The "Old" Ghost Alone

In recent years, Americans and British people are very keen on fraud-themed movies. They are not violent enough, full of wisdom, and there are no lack of action scenes. They challenge the traditional concept of right and wrong but are harmless, often with a little black humor. However, not many comedians like Drew Barrymore and Ben Stiller have been filmed.
The young couple, who have just started their careers, seem to lack everything except a house. Good luck seems to want to take care of them. In Brooklyn, New York, there is a two-story apartment building with good environmental facilities and very cheap waiting for them. . . When I saw the adept real estate agent appear on the stage, it reminded me of Al Pacino's "The Money Worship Clan". It seems that there is no real estate agent in the United States who does not deceive people. Sure enough, the house is very cheap, but there is a strange condition. On the second floor, there is an old woman tenant who is said to be almost 100 years old. Her lease will not be terminated with the change of the landlord, unless she dies. The irresistible temptation to take advantage of the advantage. The couple bought the apartment. Of course, apart from the shortcomings that can’t be blamed for being greedy, they also carry a bit of evil that can’t be said: secretly expecting the old woman to hurry up, and then this house It will truly belong to them, and house prices will rise thousands of times. The scam has opened.

Since this is the case, the two are not good people for the time being, although they initially wanted to get along with the old woman in peace-in fact, the old woman didn't want to get along with them: the sex life that was disturbed at any time by the noisy TV on the second floor or Sleep; the husband who was writing at home who was stopped by the tedious housework on the second floor at any time. . . The escalating conflict occurred after the husband's approaching final delivery date. The compromises, rejections, and counterattacks made are all invalid. Subsequently, the wife lost her job after being harassed by the old woman's phone call, and the manuscript that the husband had finally driven out was destroyed by the old woman and lost the contract.
Facing the desperate situation of life and career, they are desperate. Doing nothing and endlessly, the couple came up with the most thorough solution that turned out to be murder-strangely the audience didn't seem to think there was anything wrong-to contract the deadly flu virus and want to infect the old woman and she had already been vaccinated. He used acid to corrode the floor in an attempt to kill her and hit her. He bought a gun but went on fire and hit his own little dick. He bankrupted his family and hired a killer but was almost killed by the old woman. There was also a nosy policeman forever. Will appear in time. For the tragic situation, please refer to "Home Alone". It is more similar that the audience does not want the old woman to die, but secretly hopes that the couple can be freed. There are no good people and no bad people. The old woman can only be regarded as hateful. The unlucky couple seems to have only murder. And in these murder attempts, they have almost succeeded twice, and the golden light of conscience is flashing twice: they saved the old woman when he almost choked to death by chocolate; the fight between the killer and the old woman caused a fire, and they rescued him. Came out. The conscience is rewarded with the following ending: the
helpless couple sold the house at a low price, and another foolish couple took over. At this time, the old woman passed away. The couple sighed at the cemetery for the old woman’s dedication to a fulfilling life. Then Starting from the beginning, the old woman who came back to life in a blink of an eye, her son who was a real estate agent, and the police officer were discussing how to spend the money that was blackmailed by this two-storey apartment over and over again with the same technique.

Black humor that makes people unable to laugh.
This world is not a utopia where good and evil are rewarded for evil. The choice between right and wrong depends on your own inner conscience. And having a conscience does not necessarily benefit you. The grim ending that is so cruel that you can't laugh.
