In recent years, the wealthy Netflix filmed many hit dramas:
"Stranger Things", "Sex Study Room", "Go to the World of X"...
One thing these dramas have in common is that they are starring in young people , plus a little fantasy or suspense.
Because of the good ratings and benefits, Netflix's father may want to continue to expand in this field.
So this year out of this - " Fatal key " Locke & Key.
Look at the name, this is definitely a drama that Maruko will chase.
Not to mention it is an R-rated drama adapted from a novel by Joe Hill, the son of "Master of Horror" Stephen King .
The three high-looking siblings are starring, and they are full of expectations~
However, after watching a few episodes, I'm really out of anger!
If I had these master keys, I would never have these mentally retarded behaviors.
01
The magic key appears
The story is about an originally happy family.
Suddenly, an accident happened and his father Randal Lock was shot and killed by the student Sam who broke into the house .
Since then, the family has lost their husband and father.
Although the murderer is in jail, no one knows why he murdered.
Mother Nina spent the darkest months of her life.
She decided to take a few children, eldest son Taylor , daughter Kinsey , youngest bird , and start again.
So they drove from Seattle to an unknown town, which was Randal’s ancestral home.
But there is another reason for moving here, to find out the cause of death of her husband .
She had heard the murderer talk about it at the scene of the crime.
In the end, everything got here--
" Key House ".
The key house looks like a castle on the outside, but the inside is dilapidated.
Finally settled down, but everything has just begun.
After Randolph passed away, his mother used to let everything return to normal, but it was impossible.
His son Taylor became anxious and unwilling to communicate with his family ;
Daughter Kinsey is also full of anxiety.
Always thinking about that day, she hugged Bird and hid under the table, and witnessed her father being shot, because she became very withdrawn because of guilt ;
The younger brother Bird, who doesn’t need to go to school, doesn’t love his elder brother, and his elder sister doesn’t love him, so he takes exploring the key house as his main task.
The curious little boy also found a woman in the well in front of his house .
Although she couldn't see her face, she said she was his friend.
She told him that there are many magical keys in the key house, as long as he listens carefully, he can find them.
By accident, Bird accidentally found a key on his sister's bracelet.
This master key can open any door and go where you want to go .
And that bracelet was given to his daughter by Randal.
Byrd used this key for the first time and came to an ice cream shop in an instant. The ice cream boy had touched up with his sister before.
He thought it was amazing and showed it to the old lady who came in.
But for some reason, Kinsey opened the door, and the scene outside the door did not change. It was just a grocery room.
Byrd became a "liar" and was reprimanded to be honest.
But for children, the warnings of adults are deaf ears.
He continued to wander in the key house and heard the key whispering.
A mirror key with a different function was found.
You can open another world in the mirror, and another self appears on the mirror, hooking at you strangely.
The woman at the bottom of the well told Bird to let his mother use the mirror key to understand how he felt.
He believed in this evil.
As a result, Nina followed the other herself in the mirror and walked into the world in the mirror.
It's good this time, being locked in to face countless selves, I can't get out anymore.
She cried out for help.
Byrd went to the woman at the bottom of the well for help.
Unexpectedly, the "Girl in the Well" had an entity and deceived his master key.
Opened a door and escaped.
Fortunately, Taylor came back at this time.
Bird asked him to go in with a rope to find his mother.
Taylor couldn't tell which was true and which was false in the mirror, but fortunately, he closed his eyes and rescued Nina by voice.
Now, I have to believe that there is really a magic key in the world.
Strangely, Nina didn't remember the experience just now, and said that the mirror should be cleaned.
They looked at their amnesiac mother and came to a conclusion- adults, don't remember magic .
Brother and sister felt it was dangerous, so Bird was not allowed to use the key anymore.
Bird was also very angry. "Girl in the Well" even lied to him and almost lost his mother.
They bid farewell to this accident, no one would have thought that the devil had come to the world.
The banshee at the bottom of the well, "Girl in the Well", well, her real name is Dodge .
Got the master key.
After a while, I ate the King’s meal, changed into a fashionable dress, and robbed the jewelry store;
When I went to the bar, I strangled a man...
As long as she opens a door, she can escape tracking and go wherever she wants to go.
Sure enough, the master key is used to the extreme.
And here, the Locke family have not realized that the danger is approaching...
02
Father's Secret
In a short period of time, Bird found another " mind key ".
