Fear itself is not fear

After watching two not-so-horrible thrillers this month, today I finally saw one that was so addictive, and I regretted watching it before it was released.

This film was far beyond my expectations. I never read the original. I thought it was an old clown haunting routine when I looked at the poster and the name. I didn’t expect that fear was interspersed with cold humor, and the rhythm was tight. Several short-lived jokes entered immediately after laughing. The plot is tense and doesn't feel embarrassing to make people laugh at all.

The campus bullying at the beginning of the movie showed the hero's bravery and fearlessness. From beginning to end, only George was the only one who moved him (and probably the heroine). Others have things they fear, and everyone has things they dare not face. The film even added the dark side of adults. Some children's psychological shadows and fears are all given by adults.

The first time they went to the house to check, I was in my heart to stand in line with the male and female leaders. Although I also thought that the chubby and cute men and women were so cute, the temperament of the male and female leaders really seemed to match. When they faced the clown collectively for the first time, when the other boys were frightened and ran away, the heroine could bravely stab the clown with an iron rod. When the clown finally changed the appearance of the heroine's father, I didn't worry that she was afraid at all, because she could already lie in wait and kick her father's body and beat him on the ground. After a series of things, the other boys became brave, grew up, and knew how to face the fear in their hearts.

Fear itself is not terrible. I saw a sentence before: "If you are afraid of something, do it. In the end, you will find that it is not so terrible." When people grow up, they will encounter many things that they fear. Instead of being afraid, they should face it bravely. To escape a fear, you will not have to face it the next time you come back.
Finally, I really feel that the acting skills of a few children are really good, much better than some stars.
