The plot of the film can be roughly summarized as follows: The heroine (Mia Wasiwoska, who has watched the Alice series should be familiar with her), who has had yin and yang eyes since she was a child, was haunted by her mother's ghost when she was a child. Warned to stay away from the Crimson Peak, as an adult, she meets Thomas Chapin (played by Higgins), a down-to-earth aristocrat and inventor who travels around to promote his products, although her father hates this man who is full of bad water at first sight. A gentle and handsome man, and the handsome man's cold and beautiful sister (played by a model worker) has a rather cold attitude, but the protagonist is hopelessly in love with him. In the end, the old man who was in the way was murdered, and the heroine decided to cross the ocean and stay with her lover. I thought that I would be able to play a romantic drama of a lover's ambition from now on. Who knew that after living in the old house of Xia Bin's house, the heroine began to hit ghosts one after another. After being frightened, the heroine finally saw through it under the guidance of the ghost The true face of the sister and brother's murder of money and the incestuous love that has grown over the years. In the end, relying on the sudden reversal of the water and the manifestation at the critical moment, the heroine smashed Leng Yan's sister's head with a shovel in the blizzard. In the last scene, the heroine slowly walks away with the doctor who came to rescue her but was injured instead. At this time, the camera is given a long view, and the snowflakes flying over the scarlet mountain are falling like a curtain. In addition to the less scrutinized story, the pacing of the film is also very strange, the first three quarters have been playing tricks and trying to create a strange atmosphere, and the end is tense and crazy. Ahem, so who is this movie suitable for? - Yan control. The three leading actors are beautiful and have their own characteristics. With the support of the costumes and tone of the film, they can be said to be amazing. - Audiences who pursue visual effects. The art of the clothing scene is extremely gorgeous, and any frame can be used as a wallpaper. - Secondary disease. A gloomy old house with the ground as red as blood, a pair of femme fatale sisters and brothers (yes, I wrote that right), the bloody sections that cut each other with knives at every turn, and the terrifying but never hurt The ghosts of people, the old-fashioned paper flavor created by the lead-yellow tone, satisfy all your fantasies, and the top even released a set of 160-page thick setting collections while filming. On the other hand, this movie would be a bad movie in some sense because of the following factors: - The lack of logic in the behavior of the characters. The heroine has always regarded Mary Shelley as an idol (the interesting thing is that the classic image of Frankenstein in the later Gothic works came from her pen, which is also a kind of joke), A self-proclaimed independent woman in the new era, she fell into the hands of Mr. Xia Bin immediately after a flirt at the dance, and convincingly planned to use all his wealth to fund his seemingly unreliable new invention, although any sexual orientation was male It's unlikely that a girl will be able to withstand such an attack, but it makes the previous episode about how the heroine struggles with gender stereotypes seems like a bad joke, not to mention that in the film she is either fascinated or obsessed. Scared to the core, the brave and intelligent image that Top is trying to create seems quite untenable. Going back to Mr. Xia Bin, he used color as bait to kill so many little girls, and as a result, he threw all the money he had cheated on to his own invention, so that the sister and brother had to use a small spoon to make tea. That's all, I didn't take much of the blood debt I owed before, but when I got to the heroine's place, I suddenly found out with conscience, and I didn't hesitate to rub my ears and temples with each other (yes, I still wrote it correctly) for so many years. Stop reminding yourself not to forget your old love. The heroine originally vomited three liters of blood because she drank poisonous tea, and it seemed that she was about to die, but she could play cat-and-mouse game with sister Leng Yan, and finally used the reason of "there is someone behind you" to scare the other party and successfully counter-killed, so There is nothing to describe the plot except Mary Sue. ——The story is old-fashioned and lacks suspense. Old-timer Lovecraft is famous for depicting strange powers that make readers’ SAN values ​​plummet. Old-timer Edgar Allan Poe loves black cats and crows. When it comes to spinning tops, whether it’s out of Gothic tradition or whatever, he insists on doing it like this. A thrilling story that is already full of paradigmatic colors (a trio of heroine fooled-trapped-out of danger, the plot direction can be guessed from the beginning) with some ghostly elements, borrowed from the heroine Zhikou kept emphasizing that "ghosts are real". But in my opinion, it doesn't combine well with the plot itself. It takes up a lot of film length and also compresses the raindrops of the narrative, making a man with "desperate and unacceptable love" and "gothic adventure" "The poignant story with a binary theme is a mediocre thriller, and the characters are regrettably thin. When I read it, I wondered how good it would be if the time of creating the haunted plot was used to portray the struggle of Xia Bin and his brother. . Yes - the struggles of the Xia Bin siblings. There will always be a few heterosexual feelings of marginalized people in the top movies, which is one of the reasons for the great success of the top "The Shape of Water", but as long as there is a slight difference, the audience who are full of appetite will give it to them one after another. One star bad review, even if the aforementioned problems are not really that deadly. For me waiting for the popcorn audience, give up nitpicking, even stop thinking at the right time, and read the words of love for Dousen, model worker
