The real horror is people, not ghosts

At the beginning of the movie, the foreshadowing was laid. The daughter's mother died in the bathtub. Is it suicide? The daughter's blurred and hateful eyes mistakenly made everyone think that she is the protagonist of the weird story because of her mother. Suddenly Charlie appeared. This is the "consciousness" friend of the daughter the dad has been looking for. After Elizabeth was pushed out of the window and died, she finally showed up. It was none other than this father who claimed to be a psychiatrist. Break up the doll, drown the cat, kill Elizabeth, and finally the police officer. Charlie, who has been playing hide-and-seek, finally found Amelie, but it was in the hole where the story was confusing at the beginning, where he first met Charlie. One shot! Dad, this schizophrenic psychiatrist finally ended his painful life, because of his wife's betrayal, let him embark on a road of no return. At the same time, what he did also planted the seeds of evil in his daughter's life.
Sometimes the real scary thing is not the ethereal things like ghosts, but the human heart! This also reminds me of a Japanese drama series, where hide-and-seek is used to tell the story. From now on, I will never play hide-and-seek again, a shadow in my heart!
But I have to say it's a good movie. It can be regarded as an ethics film, a horror ethics film.