When it gets close to your head, a keyhole will appear in your head unconsciously.
Turning the key, the body instantly fell to the ground.
At the same time, another self and a door appeared, and inside the door was the world of his own mind.
There are good things to share, of course.
Bird invites Taylor and Kinsey into his brain world.
A small playground, full of toy snacks .
In line with the preferences of boys this age by Bird.
But the elder sister turned her face and refused to recognize people. Not only did she prevent Bird from seeing the world of her brain, she also confiscated these magic keys.
The beautiful name is, "Protect my brother."
As a result, what did they do with the key.
The one who chased a female classmate with a key and became erudite overnight, it was Taylor who was right;
Kinsey’s mind is like a shopping mall.
Divided by floor and category, it is also in line with the more complex mental structure of teenagers;
Kinsey is out of place in school because he hates his constrained self.
My brother only cared about decadence and didn't care about her.
She found that her fear in the brain world was a scary female ghost who looked a lot like her, so she took the fear out and buried it in the real world.
After that, she seemed to be a different person.
Together with the incompetent Taylor, they became the two big IQ depressions in the family.
Jin Sai found a free key in a music box .
As long as you turn the key and speak your wish, the designated person will be obedient.
Kinsey and her boyfriend used it to retaliate against female classmates who bullied them.
But she never expected that Jinsai, who had lost her fear, got out of control, and she didn't care about the harm she caused to others .
Let the female classmate throw a dog and eat shit.
Still swimming at the dinner table and dancing to the statue .
Boyfriend Scott, the ice cream boy, became scared and ran away from Kinsey.
The transfer student Gabe took advantage of the void and became a new friend of Kinsey.
Now that they come to the key house, their mission is more than that simple.
Bird found a ghost key on the antique painting at home .
After unscrewing the door, the soul goes directly out of the body, is invisible and has the ability to fly.
In his description, "looks like a torn sock fluttering in the wind."
He floated in the air, floated, and flew to the family cemetery.
I met a ghost in a suit who could see him. He was said to be his great-grandfather.
The two souls communicated friendly.
Bird is also more aware of the magic of these keys.
Through the memory key, Brother Locke accidentally spied the buried memory of Uncle Duncan.
It was actually a memory of my father beating when he was a teenager. With such a heavy hand, the fallen man seemed to be dead.
Taylor thought that his father killed someone, but Kinsey refused to believe that his father was the murderer and tried to find more evidence.
The father seemed to be concealing some unknown things, which had a great connection with the magic key .
During this time, mother Nina didn't seem to show up much.
But in fact, she is also investigating what happened when her husband was a teenager.
For example, he never mentioned to her those friends from high school.
Three of them had drowned in a place called a sea cave .
In order to learn more, she and Randal’s past friend Aisha made friends and discovered something strange.
They have the same keyhole tattoo.
Aisha is very secretive about the source of the tattoo, and Nina's investigation is in trouble for a while.
Because she is an adult, Nina's memory of witnessing magic will be cleared later, but the Roc brothers and sisters will not.
Dodge couldn't steal the key from them directly, so he had to intimidate Bird again and again.
So they distributed a few keys in case of a surprise attack by Dodge.
But they forgot:
The reason why the devil is terrible is because they are always watching in secret, bringing out the scariest memory in people's hearts .
03
The devil is around
Because of the memory key.
Brother Locke discovered that when they were young, their father told them a story about a treasure hunt in the ocean:
A fisherman and his friends are exploring wealth in the sea.
Encountered a sea monster on the way, and the sea monster swallowed the fisherman's friends...
But the ending they heard was completely different, Bird fell asleep without hearing the end.
What Kinsey heard was that the sea monster finally found the fisherman.
But because the fisherman did not take the treasure alone, the sea monster was moved.
It spit out friends and let the fisherman go, and everyone was happy;
But Taylor remembers the ending:
The sea monster only did not eat the fisherman.
It allows him to live, spend the rest of his life alone on the island, and never forget everything he has done and the pain he has suffered.
You can run away, but the memories will never disappear .
This story with a different ending seems to be a metaphor for what happened to his father .
But confused, they didn't understand what it symbolized.
Could it be that the so-called treasure is a magic key?
Taylor became negative and decadent again because of the "suicide" of his respected teacher.
Hanging out with a strange woman who came to strike up a conversation.
