1. Content (7 points)

The movie as a whole seems to be a bit sloppy, and it doesn't make it clear whether the heroine has a mental problem or whether there is really a monster coming out of that hole. But whether it is a mental problem or a monster problem, the heroine overcomes him with instinctive motherhood. If the heroine has mental problems, then the heroine's son is actually a mirror, and the heroine is alone with the child to start living as a single mother. On the one hand, the son reflected the expression of his mother's rebellious emotions leading his own life alone, and on the other hand, he was the kind of son that a single mother wanted, who was sensible and obedient and did not cause trouble for himself. These points are clearly expressed in the movie. The son was not obedient and did not eat well, and then he had a big mouth to eat. From the original love of playing with toys and not organizing them by himself, the mother went to the room and found that all the toys were neat and tidy. The storage is well-organized, and it feels like the son is actually the mirror of the mother's heart. And the monster in the hole may not be a monster but a human desire. The first time her son disappeared, she went to look for her son to stand in front of the hole and was attracted. It should be that the hole was listening to the mother's inner voice, and then the hole gave her a Her ideal son, but then the mother woke up and found that what she wanted was her original son, which was a choice. But no matter which son it is, she can be said to have passed the test and become a qualified mother.

2. Screen (7 points)

Most of the shots in the movie are still very in-depth. The car's mirror falling when it hits the grandmother, and the son running into the woods and the mother chasing later are all very textbook expressions. . However, there are a few places where the shots are not well connected. One is that when the woman's body is found, the shot is cut so broken that the blurriness replaces the tension. Also, when the heroine fights with her "son" in the basement, the frequency of the lights flashing is too rhythmic. It is understandable that a few flashes in the front will also feel oppressive and tense, but it is a bit too long-winded to keep flashing at the same frequency in the back. . In the end, Cong Didong took his son out of there. The scene was too big, and the place that should be expressed in finer footage was hurriedly taken away. When I watched it, I had an illusion that the second half was not shot by the same director.

3. Music (10 points)

All the sound processing in this film is very rhythmic and oppressive. It can be said that it adds a lot of points to the overall look and feel of the movie, and improves the overall style of the movie.

4. Actor (9 points)

The acting skills of the two actors, mother and son, are very good, especially the subtle expression processing changes of the son switching between two different personalities, which are very worthy of recognition. The role of the mother is a good interpretation of a mother's great nature as a mother when danger comes. The only fly in the ointment is that the mother's son's visual age is 6 years old, that is, a mother with 6 children, but the expression is in the movie. At the beginning, it always gave me the illusion that she had not been with this child for a long time. Every hug in the whole movie did not give me a sense of comfort. The hug itself is a relaxing action, but the hug between the heroine and the son always It made me feel like she was holding someone else's son.

Overall a good movie.
