Strangely speaking, this film was released in 2018, and the score is not low (7.1), but the number of markers is pitifully small, and only a few hundred people have seen it before. Recently, the film was deserted, and I found that more than 10,000 people had been marked, so I took it out and took a look. The result was unexpectedly good.
The reasons for the low popularity may be: 1. French/Canada co-production, not a typical Hollywood movie, lack of visual stimulation and slow rhythm. 2. Unknown director/actor, lack of topicality. 3. Popular routines such as non-spiritual themes/brain burning/pseudo documentary.
So this is a word-of-mouth film similar to "Nightmare in the Old", suitable for the majority of movie fans, and the word-of-mouth will slowly rise in the next few years.

1. Synopsis: the interweaving of nightmare and reality
What this film is about, my mother took two loli sisters to an old house with horror doll elements, and then was chased by two perverted serial killers. After a blast, the mother killed her pervert, but her sister was dragged to the basement and her sister escaped. This period is only twenty minutes long. The progress bar tells us that this is just the beginning. Sure enough, the camera flashed and my sister woke up from a nightmare. It turned out that this was the shadow of my sister’s childhood. My sister has grown up and turned into a famous horror novel writer. , Wrote this childhood experience into novels, and various interviews. As a result, one day I suddenly received a call from my sister asking her to go back to the old house to rescue herself, so she left her husband and children and drove there.
When I arrived at the old house, my sister had been insane for many years. My mother and sister talked strangely, and weird incidents happened frequently, implying that things were not that simple.
The perverted killer of the year reappeared, and reality and fantasy were in disorder. At this time, my sister told my sister that this was actually your fantasy, you are not a writer, you are still the little girl, we were imprisoned, and my mother was killed. The younger sister was forced to return to reality.
The uncomfortable scene has come. My sister tells her that she is tired of playing and it's your turn. After a while, the pervert will dress you up as a doll. Don't make any noise or you will be beaten. Then there is a pervert playing with dolls. In this section, no pornography is better than pornography, which is a bit of mental pollution.
In the end, the two sisters finally escaped the clutches, but they were arrested again, and the two policemen received the lunch. At the last minute, the uncle of the policeman who supported him appeared, and the bad guys rectified the law on the spot, and the film ended.
This plot makes you think that the most similar is "Nightmare of the Old", especially the point where my sister puts the characters on the posters on the wall into the book.
2. Shooting method: a return to the traditional slasher film
What is slasher film? It is a classic routine of the 1980s and 1990s, such as "Moonlight Panic", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "House of Thousand Corpses", and later "Eye of the Mountain" and "Meng Ghost Street", perverted killers Find a group of young men and women to fix it one by one. It is said that the earliest originator is Hitchcock's "Scary", the bathroom scene is the most classic slash. This routine has been played to the point where it was "Screaming and Screaming" before and "House in the Woods" afterwards, both of which are the structure and ridicule of this genre.
Because of the excessive filming, in the past ten years, this kind of thriller will have some variations. The masterpiece is "Chain Saw", in-depth human nature discussion + precision mechanism + plot reversal. Either there are some new selling points, such as "Hold your breath". But all in all, the slasher film is dead.
This film is a work that goes the other way back to the tradition, not only the return of the scene and the time (such as "Ma Rouben", "American Horror Story" and "Stranger Things"), but also a return of filming techniques (or Speaking of regression), it is relatively new in this age of love for retro.
