    Telling the old-fashioned story of the old haunted house is so intertwined, innovative, not boring, and very powerful. It is said that it is a reversal. In fact, the principle is very simple. Everything has long been hinted, but once you fall into a paved situation, you will feel , This reversal is really amazing. Who would have thought that this life is hell. The God here is not like the Bible, but the God here is merciful.

    "Screws are tightening". Gradually from simply capturing the action of the character to deepen the inner outline, the scene preset of the dense fog is no longer just the foil of the atmosphere or the physical restoration of the psychological environment, but also refers to the internal and external relationship of the character, which is like Grace's Religious absolute belief: When there is an event that violates the content of the belief, the fluctuation of this level of relationship will become extremely fierce and fragile, such as the constant appearance of strange sounds, which are related to the sun/curtains to some extent (dense fog resists the sun like Grace Refusing to accept reality, the curtain must be faced after being "stolen"), and the sudden return of her husband in the thick fog can be directly regarded as Grace’s psychological mapping (but the addition of male characters does not add much to the film. On the contrary, it seems ambiguous). All of the above constitute the relationship between each character and other characters and the outside world.
