The reason for the three stars is that the character settings are rather strange. It may be the reason for serving the plot. In short, it affects the viewing experience. I will talk about it later. The plot did not say, in the horror supernatural movie, it is a horror suspense film with a clear plot and can stand scrutiny (horror is really not scary), and it is a surreal supernatural movie. First of all, the movie begins with the heroine's childhood, she She spent a short part of her childhood in the orphanage with five other children, but after a phone call, she learned that the heroine was about to be adopted by others and left the orphanage (judging from the fact that she did not experience the Thomas incident, in this When she was separated from the group of six) After more than 30 years, the heroine adopted Simon who was suffering from AIDS (reported to be HIV-positive, forgive me for not knowing medical knowledge, so I assumed it was AIDS for the time being) and moved to her again. When she was a child, the orphanage formed an adoptive family, but the nightmare began after she moved in. Simon is a cute but AIDS and brain-deficient child (supporting the idea that old women who are dying can be psychic, so Simon who is dying at all times has the ability to channel), but even if it is not his own Child, the heroine still loves Simon. But as Simon said that he saw those invisible children, and the heroine began to feel it, the family began to churn, until Simon disappeared at the party, the heroine completely collapsed, and the story had another story before that. Doubtful point: The old woman who claimed to be a former social worker of the orphanage suddenly appeared in the warehouse in the early morning (before the party), but unfortunately she was hit by a car after encountering the old woman. The heroine, who could not get any help from the outside world, could only choose to invite a psychic team. After many setbacks, her husband finally couldn't bear it any longer, thinking that the heroine was almost crazy about finding a child, so he left her. In the end, the heroine had no choice but to play games with these ghost children according to the last advice given to her by the psychic, and actually found a lot of things along the clues (I had already found out through a little clue that the old social worker was murdered. Murderer of five of her childhood playmates), eventually psyched out while playing childhood games (123 Wooden Man), and was guided by one of the ghost children to discover the basement, when she saw what looked like a masked After the wreckage of Thomas, she recalled all the details of her past, and felt that this was her own Simon... Unfastening the mask, it was indeed the person she least wanted to see. (Interlude explanation): Because the heroine left the six-member group of the orphanage early, she did not see Thomas who moved in later, nor did she see Thomas' mother, the old woman social worker (confirmed in the dialogue), because the remaining The five people accidentally killed Thomas in an accidental play, which made Thomas' mother feel extremely revengeful, so she killed all five children (the children also said that they were tortured during the channeling, which shows that the death miserable), while the adopted heroine escaped. Regarding Simon's death, it was indeed the heroine who accidentally killed him. Simon may have found out that he was not his parents, so he began to feel revenge on his mother, so he dressed up as Thomas and used the willfulness of a child. Mentality locked mom in the bathroom and hurt mom, maybe he felt he did something wrong or hid in Thomas' room (i.e. basement), where the souls of dead children often played, but he The parents knew nothing. So when I was looking for Simon, I accidentally blocked the door of the basement, and Simon accidentally fell from the stairs that night because he wanted to go out but couldn't do anything (how introverted you are, kid, Although I'm not my biological parents, it's alright to call my parents for help in order to survive.) After the interlude, go back to the main topic. The heroine has understood everything at this moment. She killed her beloved Simon with her own hands. The heroine with self-blame and love chose to take medicine and commit suicide in order to meet Simon (death is the most direct long-term channeling method, Temporary psychic beyond the dying), and finally, I believe everyone is deeply impressed by this scene, the heroine joined Simon and the children and guarded them forever, and the children also recognized this as their childhood playmate - Laura, and accepted her to join, Laura's life began a chapter of the soul beyond the body. First of all, I want to say that maternal love is great. But the father actually chose not to believe the mother, which was actually a little unreasonable. The father also heard that there was indeed a supernatural phenomenon, so there would definitely be no problem of incomprehension. The biggest character failure I think is Simon, he shouldn't have such a strong sense of revenge, and he didn't speak from pretending to be Thomas until he fell to his death, which is completely different from his attitude of wanting to live, and why should he wear it strangely Thomas' mask did not shout when he was locked up, but chose to remain silent. This is not the nature and reaction of a child of several years even with physical and psychological problems. It can be far-fetched to understand that this is purely for the plot. (As long as Simon makes a sound during this process, the movie will not be able to develop.) Then, the old social worker is also a person with a strong revenge mentality. Because of an accident, all five children related to this accident were tortured to death. Certainly dismembered (as can be seen from the broken bones of the stumps in the lime belt ), and afterward, she was able to have such a stable conscience and even went to check whether the body was found. Of course, the director of such a ruthless villain would have to arrange the worst end for her, and she would be hit by a car if she stood still (the driver There must be no eyes), and the filming after Simon's death was not handled well (Simon was handled like a smiling baby, I don't know what the director's meaning is, it was deliberately embarrassing the audience and making the atmosphere more mysterious , but I hope to deal with the scene where Simon stands up and speaks a few words to his psychic mother, so that Simon's mental state can have a reasonable explanation. There is no proper explanation for Simon's heart in the whole article, then we only Can you think that Simon is just an ordinary, willful and timid child), how did you slowly find the clues about the objects of those children? The movie does not seem to have a direct explanation, and it has no logical reasoning. Before the end of the shortest ten minutes, the audience is in a lengthy ignorance, which is actually a very uncomfortable thing, including the initial debris blocking the door , at least a close-up shot and stay for a long time and then add a special soundtrack will be more able to attract the attention of the audience. On the whole, the plot is coherent, but the details are slightly lacking, and the ending is handled very cleverly, which sublimates the theme of the movie, so that even if the horror elements are added with touching elements to the end, there is no sense of incongruity at all, but touches the heartstrings of the audience. . Overall, it's one of the best in horror movies.