But he didn't know that the woman he was kissing was the Dodge his brother said.
While Dodge and Tyler were in love, Sam had been deliberately released by Dodge, who caused the tragedy of their family.
With a match key, across the prison, came to the key house.
The scene did pull the wind...
And his purpose is:
Help Dodge get the key to the brain that can enter the brain of others to find out.
Nina couldn't remember anything related to magic, and Kinsey and Bird concealed the whereabouts of the key.
Facing the gunpoint, Kinsey once again remembered memories that scared her:
Sam broke into her house, and she held Bird in fear and dared not move.
Until the injured mother knocked Sam out with a hammer...
She regretted that she hadn't, but watched the incident happen again.
At this time, Taylor discovered Dodge's real body, grabbed the master key, and rushed in time.
At a critical moment, he used the key of his mind to get Sam out of his body, and the reason for his father's death finally came to light.
It turns out that Sam has borderline personality disorder.
To help him, Randal forced his son to approach him and be friends with him.
However, Sam is tempted by the banshee Dodge in the antique painting, thinking that both Randollar and Taylor betray him.
He believed Dodge's lie and helped her escape the predicament.
Perseveringly looking for the whereabouts of the key house, he even shot Randal.
Taylor was relieved. It turned out that his father's death had nothing to do with the jokes he had said.
He's wasted time, he's been abandoning himself for too long, too long...
But the devil didn't give them a chance to breathe, she just snatched all the keys.
He even stabbed Sam with a knife and said to him the cruelest words in the world:
No one loves you for a reason, because you are not special at all .
Before he died, Sam accidentally turned the ghost key.
It turned into a ghost state invisible to ordinary people, and died in another way...
And Dodge, successfully got almost all the keys, and left contentedly.
Is the key house that loses the magic key still a key house?
Of course, because Lock, Lock, the family's surname, it happens to symbolize the power they hold .
They finally found the blue gate that their father and friends found, the place where the devil was released.
Also discovered the way the devil changed his face.
An identity key can become any face close to you.
A battle with the Devil Dodge has just begun.
04
The real use of magic keys
The story is not over.
"Fatal Key" has wonderful places and some unspeakable bugs.
For example, is the fatal key really not fatal?
There are so many ghosts, religious ceremonies and bloody scenes in the movie master key.
You a fatal key, just a shadow monster that disappears when the light is turned on ?
Another example is the IQ of Taylor and Kinsey.
Bear child Bird doesn't know how many times stronger than them.
Although it is understandable, teenagers have a lot of... things to do and are not very interested in magic or the like.
But you all have such a magical key, do you just want to make fun of people or be negatively decadent?
Of course, these magical designs are indeed exquisite:
Mirror key, mind key, match key, repair key, master key, identity key, ghost key, music box key, memory key, shadow key, echo key, and the most critical Omega key.
The devil wanted to snatch them away and use them to harm the world.
But the Locke family basically didn't do anything to guard the keys, except for their younger brother Bird.
His setting is a bear kid and the first person to discover magic.
Although he is also afraid of the "Girl in the Well", when danger comes, he has been thinking of ways to escape the predicament .
Borrowed a "weapons" to deal with Dodge, although it failed;
Repeatedly warned the careless Taylor and Kinsey;
Discuss with your new friend how to deal with Dodge...
All this is not the chaos of children, but it starts with a wish:
He wanted to use these magic keys to see Dad again .
However, it is no longer possible.
Even if the key is restored, Randal cannot be brought back to life.
If you don't treat it as a suspenseful fantasy drama, maybe "Fatal Key" will be a good life drama.
Tell the story of how a family walked out of the shadows step by step after losing their husband and father .
Faced with the death of her lover, mother Nina went from repeatedly drinking to paralyze herself, to finally cheer up and gather the children together;
Kinsey indulged in the pain of not being able to save his father,
In the end, Taylor told him that she didn't come forward because she wanted to protect her brother. She was not a coward .
They went from chewing pain and embarrassment to finally willing to face each other hand in hand...
Although stupid all the way to the end, they still did an amazing thing.
Unite the new friends in the town to deal with the devil together.
Those estrangements and grievances from the past turned into smoke in a smile...
Magic may not be able to shut down the devil, but the human heart may be able to .
The big reversal of the final ending makes people look forward to the next season.
The reality is like this, the devil:
Children, you are still too tender~
