars. It seems that once a person has a mental problem, no matter how normal he used to be, it is very scary when he is sick. What's more terrifying is that even he himself doesn't...

      I remember watching this movie from the amazing Dou column at the end. Read the comments that there are 5 versions of the ending. . . My ending shows that girls also have dual personalities. . Feeling a little boring. Really...

      At first I thought it was Fanning's split personality, but it turned out to be Dad. . . . The ending of watching is to draw emily with two heads at home, I feel that counting in the hospital is more...

    Evaluation action

    The cast of young and old in the film brings new ideas to the whole film. In this virgin thriller, director John Poulsen used a slow and steady fear to bring the audience a fright and fear from the bottom of their hearts. The film is immersed in a chilling atmosphere from beginning to end. The director did not use popular special effects to render the horror atmosphere in the film, but used a lot of rhythmic and varied music,...
