Do you know what is the most terrible? You want to forget something and erase it completely from your memory, but you can't do it, linger, and follow you like a ghost.
The film begins with a psychiatric treatment room. The doctor asks a woman with long hair covering her face about her condition. Then the camera zooms in to a close-up of the woman’s face. A common technique for the reverse structure of the film. Then the two sisters of Qianghua Honglian followed their father to an ancient villa, and they were greeted by a beautiful stepmother. Honglian got off the car and went to taste the bright red flowers and fruits, and then the two sisters ran hand in hand to the river, playing in the river, they seemed intimate, the sisters were deeply affectionate, looking at the pure and seductive beauties, and admiring the beautifully composed pictures , I didn't think much about it (actually, it has entered the trap set by the director), but a shot suddenly appeared, which was a shot from the river water upwards. The angle of view was very weird. It often appeared in horror films and aroused my alertness. I realized that I was watching a horror movie. The plot at the beginning was unremarkable. The sisters were hostile to the stepmother. The stepmother took advantage of her sister’s unpreparedness to bully and torture her sister. However, a series of strange atmospheres bothered the three of them. I privately thought that, like ordinary ghost movies, she was the mother who died and became a ghost. In revenge, why did the mother retaliate against her daughter? I can't figure it out. Until the father said to the hoarse sister: Your sister is dead a long time ago, you must wake up, don't get sick again. I realized that a large part of the previous section had been calculated by the director. In the previous large section, the brotherly sister and the coquettish and hateful stepmother did not exist. They were split from the Qianghua personality. After that, a stepmother in professional attire appeared. The film begins to gradually restore the truth: Huaxin's father found his stepmother and made the sister's mother hang himself in despair. Sister Honglian was overwhelmed by the cupboard when she saw it, and her sister and stepmother tit-for-tat did not hear her sister's call for help, which eventually led to her sister's death. Qianghua was so remorseful that she fantasized that she would split into three people when she returned to the old house alone. The reason why she split into a beautiful stepmother was that she had an illusion of replacing her mother. It might be an Electra plot.
