"After Turning Off the Lights"

The mother's suicide in the film pushes the film to a climax. The audience hoped that the sister would take her brother and mother to kill Diana under the cold light together, but in the perfect ending, the mother saved her daughter with her own life. At this moment, it is not only a mother's forgiveness for her daughter's abandonment, but also a manifestation of the power of mother's love, a relief from overwhelm and torture, and a way of expression for the director to make the story more real. After all, the real is imperfect.

The film makes good use of people's childhood fear of darkness, which is also one of the elements of human's original fear. The music in the film is just right, and it works well with the horror scene, which is not only a surprise, but an extension of the visual horror.

The character of the mother in the film first appeared in the description of the boy and his father in a video call. The mother's symptoms were talking to herself, often staying in the dark, with a haggard face and helpless despair, and seemed to be suffering. It is shown that the mother sometimes wants to get rid of Diana, and sometimes she is controlled by Diana, which has also been confirmed in the sister's investigation. As the film progresses, when my sister talks to her mother at the door and is stuffed with a note, there is a close-up, that is, the corner of her mother's clothes is pulled. All of this gradually proves that the mother is under Diana's control rather than her intention.

Regarding the whole film, it is not like the Yin Erfang. There are powerful exorcists to compete with evil spirits, and there are no angered people to quell the evil spirits. People are all inferior to Diana's powerful power, which makes people feel Somewhat depressing. It's a bit awkward, or rather lack of focus. I

Off topic, I always feel that the suffocation can control the resentment, find a butcher and stab the knife on the table, I guess Diana will also pee, hahaha just kidding! All in all, it's a good movie, worth watching!
