The theme and horror of the story are novel, and the logic of the plot is chaotic. So many questions!

The subject matter and horror techniques of this film are good. The only regret is that the good subject matter is useless to be developed. I personally expect the story to be stronger, the logic of the plot is not strong, and it is not rigorous enough. The beginning was good, but the end was bad. The story is a bit of an allusion to the ambivalence in the hearts of people with depression. In the introduction to Diana, what does it have to do with the whole plot by saying that she can use her mind to control the whole story? Why can't I control my mother with my mind after I become a ghost? Diana just wanted to possess her mother, why did she hurt the child, and why didn't she hurt her earlier? Mom wants her son to accept Diana, why is Diana hitting him? In the episode where my mother appeared for the first time, there was no fear in chatting so intimately and happily with Diana, as if they were really good friends. There was a note at the back saying need help?
The horror clips are set up a bit bluntly, for the horror and horror feel. Completely illogical, for example, was Diana a ghost or a physical presence? Sometimes it disappears when exposed to light and sometimes it rots? What do the words on the wall mean? Did I not understand it? Where did it explain that Diana and her mother lived and died together?
