My love for horror movies comes from the movie called "The Shining".
Before, my family had always protected me from all horrible movies. It is said that when I was very young, the cultural palace near my home staged a "Painted Skin" that scared people to death.
Moreover, when I was a child, I was extremely courageous. Even when I watched the scene of Communists being tortured by the Kuomintang in prison, I would have nightmares again and again at night.
However, my parents didn't pay attention and let me see "The Shining". Since then, on the road to find a good-looking horror film, it has been out of control.
Even fell in love with Stephen King's novels by the way.
I still remember how my father was furious at me when he found out that I was watching a horror movie.
He thinks that a little girl like me with a gentle and sweet appearance actually likes watching bloody movies is an external manifestation of psychological distortion.
He turned the worry that I would grow into a perverted fear into raging anger.
Maybe my father’s worries are not unreasonable.
Perhaps, in the depths of my heart, the darkest place is also hidden in the evil spirits. It is not necessarily because of the wrath of my father that made it escape from me.
But when I became an adult, when I had more freedom of choice, I still inevitably fell into the pit of horror movies.
I have come into contact with Japan’s "Midnight Bell" and "The Grudge" series, etc.
I also like horror movies in Korea and Thailand.
Compared to naked visual horror, I am more obsessed with psychological thrillers like The Shining.
For example, as soon as the trailer for the American TV series "The Strange Maid" came out, I knew that this series was definitely my dish!
The creation of that kind of horror atmosphere is not exquisite, and every detail is so charming.
Including the heavy rain at the beginning of the first episode, the silhouette of a ghost in the taxi, and the sound of a rusty swing from the yard, accompanied by the sound of rain. And the weird background music all imply that this innocent and simple 18-year-old maid is unusual.
Even the ringing of the door bell is reminiscent of a prelude to sad music...
This is a typical middle-class family. The heroine falls into a mental breakdown because of the loss of her beloved son. The alternative way to save her is a simulation doll, which a psychologist without a business license calls: a rebirth doll.
I have seen related reports about artificial dolls, it is really vivid, no matter the hand feeling or appearance is no different from the real child.
Some can even drink milk from a bottle, and the milk that is drunk can really be discharged with urination.
I once imagined having a doll like this, holding her to bed every day, holding her on and off the subway, others might give us their seats.
I also imagined that I would quit my current job, learn how to be a qualified baby nurse, and then go to various families. It not only satisfied my love for children, but also satisfied my observation of the world. Attitude of curiosity.
Well, let's go back to the plot.
The simulation doll really allowed the heroine to gradually return to normal and began to work. But the premise is to hire a babysitter to take care of the children.
So, the eighteen-year-old maid appeared.
On a rainy night.
That night, outside the door of the half-covered bedroom, a passing man inadvertently found a maid in pajamas kneeling beside the bed doing a prayer.
Under the wide pajamas, the exquisite figure constitutes a vague temptation.
I don't know if the hero was tempted at that moment, but I saw that he put the bottle in his hand at the door and left quietly.
The weird thing is that the female host is forgiven for the hallucinations of the doll. After all, she is the mother of the dead baby, but the maid is different.
In fact, she went to the baby room to see the doll the first time she arrived at the house, but the expression on her face at that time was as natural as seeing a real baby.
This makes people feel creepy.
Moreover, even though the male protagonist revealed the truth to the maid after the mistress went to work, the maid did not agree at all. She did not pretend to cooperate with the mistress for the 900 yuan a month and free board and lodging. She is the same as the mistress. , From the very beginning, he treated this doll as a real child.
We can still understand the illusion of the hostess, so why the maid would be like this makes us puzzled.
Except for this, the eighteen-year-old maid is no different from other maids.
Like every eighteen-year-old girl, she would sneak up to the dressing table while her master was out, and try on her master's jewelry. They will also pretend to be in front of the mirror and perform the sorrowful grievances: Don’t do this! There is a style that does not belong to this age in the eyes...
She obviously has a bathroom in her room, but she wants to take a bath in the bathtub in the master bedroom.
At this time, she gave people the feeling that she coveted the position of the heroine and wanted to replace it.
But hasn't every young maid thought about it this way? Most of them are just thinking about it.
The male protagonist’s job is to make all kinds of recipes at home. I think his job is perfect in horror movies.
Think about it, you don’t know what meat you eat!
You say this maid wants to replace the hostess, she has more opportunities to seduce the male host who gets along day and night. But she was always quite satisfactory in front of the male protagonist, and her expression was relatively dull. Anyway, in the first episode, I did not see that she had the slightest intention to seduce the male protagonist, except for the bedroom door that was ajar that night.
Instead, she devoted more attention to the doll.
She is a good nanny who does her duty!
Regardless of whether it was in front of or behind, he did his best to take care of the fake child.
In the first two thirds of the first episode, the male protagonist behaves normally. It is even fortunate that it is normal to have one person in this house.
But towards the end, when the male protagonist saw the scarecrow hung in the place where the baby room replaced the wind chimes, combined with seeing the nanny kneeling and praying, he expressed concern to the female protagonist. He doesn't trust any kind of religion. He hates religious fanatics. He believes that belief is not so much to save the world as to satisfy some people's evil desires. It's like those crazy people who are crazy.
In the eyes of a male protagonist, there is no difference between a believer and a mental patient.
Until he heard the baby's cry from the baby monitor, and he rushed into the baby room to see that there was really a living child in the crib writhing and crying.
Something in my heart suddenly fell from the ceiling of the illusion and hit the top of my head heavily...
