There's no you without me - Don't let the darkness swallow you up

Before watching The Conjuring 2, I was fascinated by the Lights out trailer.
In the trailer, the eldest sister saw a figure in the shadow of the warehouse.
Turn on the lights, and the figure is gone.
Turn off the lights, she's still there.
Turn on the light and disappear again.
Turn off the lights and she's right in front of you.
A great childhood shadow theme.
After watching the trailer, when I watched The Conjuring 2, I was always concerned about the dark places that
were not illuminated by the lights, whether there was a woman squatting there,
with her head down on the ground and engraving her name with her fingernails.

It was released a day earlier than North America. It's good to watch horror movies in the cinema.
More refreshing in winter.
The storyline is not complicated.
The characters include a newly widowed mother Sophie, a too sensible little boy Martin, a beautiful girl Rebecca and her prospective male ticket Brad, and of
course a female ghost Diana.
Before she became a female ghost, the female ghost and the mother met in a mental hospital.
The female ghost has severe skin disease and mania, and her mother is depressed. They are good friends.
Later, the female ghost's neurosis got out of hand and she died after a "treatment".
Later, her mother's depression was cured and she was discharged from the hospital to start a new life.
The fact is that the female ghost is not dead, she is parasitic in her mother's mind, eating away at her sanity, trying to drag her into the darkness.
So the mother's first husband (Rebecca's father) ran away and the second husband (Martin's father) died.

Like all horror movies, the female ghost scares all the human characters.
Later, she got excited and bullied other people's children.
The result was done.
The plot is complete, everything is there. This wave is fine.

Easter eggs that friends who watch the short film will find: There is a female ghost doll in the mannequin warehouse office at the beginning.




Go home and sleep in bed at night.
It seemed to hear the sound of the female ghost scraping the wall with her fingernails.
Scraped for a full two hours.
Scared to pee.
Should it be submitted to Tuao Tucao Jun?
