That's how horror movies should be made

4.0. A high-quality classic horror suspenseful family movie. The film reveals the whole world view at the end; you can interpret many things by tasting it carefully. First of all, in the film, everyone who died will become a ghost where they died; including the heroine's husband will eventually return to the battlefield, while they and their servants stay at home. "The living and the dead should live together peacefully"; I think this sentence is the main theme of this movie. In the beginning, the movie was scared by ghosts, but in the end it turned out to be scared by people; at this time, the reversal was unexpected, and it was extremely scary to think about it. This movie can finally have ghosts; as a ghost lover, I am still extremely excited. Ghosts are one of the important images of our traditional Chinese culture; it was unexpected that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television banned ghosts in horror movies. While talking about "promoting Chinese traditional culture", while personally "amputation" of one's own traditional culture; this is extremely absurd, when will it be better?

The film is a story that takes place on a small island in a large western-style villa; it is a typical horror film that combines family, affection, love and other elements.

The movie is basically a one-man show of the heroine; the appearance is really beautiful, and the acting is good enough.

The courageous sister, the cowardly brother; I like these two roles very much, and find them more pleasing.

Because I have watched the movie commentary of this film before, it was spoiled; but I was still immersed in it while watching the movie.

Of course, the ending of the film is still a little bit less shocking to me; it won't be dull after watching it again, it is a really good movie.

Let's talk about it first; in this more than 100 minutes, it is enough to watch the movie carefully and figure out some skills.
