Under the dim and dim tones is an empty plot

There are too many things that have not been explained clearly, such as what the camera captured, what Noreen's husband Brady knows, why mother Sarah hadn't talked to the people in the town about the hole in the ground, and why she suddenly thought of going to the giant cave to find her son. . . The plot progresses slowly, obviously we can speed up the rhythm and delete some plots. For example, after the son disappeared that night, the strange behavior can be reduced to two or three times, delete the son's sudden appearance in the restaurant downstairs, and Sarah imagined that Chris broke the police. The two parts of the wrist and digging out their own scars change the plot to explain the doubts left, and enrich the interaction between Sarah and other characters.

Because I glanced at the movie reviews before watching the movie, I thought this movie was a psychological thriller. At the end, it would be revealed that all the plots are human imaginations, but at the end, I realized that this might be a horror movie with monsters. If the monster kidnapped Chris and Sarah successfully rescued her son, then the movie would be really boring. If all this was Sarah's fantasy, and in the end she successfully saved herself and returned to normal life, that's okay. But I thought that the direction of the plot would be that the monster made Sarah hysterical, and then Sarah went to the cave to take the son that the monster turned into, and locked the real Chris in the basement to burn to death, but at the end, the open ending designed by the director did not go to this. direction guide. Perhaps the reason why the director and screenwriter did not explain the doubts so clearly was that they wanted to leave the audience with as many imaginations as possible, but they were unsuccessful.
