The male protagonist with locked-in syndrome attempted suicide many times, was paralyzed and was in a severe coma, close to a vegetative state. Weak perception and chaotic brain activity, the ward environment he was in, and the three big and small doctors and cleaners who appeared in his ward every day were compiled into three ghost stories, in a bizarre and terrifying atmosphere. way to express. In fact, it is through these three stories that it reveals its own character weaknesses, as well as various unsolvable problems encountered since childhood. Those problems related to parents, religion, honesty, growth, wife and children, etc., the problems have not been effectively solved. It directly led to his locked-in syndrome, which was getting worse and worse, until he attempted suicide several times, fell into a coma after the attempted suicide, made up stories, recalled, locked in... This cycle never ends. The wonderful thing about the movie, such a ring structure is a point. Reminds me of Horror Cruises and Death Illusion. The difference is that this movie is more suspenseful, explaining a lot of related clues for people to speculate. The echo of the details is very extreme. Third, the film basically only uses the actual light source on the scene, and uses the dislocation of light and shadow and the changes in characters and environment to create an extremely depressing and terrifying atmosphere. The horror part of the three ghost stories can be said to be very deliberate. Three ghost stories, if you look at the whole film, the degree of deliberateness is still acceptable. But the whole story is not so smooth in expression, and there is a strong sense of discomfort. And scenes that are too symbolic and neurotic will inevitably make people feel like they are trying to confuse things. Especially in the last few minutes, the short scenes in the ward are used to explain the whole story too clearly, and two feelings of "it was really a mystery before" and "this kind of story is too ordinary" all of a sudden. The complex and ingenious methods of the film have a bit of a show-off flavor, but the traces are slightly obvious.
