Let me sort out the timeline of this movie so that I can organize my thoughts better.
The earliest story happened to a mother who lost her child. After the child died, she couldn't let go of it for a long time, until a man (Simon) came to her and claimed to have psychic powers.
After the mother took a skeptical attitude and asked Simon to show his "seance", she was shaken by one of the messages suspected of her child. The later development is that the mother believed Simon through various 'evidences' and tried to lobby a group of investors. It is hoped that this will raise funds and use scientific means to study the world after death.
But one night, in the face of a drunk Simon, while breaking his cheating, he learned that everything was just a hoax. Simon learned that all the information about her son came from her ex-husband. Simon and his ex-husband belonged to the same AA, and then Simon used some fraudulent means to defraud more money.
But he did not expect that he could fool the living, but not the dead. So, he really opened a channel and let his friends in the spiritual world paint on him, the stories of the dead, and use his body to write stories about death one after another.
This is the beginning of everything, the blood book, and after this night, the community where my mother lives has become a dead city.
And then the story of the killer, a bookstore owner who owes money to the gang? , In the face of the killer's pursuit, when he begged for mercy, he told the killer the news of the blood book that he thought was worth millions. After the killer found out, he resolved him decisively, and planned to take the book before selling it and pocketing the huge sum of money.
The killer and his partner drove to the dead city overnight, and when they were about to reach their destination, the car died. The partner actually saw his dead mother, and suddenly committed suicide.
The killer continued to look for the blood book, and then he found the mother in the previous story and tried to steal the blood book from the other party. Suddenly he was besieged by a bunch of mice, and in the hallucination, he thought the mice climbed up on him and stabbed the mice a few times.
Of course, he actually stabbed himself. Under the pain, he woke up and went out to seek help. Who knew that one step into another hell, he ran into the deadly homestay in the third story, and ended his life.
In the end, this is the worst story of the film. At the beginning, you see a girl who is very sensitive to the sound of others eating. She secretly runs away from home when she hears that her mother wants to send her to a mental hospital again.
Because she saw a man suspected of following her on the travel bus, she got off the bus early and was in a completely unfamiliar town. I found a homestay, except that there seem to be a lot of cockroaches, there is no bad homestay. Before going to bed, another young guest also invited her to have coffee tomorrow.
In the blurred sleep at night, she had a nightmare, dreaming that the old lady and the old man in the homestay used a ruler to measure her height in front of her bed, and heard the other party say that she should take a different medicine. Maybe it was because of her poor mental state that she often had nightmares. Maybe it was because of the words from her mother who asked her to change her medicine. She thought it was just a nightmare.
The next day, when she was drinking coffee, she saw the man who followed her before. She was not sure if it was her hallucination or if someone was following her. She just fled back to the homestay in panic. With some comfort from the old lady, she tried to tell that some terrible things had happened to her when she was in college.
At night, when she was alone in the room, she heard a strange sound coming from the room. Out of curiosity, she leaned against the wall and searched for the source of the sound everywhere. Finally, she discovered the secret of the room. Under the wall, there were people alive like mummified corpses.
(I have to complain, I really don’t understand here, why didn’t she just call the police by herself, but let another resident call the police? She already had her mobile phone and sent a message of wool? Then try knocking the old lady unconscious It's reasonable, but why not pick up the phone, find a room where you can lock the door or hide, call the police and wait for rescue. Instead, you have to run around in other people's houses?
Don't people know their own house better than you? How could it be possible to escape? )
Then she was caught, and the old lady said what she did, gouging out the eyes of the 'children', shutting them between the walls, under the floor, using infusions for many years, and keeping the other party alive at a minimum . She thinks this is her garden, in this way with her 'family'.
Later, the girl was rescued. The police thought she was the man who was stalking her. He was the boyfriend of the girl when he was in college. He committed suicide. His father felt his son's depression and made a girlfriend. After that, it should get better. So after his son committed suicide, he always wanted to talk to the girl, and he hoped to know what caused his son to commit suicide.
The police thought that the girl was drugged by her father, and after losing her mobility, they drove to the cliff together in a car, taking suicidal revenge.
And the fact is that the suicide of boys is brainwashed by girls, saying that only suicide can express their dissatisfaction to others, and suicide is also their right to choose. At the same time coaxing the boy that she and the other end committed suicide with him, the boy just died.
I don't know if this part is the girl's twisted mind or if she doesn't think the boy really has the courage to kill himself. The fact is that the boy really died under her coaxing and brainwashing, and she did not dare to admit it, and she has been facing everyone as a victim since then.
So far, I feel that what happened to her before, such as oversensitivity to sound, hallucinations, nightmares, etc., are all the bitter fruits she should suffer. Later, after she was willing to review her mistakes, she did not surrender to the police. Instead, she approached the homestay couple and asked them to take her eyes and ears and hide on the floor of the room, as if they could escape her. crime.
I don't know which is more terrifying than hallucinations or being alive in this form. But if she chose this way to escape, she would never be able to become a normal person again, and the eyes that had been removed could never be put back.
After experiencing such a form of living, her spirit will only collapse to the other extreme, and this change is irreversible. But if she turns herself in, she'll get therapy, face her mistakes, repent, and one day she'll be back to normal.
The timeline of this movie is interspersed, and the order I arrange is not only a timeline, but also a display of deeper and deeper sins. If the crime of the first story is deception, then the second should be greed, murder, and the third, from homestay couples to girls, no one is innocent. What they have in common is that, in the name of love, they create hell for others.
The source is the girl's mother. She once said that since the girl was 10 years old, she took medicine and went to see a doctor. What kind of family of origin can make children suffer from mental illnesses from the age of 10?
Then there is the girl, what kind of psychology does she hold to instigate and coax the boy she likes to die? Most people have suicidal tendencies, but they are only self-solving, she is not, she coaxes others to die, what psychology?
Not to mention the couple at the B&B in the back, the way to rescue the lost lamb is to make each other a 'human stick'? Even if you say escapism, at most you just find a place to hide. Losing your eyes and staying in the walls and floors without freedom, there are cockroaches crawling around. Is this liberation? It would be better to kill them directly, instead of having to suffer like this, what is even more terrifying is that they really think this is an expression of love.
The way the film is interspersed is good, but the first, second and third stories are separated, except that the killer and the girl have a slight intersection, and finally died in the hands of the couple in the homestay. The other parts are completely irrelevant to the theme of the blood book. Although the last story is very exciting, but because of its wonderfulness, I feel that it can completely break away from the blood book theme and make a movie by itself.
Give a more complete description of the background story of the girl's original family, why the girl coaxes the boy like this, whether it is possible that someone else will discover the secret of the homestay, and so on. Instead of the current situation, leaving unsolvable puzzles, it feels a bit lacking in the ending.
