Another Spielberg, unfortunately he made too few movies!

It's a pity that I saw the title and poster before, but I have never felt it and missed it. I just watched it, and I was shocked by the director's talents, especially his grasp of the mirror and rhythm. There are only a handful of directors who can cleverly integrate these elements together without letting go of any wonderful details! The youth's friendship, ignorant love, family affection and horror, science fiction are naturally made into such a platter, admire! freeking love it! I've seen his "Lost" before, and I have been surprised, but I just think he should make more movies, otherwise it would be a pity!

    How is a children's movie poster made so dark, and the plot is really full of loopholes, such a powerful monster was screamed by a child and left behind...?

    My favorite is the short film that the kid made in the movie after the end credits came out. It's so awesome. This film is suspenseful, but the others are too general, just a typical entertainment film.

  • Joe Lamb: [old home movies of Joe's late mother playing] It's... It's so weird. Watching her like this. Like she's still here. She used to look at me this way, like really look, and I just knew I was there, that I existed.

    Alice Dainard: He drank that morning, My dad. He missed his shift.

    Alice Dainard: Your mom took it for him, the day of the accident,

    Alice Dainard: He... He, um... He... He wishes... I know he wishes it was him instead of her. And sometimes I do, too.
