The viewing quality of the picture is commendable, the background is black, the main scene is an ancient castle, the inside of the castle is gorgeously decorated, the antique furniture and antique toys are very delicate, the small town houses and villagers and other environment settings, the overall shooting angle of the picture The whole film has been very eye-catching.
The plot tells the story of a single father who lost his wife and went to a small town to investigate the situation of the house in order to continue to live well, and was then harassed by a female ghost. She helped the female ghost find his son's body and buried them together, but was eventually killed by the female ghost. The ghost was killed, causing the male protagonist to reunite with the male protagonist's children and wives in the underworld.
This ending is really sad! Maybe because most horror movies are not the inertia of happy endings, this movie also continues this tradition. Although the picture is beautiful, why did I directly think of the ending of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a maze that can never be escaped . Although the male protagonist calmly faced death or the upcoming reincarnation, the town is still in the resentment of ghosts and cannot be freed.
However, if you think about it, since the town is haunted and people really die, why do so many people still live in the town, and why don't everyone move out? Was the hukou system very strict at that time? Everyone has to live in one place until they die? Or, the people who stay are poor and unable to move? Can peasants leave the land and become workers? Is it good to go to the city to work? I see that there are already trains in that movie. The industrial revolution should have been completed long ago. The movement of sheep to eat people should have happened long ago. It is better to be exploited by capitalists than to stay at home and be killed by ghosts. Therefore, these villagers are all masochists, and they still enjoy the feeling of panic when they are neighbors with female ghosts. Or the villagers originally lived in this place for some ulterior motive, perhaps purely the nursery of the female ghost.
At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist tried hard to describe the male protagonist as a father who worked hard to maintain a broken family. In order to make excuses for him to venture into haunted houses again and again, in fact, if he is responsible for his family, he will cherish his life and will not risk his life again and again. If he does not do this job, he will be unemployed at most. Looking for other jobs, unemployment is better than losing his life or even his son's life, but he doesn't.
There is also that female ghost. It is estimated that she was a paranoid before her death, so her guardianship was deprived, and her sister took care of the child on her behalf. Who knows how she was so unlucky and took care of her sister's child to death, and then the sister spared no effort to curse and curse again. , This incident tells us that you must not offend the villain when you do things. This reminds me of a joke, which is very famous. It is said that a violent person is not even willing to take him in, the reason is that he is afraid of causing trouble for himself. I think this film can be a prequel, describing how the female ghost's husband was tortured by the female ghost when she was still alive, and the plot of the family change that happened later, and how the god of death did not want her to join after the female ghost died. She came from the big happy and peaceful family in hell, making her a lonely ghost. The design of this character is actually more reasonable than that of the male protagonist. She is a female ghost, and her role is to do evil (the setting of being a ghost is very reasonable)
. In the arrangement of the horror plot of the film, most of the horror sound effects are used. old-fashioned.
I can imagine the original idea of this story, which is to say that a person entered an ancient castle, was harassed by a female ghost, and then he wanted to fulfill his wish for the female ghost. Finally, the wish was fulfilled, and the female ghost did not appreciate it and still killed the story. Around this plot, many other theories have been derived, such as why the person entered the castle and other plots, but many plots are logically unreasonable, and the screenwriter did not spend more brains on the plot. I estimate that many plots in the original novel It was deleted by the screenwriter, and those logical plots and environments were not reflected in the movie. Those who are curious can go to the original book to have a look.
