Cultural differences lead to incomprehension

I was wrong, I thought it was a comedy, and I was scared again~~~ But the plot is very compact and dizzying, but due to cultural differences (actually we don’t know the Halloween traditions enough), I don’t quite understand and a little bit The feeling of inconsistency didn't come to my mind until I read the film reviews. The director is really pious. There are so many hidden lines running through it, and there will be more discoveries when I read it again. Remember, "Pumpkin lantern, protect you from going home!"
