The film has a very high level in terms of plot setting and atmosphere creation. Without a lot of blood and horror, it creates that kind of gloomy atmosphere, showing the director's high standard of filmmaking.
The only time I was scared and my scalp went numb was when the volunteer suddenly grabbed the heroine after being hit by a car. At that moment, I was really shocked by Xiaoxiao.
The theme of this film shows the deep love between mother and son and the courage of the mother to do nothing to find her son. , which adds a lot of warmth to this horror film.
But the time does not hide the flaws, the narration of the whole story seems to be a bit flawed, resulting in an unnatural transition, which makes people feel abrupt.
And one of the truths I understand from the film is that parents should understand and trust their children's behavior, instead of blindly denying them and imposing their own thinking on their children. If the heroine had more trust in the little boy at that time, the tragedy might actually be Won't happen, but if ever is just an if. Fortunately, the director gave a Happy Ending to
make the audience feel more comfortable, and at the same time praise the greatness of mother's love, like a lighthouse, shining on us.
