I'm not good at watching thrillers, so this is an attempt.
When I was in college, I wrapped myself in a quilt and turned off the lights and locked the door with my classmates, and watched the movie in horror. We were scared to death a few times when someone tried to come in.
But it's not scary to watch this movie again after a few years, but the advantage is that the plot is compact enough to keep pulling you forward. You can't help but slip away.
The whole movie starts with a girl's fantasy. The classic thing about this movie is that it's not easy to guess that it started as a fantasy if you haven't seen the review.
The movie was released in 2003. At that time, Wen Geunying and Lin Xiujing were still children, and a few years later, they were both flourishing. In fact, when I first watched the movie, I was very impressed by Lian Jingya, who played the stepmother. The film begins with the sisters arriving at a house in the suburbs. The stepmother was dressed festively, which was out of tune with the dark green tone of the house. And the pair of bright red lips, the flattering in the words. All just right.
The soundtrack of the film is also a highlight. Although it is a thriller, the music flowing in the warm place makes you suddenly forget the movie, and only feel that life is beautiful. The music is suffocating while the camera shakes in the gloomy room.
I like the hands that the two sisters have been holding tightly all the time. The younger sister will always follow so obediently, and the elder sister will always show meek and firm eyes. Ripples arose in my heart.
Later, I kept thinking, what kind of deep love can make my sister so fantasy? Because of deep love, I don't feel like I'm fantasizing, but I've experienced scenes of reality.
Well, I still don't like horror movies. Just thinking of those days when everyone watched horror movies together and were still scared to death, I suddenly felt very beautiful...

    It's really hard to understand that a mother in a horror movie that hates pure female ghosts, disgusting violence, commits suicide in her daughter's room. . .
