The crux of the film is that old yellowed photo: Abby today, a little boy with glasses. The little boy in the photo is now gray-haired and slow to move. When searching for blood for Abby, he even accidentally fell and spilled the blood. He made a mistake in foraging for Abby for the last time and was arrested by the police after the car accident. When he was sent to the hospital, Abby came to visit him. He looked at the "girl" he had fallen in love with as a child, stretched out his neck, and let Abby eat his own blood. Let's call this old man's occupation "vampire puppet". His main job is to find blood for vampires, help vampires avoid the sun, and, no matter where he lives, he will say to Abby, "You can come in."
Abby Like puzzle games, she keeps an ancient Rubik's cube. The tone of the whole film is a lonely and lonely childhood atmosphere. Owen, a thin and small boy, is often bullied by classmates who are taller than him in the class, and their bullying even kills him. So, when Owen was desperate, Abby appeared and killed the classmates who bullied him one by one. In the end, Owen took Abby who was hiding in the box, got on the train, left the hometown he never wanted to come back to, and became a new "vampire puppet".
What a lonely vampire this is. Once you let her in, you will never get out.
