"Lone Castle" screenwriter Sergio G. Sanchez's directorial debut, a sad, heartbreaking horror film with tenderness. The story is slightly protracted, and there are no loopholes in logic. Directors who are screenwriters usually give the audience a good-looking story. Several young actors of the new generation performed well and gave 7 points.
A single mother and four children traveled across the ocean from England to live in an old country house in the United States.
Beautiful rural scenery, quiet rural life. The eldest brother Jack, the second brother Billy, the older sister Jane, the younger brother Sam, and the younger brother are respectful and happy.
The four brothers and sisters met the girl Ellie when they were traveling. Friendship and love were quietly going on, and everything seemed peaceful and beautiful.
It is a pity that the good times did not last long, and soon my mother, who was exhausted, passed away sadly. On his deathbed, he asked his elder brother, Jack, to keep his death a secret until Jack was 21 years old, so that the law would allow him to take care of his younger siblings, and the younger siblings would not be taken away by the orphan welfare agency.
But things are far from being as simple as planned. The father of the four siblings has a mysterious background, and the empty and dilapidated old house seems to hide more creepy secrets.
Although several crises were turned around with the concerted efforts of the four brothers and sisters and Ellie, the development of the situation gradually exceeded the children's control, and the danger was quietly approaching step by step.
In the end, the cruel truth will emerge little by little.
As a pure horror movie, the degree of shock is not very strong, and the final reversal is somewhat unexpected for the old bird. A lot of bright and quiet pastoral scenery and dark story core, forming a huge gap contrast, when the ending came, it still made the audience feel unbearable. The girl paper with low teardrops pay attention, it is a bit abusive, and those who enter are cautious.
The story obviously has traces of borrowing from the horror classics. I can't say which one is the most important reversal spoiler. Let's check it after reading it. For the director's debut, this flaw is not concealed.
Several young actors are doing well, Ellie is Anya Taylor-Joy in "Split", and Jane (Mia Goss) is very good in "The Antidote." The performance of the cute baby Matthew Stagg overwhelms several brothers and sisters. The director trusts the nine-year-old actor very much. Several groups of long shots and facial close-ups are very good.
Generally speaking, this is a horror film with a strong literary temperament and a preference for the author's film. It is quite different from ordinary horror films in style. In recent years, I feel that Spanish films have sprung up, and there are many excellent works.
