The plot is probably that the boy’s parents went out for Christmas for Happy, and invited the boy’s long-loved nanny girl, and then a series of accidents happened. At the beginning, there was a happy family scene between the two, and then it seemed that a stranger broke into the house, thinking it would be. It’s like the two wits fighting robbers in House Alone, but I didn’t expect a new story. It turned out to be a child’s mental paranoia. He was obsessed with the babysitter and kidnapped her. Then he had a happy prank trip and played at home. Starting a truth or dare game, I want to say that I thought it was a prank that might end in a hurry, but suddenly there was a reversal. I didn’t expect that the confession would not turn into a murderous little devil, and then he kept tricking people into the house and started killing. Although the heroine and the evil male protagonist coped with the advances and retreats to reach suspense, in the end, the male protagonist killed everyone, and then sorted out the scene. Although he thought it was perfect, it seemed that there was a sequel in the end.

On the whole, the script is a bit creative, and the reversal of the plot is also good. Under the boy’s angel-like smile, making such a perverted behavior is very conflicting. I obviously think that the boy is not terrible, but I did not expect it to be done. This kind of thing is simply the grievance of the Zhengtai version of orphans!

Although it may be driven by the plot, it feels blind, but it is a thriller and horror film with a Christmas scene. It’s a bit similar to a previous movie, starring Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone, The Good Son, the dangerous little angel,
