Control the space, play with the mind

The terrifying and depressing atmosphere at the beginning of the film is very successful. In a certain space, the shot of Meg is like a spying perspective, and her actions seem to be in the sight of the gangsters, (although Meg and Sarah are in the refuge room. while watching the looters) as long as she is active, the audience is disturbed. The information reception settings of both sides of the confrontation are also very particular. Meg Sara can send out one-way broadcasts to observe the movements and locations of looters. The villain relies on listening to the movement of the refuge room to infer the situation inside, and transmits information through gestures and writing. Under the contrast of information, strength and identity, a tension is formed between the robber's sabotage and the protagonist's repeated self-help calls for help. The shot here is to run through the tools of both sides, and use gas to force the protagonist. Meg's counterattack was to take advantage of her convenience and use the gas to start the fire. When the fire hit the robbers, the trapped psychology that the audience felt the same way was also relieved, and further contests began. Although the film has been criticized for its simple plot and simply relying on the atmosphere to win, but in the middle of the film, Finch is no longer interested in this. The robbery trio began to strife as their goals were inconsistent. The call for help of the protagonist mother and daughter led to the intervention of external forces. At this time, the masked person in the villain became a simple and ugly person who was teased. The black uncle faced the sick Sarah, Compassion is awakened. The pressure in the chamber was dissipated.

The father who came to the rescue made several descriptions before he appeared. In the mouth of the robber, Sarah was sure that he would not wait, because he was not a qualified family member before. But when the robber used his life to force Meg to open the refuge room, he said not to open it, although no sound could be heard in the refuge room, his image, like a black robber, had a complex human setting to expand the film of human spirit.

It is also worth mentioning that this film takes place in a specific space, and the house is large enough to allow for activities. For example, after the three of them go downstairs, Meg goes back to the room to look for her mobile phone. At this time, the switching of the screen is compulsive. Chasing and fleeing in a suitable space is the usual method of the film. When Meg destroys the lights at the end of the film and is in the dark rear, the robbers are on guard every step of the way, and they stop at the father who is scheduled to carry a gun. The situation of double-sided attack is another contrast to the initial situation.

The movie has a low rating, and the bug that is most frequently mentioned is when two police officers knock on the door, the protagonist is afraid that the robber will hurt his daughter and fool the police away. Under certain conditions, people can of course make actions that are difficult for others to understand, but the monitor can't hear the sound, and the two policemen are very handsome and caring about the protagonist and said that they can use hints to inform. I have no explanation for this. Psychologically, I see that police officers who are not good-looking passers-by will be very trusting and believe that they will play a huge role, but if there is no such expectation, there is no need to discuss it.
