As well as the films "Land Forsaken" and "Miss Sherlock Holmes: The Gone Marquis" joined by the luxurious star lineup .

day three
The Third Day
After being postponed in May this year, "The Third Day" was finally set to be officially launched on September 14 .
The original production team of the absurd black comedy "Utopia", director Mark Mulden and screenwriter Dennis Kelly , have teamed up again, partnering with "The Crown" and "Three Girls" director Philippa Losop .
The story of "The Third Day" takes place on a mysterious .
Sam (Jude Law), a middle-aged man , accidentally rescued the "suicide" girl in the forest.
At that time, there was a little boy with curly hair beside the girl, she yelled loudly and asked the boy to tie the rope tighter.
Then the girl put her head in the rope loop, jumped forward, and her body was suspended in mid-air.
After Sam saw this scene, he immediately ran up to save people.
The little boy was gone by now, and Sam held up the girl's legs, trying to make her feel better.
Then, struggling to untangle the rope around the girl's neck.
The girl was saved.
For safety's sake, Sam wanted to take the girl to see a doctor first, and then call the police.
Strangely, the girl refused again and again.
The girl 's name is Epona .
It seemed that she didn't want others to know about her "suicide" , and said "he will kill me" .
But no matter how much Sam asked, Epona would never say who he was.
Sam is worried and decides to escort Epona home so she doesn't get killed again.
On the way, Sam tried to communicate with Epona again. He first talked about his past.
Epona did not resist, and spoke to him.
Upon seeing this, Sam continued to return to the topic of "suicide" just now , but this time Epona immediately raised her guard.
The car drove for a long time, and Sam drove all the way to the beach according to the route pointed out by Epona.
Until you reach the end of the road, and go further, you will find the sea.
Epona lives on the opposite side, on a small island called Ou Xi Island .
This is an isolated island, and there is only one causeway in and out of the island. When the sea ebbs, the causeway will emerge from the water so that people can enter and leave.
If you miss the low tide, you can only wait for the next time.
Looking at the ebb tide of the sea and Epona in front of him, Sam had mixed feelings.
He originally had a very important matter to deal with today, but because he accidentally bumped into Epona, he had to put that matter down temporarily.
He kept calling someone , but no one answered the phone.
It turned out that Sam's office had been burglarized and the £40,000 he had kept in the office disappeared. That money was very important to him.
He left a message to the other party, hoping to reply to him as soon as possible.
Time passed by and the sea finally receded.
This small island gave Sam a strange feeling , and he felt that everything in front of him felt inexplicably familiar .
Epona asks if Sam has been here before, and Sam quickly denies it.
Then he added that my grandfather had been stationed here during the war.
I haven't been here, but I know that my grandfather was stationed here.
Sam couldn't figure it out himself.
But fortunately, Epona didn't continue to ask, she urged Sam, the causeway will disappear at 3:50 this afternoon , if you don't leave the island on time, you will have to wait until tomorrow.
Sam didn't think any more and continued to drive forward.
On the way, they bumped into the residents of the island rehearsing for the festival. This year's festival is different from the past. This is the first time they are open to people from outside the island.
One of the islanders who played "Saroja" suddenly changed his face when he saw Sam's arrival.
He froze in place, seemingly surprised by Sam's presence.
At the destination, Epona urged Sam again, it was time to leave .
Still worried, Sam insists on taking Epona home and explaining it to her parents.
Epona had to take Sam to find the Martin couple in the bar. Unexpectedly, after the Martin couple heard about Epona's deeds, they just took her away, and deliberately asked her repeatedly in front of Sam, "You are playing games, right? " .
Then he turned his head and told Sam "It's okay, what would you like to eat?" .
It's even more strange for Sam to see the Martins' nonchalant attitude.
In fact, since he went to the island, this strange feeling has become stronger and stronger.
Whether it's the island's inhabitants, strange buildings and Epona's "suicide".
What is the hidden secret of this island, things become more and more complicated.
At this point, Sam remembered his unfinished business again, and he picked up his phone to call again.
No signal, no signal on the whole island.
He asked the Martin couple anxiously, but the other party told him that it was too unfortunate, we were doing signal maintenance this week, and there was no signal on the whole island.
It seems that Sam is temporarily unable to contact that person.
The Martin couple warmly invited Sam to stay overnight for the night party.
Sam thought about his unfinished business and refused.
But just as Sam was about to leave the island, accidents occurred frequently , as if preventing him from leaving.
First, his car was blocked by a pickup truck and missed the low tide.
Then came the little boy in the forest who suddenly appeared. He followed the little boy all the way, but the little boy ran faster and faster, and then disappeared.
Now he is destined to be unable to leave today.
After returning to the bar, the Martins were not in the bar, and Sam Dia walked into the Martins and said that room 1 was reserved for him.
However, a female guest suddenly appeared in Room 1 and claimed that she had already paid.
Looking at the empty bar, there are only two strange outsiders left.
Sam is helpless, what happened today is so strange.
He stared at Sam until a malicious islander showed up.
"It's you, right?"
At this moment, the disappearing Martin couple finally appeared, interrupting the islanders' words.
The Martins brought everyone together to drink, chat, and sing, and no one mentioned the past.
At night, Sam looked at his drunken self in the mirror, and seemed to be back on the field just now.
He saw the little boy again. He followed the little boy for a long time and came to the abandoned lighthouse.
A terrifying scene appeared. The previous little boy became the executioner, and the dark secret room was littered with corpses.
And Sam's hands were covered in blood at some point ...
Suddenly, Sam wakes up from this terrible nightmare. In a trance, he walked to the trunk of the car, took out the cash, and walked forward.
End of day one...
"The Third Day" is HBO's first suspense film about psychological thrillers . Although only one episode is currently being broadcast, the pace is slightly slower, but it leaves countless suspense to the audience .
The Bible-New Testament records that Jesus was crucified on the cross and resurrected on the third day, hence the name Easter.
On the first day, the director arranged for an experience where illusion and reality are intertwined.
The memories and associations of the characters are superimposed on the scenes, feelings and emotions to display, which is full of horror.
Strange religious customs, islanders with an inverted cross (symbol of Satanism)
On the island with strict population control, there will always be only 93 fixed islanders , and then think of the seven children of Martin and Epona's suicide.
Everything seems to be in line with the restarted priestly celebration ...
That's why Epona "reminds" Sam to leave again and again .
And on the way back to the bar, I saw the rabbit that was dissected out of its internal organs. Maybe it's a rehearsal "hunt".
All these dark and bright graphic conflicts and the overall eerie atmosphere mixed with the fantasy generated in the protagonist Sam's mind, allowing him to blur the boundaries between virtual and reality.
For example, Adai, who he has been trying to contact, doesn't know what other people look like;
The "news" in Martin's words, and Sam's putting the kid's T-shirt into the river at the beginning of the first season, both heralded the loss of his son.
And is this potentially related to the robbery in Sam's mouth?
Sam is inspired by the trauma of the past by the weird islanders, and whether the robbery really happened, or whether Sam directed and acted, staged a split personality.
To cover up the truth? Or for revenge?
At the end of the first episode, Sam digs out a lot of cash in the trunk of the car, and maybe the answer has been revealed.
How will the director dug so many holes?
The story of "The Third Day" officially kicked off.
