Storyline: A perverted father who abused his daughter, because of robbery and murder, the eldest son came forward to accuse him and brought him to justice. Because of fear, the mother and son want to forget the past, leave their homeland, and come to a foreign land. Accidentally, the four brothers and sisters met a girl, they became friends, the eldest son and the girl secretly fell in love. The days went on like this, until one day, the mother who was in poor health passed away. The eldest son swore to protect his younger siblings. Not long after, the perverted dad escaped and found them. The eldest son locked his younger brothers and sisters in the attic, and went to the perverted father to fight him. Unexpectedly, the perverted father who was stabbed in the throat did not die, but pushed him off a cliff. The perverted dad returned to the house, found the attic locked, and went down the chimney to the attic. The eldest son under the cliff woke up, returned home, heard screams, and knew that the perverted father had entered the attic and his younger brother and sister had been killed. The eldest son built a wall to block the door and blocked the exit of the chimney with wooden boards. After a long time, a lawyer came to help the deceased mother to transfer the property, but he charged a handling fee. The eldest son had no choice but to use the money that the perverted dad grabbed and paid in pounds (emphasis added). Then the eldest son felt guilty and threw the money box down the chimney into the attic where the perverted dad was. . Later, the lawyer failed to confess to the girl, coupled with the unspoken rules of the workplace, and found that the whereabouts of the stolen money from the perverted father's robbery was unknown, and then he thought of the pounds he received from the eldest son, so he had bad thoughts and blackmailed the eldest son. The eldest son had no choice but to climb down from the chimney to the attic to get the box. Unexpectedly, the perverted father didn't die, he didn't get the money, and he was injured. That night, the eldest son wanted to confess everything to the girl, so he sent a signal to the girl and made an appointment at the old place. The next day, the lawyer came to the eldest son to get the money and found no one, and the attic was blocked by the wall. He thought, there is a story. He smashed the wall with a sledgehammer and met a perverted father, pawn. The girl came to the eldest son, found a lawyer's bag on the table, found that the eldest son was crazy, and let herself go. The girl thought to herself, ignore me, I will go to a lawyer. Then I found out that the lawyer was dead, saw the perverted father, and asked the eldest son for help, and the eldest son shot the perverted father. Then the eldest son and the girl lived a happy life without shame and shame... the end of the play

A few details:

1. At the beginning of the feature film, all the children except Jack are dead. So all the activities after that, including games, dialogues, etc., are dominated by different personalities of Jack. Details: The scar on Jack's forehead, which has been there since the start of the feature film, was not there before. The scars were left after falling off the cliff.

2. Afraid of mirrors. In order to increase the suspenseful effect, the director did not explain why he was afraid of mirrors. Is there a ghost in the mirror? No, this film is really without any supernatural. Because apart from Jack's personality, other personalities don't want to see that they are not themselves in the mirror and deny their existence. Details: Sam stood up with the sheets on, and saw the unusually tall figure in the mirror, again, not a ghost, it was Jack... Masked Jack

3. It was Jack who went down the chimney to get the box. Details: The wounds on Billy's body and face are the same as when Ellie came to find Jack and found Jack's wounds.

4. How did the perverted dad survive? Eat the corpse of a child. I think the reason why the director didn't explain it directly is because it doesn't conform to the style of the movie, after all, it's not a violent and bloody route. Details: a. In the attic, the bodies of the three brothers and sisters are already only skeletons, air-dried? nonexistent. b. The scar on Jack's forehead has not healed, indicating that the incident did not take long. c. The raccoon was killed after a period of time.

Just to name a few details, what I want to say is that the director of this film is very meticulous.

    In this horror film, there are several new generations of good actors. The director edited and directed the debut of the film. It was produced by the Hollywood team, and it can be regarded as the product of the complete Hollywoodization of Spanish horror films. Like Latin American horror movies of the same type, the story is wrapped in a strong family affection under the horror coat, and in the end it feels not horrible, but just too sad. The reversal of the story is not smooth enough, and the ending is too simple and rude, not a good story.
