There is also a translation titled "Medullary Bone", a nearly two-hour film, with siblings as the main theme, accompanied by love and friendship. Strictly speaking, it is not a horror film.

The plot left the audience with a few questions in the first hour: Why cover up the mirror? Why are you afraid of your father's ghost? Why did the lawyer walk around the house and see Jack alone, but no siblings? Why is the newspaper report only about the son's whistle-blowing father without mentioning the other siblings? Why is the door of the attic sealed with a wall? What is that big stain on the ceiling, and why does it have to be painted before the lawyers come? There are too many suspense and doubts, until the flashback is inserted.

Jack's father was insane because he was accused by his son. He found the four escaped Jack brothers and sisters to take revenge and wanted to kill them. Jack locked the three brothers and sisters in the attic to ensure their safety, and went to a duel with his father by himself. Unexpectedly, he lost to his father, was pushed off a cliff by his father and fell unconscious. When his father returned to the house, he found that the attic was locked and could not enter, so he climbed into the attic from the chimney and killed the three children hiding inside, but because he could not escape, As a result, he has been trapped in the attic, feeding on mice, raccoons and wild animals that have crawled into the house. Jack woke up and came home to find that his father had killed his brother and sister. He couldn't accept this reality. Suddenly he lost his mind and was schizophrenic. He created a younger brother and sister in the spiritual world, as if they never left. This is a sad story. The answers to the questions posed to the audience were immediately solved: 1. The purpose of covering the mirror is to let me forget the fact that my younger brother and sister are no longer there, so that I can continue to live with my imaginary younger brother and sister; 2. Why are you afraid of the building? Because Jack subconsciously knew that his father was locked in the attic, and he was probably still alive, but he didn't dare to prove it. In order to continue living, he could only lie to himself that his father was dead, but because of his father's nature Brutal, always afraid of the father; 3. Why the lawyer can't see the siblings, because they died a long time ago, and the three skeletons in the attic at the end of the film are confirmed; 4. Why the newspaper only told the son to sue the father, this is yet to be seen Discuss; 5. The attic door must be sealed with a wall, because the brutal father is inside, and he cannot be allowed to come out to hurt people; 6. The stains on the roof must be painted, because the bodies of the younger brothers and sisters are caused by the penetration of corrupt bodily fluids for a long time. Yes, Jack, who is occasionally normal in spirit, is bound to cover up in order to avoid being discovered by outsiders and keep his house.

Finally, let's talk about the title of this film "Medullary Bone". The relationship between brother and sister is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. It is necessary to avenge them and put them in the memory. After getting rid of the shadow of their father, I will live happily with them for a long time. Together, because Jack had promised that the four of them would be together forever.
