The Maruben family, the mother brought four children, Jack, Billy, Jane and Sam to the mother's childhood house, waved goodbye to the past, and left the father who stole and abused. To my friend Ellie. When her mother died of illness, she told Jack to live a low-key life and not to announce her death until she was 21 years old, otherwise the brothers and sisters would be taken away by the welfare agency and scattered. Jack has always followed his mother's agreement and took care of his brothers and sisters until one day a man shot and shattered the glass... The four brothers and sisters were in panic. Only the eldest brother went out every day, and the remaining three brothers and sisters were locked in the yard. I often hear voices in the walls and see "ghosts". In order to officially own the house, when Tom, a lawyer who has a crush on Ellie, needs the signature of Ma Rouben's mother's signature for confirmation, Jane imitates her mother's handwriting to sign. Tom saw the flaw and was going to use it to blackmail Jack into handing over the money that his father had stolen at the time. Billy had to go to the money box that was thrown down the chimney, but was injured by the man inside. Billy told Jack that their father, who was locked in the room, was not dead. Jane thinks she should tell Ellie the whole situation, so she keeps a diary for Ellie. Through the diary, everything is true. On the day her father found the four brothers and sisters, her father had killed Billy, Jane and Sam, who happened to be Because Jack locked the door, the three of them couldn't escape the murder. Jack couldn't stand the blow. He continued to lock his father in that room and attempted suicide, but stress split into three other personalities: Billy, Jane and Sarah. Mu, since then has been living in the illusion that the younger brother and sister are not dead. Ellie went to Jack after reading the diary, and found that Tom, who came to ask for money, opened the locked door and was killed by Jack's father. Just when Ellie was killed, Jack took the psychological shadow and went to this room. kill father. After that, Jack was hospitalized, Ellie took care of him, and stopped Jack's medication, allowing Billy, Jane and Sam to return to his side...

The horror vibe isn't very strong, but the ending is a little tear-jerking. As the eldest brother, Jack is really not easy to live. It is also for the sake of his younger brothers and sisters. He wants to stay together for a long time, but he is separated from each other, the appearance of split personalities, and Ellie's kind behavior at the end can be explained.

The story line is obvious, no need to imagine, just as it is presented, the father is an entity, a sin, not Jack's fantasy; Jack is a tragedy, he needs to be redeemed, and finally is redeemed by Ellie.
