[Introduction movie review: spoilers throughout, read carefully]
The beginning of the film is not slow, but the rhythm is slow, suitable for friends who do not have horror movie watching genes.
Produced by Netflix, it is still worth looking forward to.
The boy ELI seems to have a strange disease, unable to touch everything in the outside world, including air, dust... This is not an allergy, the skin is a visual pain similar to sulfuric acid, and it seems to smell burnt through the screen.
In order to prevent him from being hurt, the boy's mother placed him in a "protective cover", and the whole family never gave up letting the boy live a normal life like other children.
Finally, the whole family drove to the hospital when they learned that there was a hospital that could treat the boy ELI's disease. The boy was fed up with the cynicism of others and hoped that everything would end soon.
On the way to drive, a little highlight in the lens is more like the boy's yearning for the unknown future, his eyes are firm but confused.
During the conversation, the father revealed that he did not like the boy, maybe because he treated the boy and spent all their savings. The boy likes to play magic, and he uses magic to relax his mother.
The way to the hospital, passing the edge of wooden houses, the boy saw a red swing coat girl in looking at him intently.
This house looks depressing, a female doctor with two female nurses (all the staff here are women), the female doctor said: "This whole house is sterile, the boys can breathe freely here. , can take off that strange "space suit"".
The female doctor told the boy that there would be a three-stage viral gene therapy, which has cured many patients with this disease, for which she has experience.
The boy smiled happily when he touched the water in the bath.
On the first night the boy stayed at the castle hospital, he encountered a strange thing. There was a huge mosquito in the fully enclosed castle, and there were traces of someone exhaling on the transparent glass... The boy felt that there should be other patients here and followed him. parents said he had seen, the boy's father comes down to the performance of emotional stress, and her mother also told him a very intimate way, none of this is true, men and children obey the wishes of his mother, ready to enter the first stage of treatment .
That night, on the way to see that red dress girl also came to greet the boy, talk, and waved his hand on the small of ignition playing very little magic 666.
"I wish I was brave"
The first stage of the operation began, and the boy bravely walked into the operating room.
After that girl in red again.
She said she didn't like the boy's name ELI, and after saying a few words that didn't hurt, she said "Goodbye Houdini" and left.
(As for why it is called Houdini? See the end of the article)
the following night
Gui's roommates came one after another, and the various clues left seemed to remind the boy of the secrets in this house . When he told his parents about the strangeness of the house, the parents responded with a red face and a white face, comforting him. Boy's emotions.
But the gui monster really exists. (The screenshot is not easy, the terrifying deformed finger)
At the beginning of the second stage of treatment, the boy walked into the operating room with some doubts, and the parents pretended to be affectionate in front of the boy in the camera, which also made the story a little confusing.
After the end of the second stage, the boy ELI's body became weaker, and the frequent appearance of gui monsters also made the boy ELI firmly believe that "there are other patients in this house" .
The last time the gui monsters dispatched together , dragged the boy ELI to the exit of the hospital, and opened the door of the exit, and several gui monsters wearing the same hospital clothes as him also appeared in front of the boy.
Boy with ELI to find the girl in red to help these gui blame is trying to kill him or want to save him?
Because the girl told the boy ELI that some children have come here, but they have never been seen again after entering the third stage of treatment.
ELI (boy's name)
LIE (gui blame left on the glass)
317 (Clue)
When the clues were connected, the boy found the entrance to the answer, used the password 317 to open the doctor's locked room, opened a door, and saw the female doctor's face with a flashlight. The director's design was really cruel.
After rummaging through boxes, the boy found a group photo of a nun, including the doctor and two nurses here .
After reading several patient files, the boy understood that some children with similar conditions to him had been treated here, but they all died in the third stage of treatment, and the next one was him.
The boy went frantically to find his parents and told them that the doctor was lying, that she could not cure him at all and would kill him soon, but his father's expression was a little "calm", and after his mother was appeased by everyone, He also said the phrase "It's all for your own good" and still told him, it's okay, you'll get better, what you see is not true.
The boy is locked in a mysterious basement and discovers an amazing secret that he can accept the air, and the doctors are preparing to put the boy into the third stage of treatment.
Mom came to the basement, saw the little boy, and told the truth of the whole thing in distress.
It turned out that the boy was the son of the devil, and the mother was afraid that the boy would have the power to destroy the devil when he grew up, so she used such a lie to control the boy until she found the nun and "exchanged blood and attracted the devil" for him.
Gui blame and who should also be sent to parents before the children here for treatment, eventually tragic death, so the gui blame have been reminded boy with LIE, this all a lie. As with the execution ground like a boy, In the end, the power of the devil broke out. The boy's ELI group destroyed the nun doctor and the fake father. Like the birth of a demon, the flames burned wherever they walked, igniting the demon castle. When the boy walked out of the castle, his eyes were firm and cold-blooded.
At the end of the story, there is a foreshadowing:
Let mom drive and go find the demon father together.
Looking back on the film, the director has laid a good foundation for the core theme of exorcism, and it is not easy to find any connection between the film and the devil, or it may be too good, and the final reversal is unpleasant.
As a horror-themed film, "Confinement Boy", although the appearance of gui monsters is relatively soft, but it is still novel, not surprising, and the boy's own calmness is also relatively layered.
The father in the film mentions faith in two stages
"I've always been a man of faith"
"Do you really think prayer will help?" ( seems to be a self-examination for the killer at the end)
There are [several pits] to fill in by yourself:
* Since the boy is set to be the son of the devil, if some suspenseful and evil things are set up, at least the parents in the later stage will kill him, which will be more convincing. In the end, the boy fights back violently, feeling that the devil's nature is forced out by them.
* The boy is not sick, but he can contact the outside world and suffer from self-inflicted pain, and he will recover immediately after being circled. There is no scar .
* Pave the way for four-fifths of the film manufacturing suspense and atmosphere treatment, the outcome is one to one to two sentences to explain, too much grass rate, if this is a video series, it should stay the course, with Zhang Chi.
(At least how did the son of the devil come, we should also talk about it)
* Those G ui blame is who? Just blame the devil father for showing mercy.
* About Before red clothes for the girl what you want to call the boy named Houdini?
Houdini is a Hungarian-American magician and an internationally acclaimed escape artist, capable of unbelievably unscrewing ropes, shackles and handcuffs (Wikipedia).
It seems that the devil's children know a lot.
