As a horror movie, it should be considered qualified. The horror atmosphere of the whole film is rendered properly, the dark and light switch, and the rendering of the tense atmosphere are all done well. The plot is clichéd one after another, making me think I was watching "Reaper is Coming 6", but this time the method of death has changed, and it has become a body, a grudge, and a reason to kill, and there are also Named Sarah.
The year set in the story is the period of Nixon and the Vietnam War. The retro tone of the film is very comfortable to watch. The Vietnam War that year enlisted American soldiers on a large scale, and many people did not come back after they went. At this time, it coincided with the Halloween heroine and a group of 6 people broke into a gloomy mansion, and then found a horror story book, as if this book was written in blood every time, a story has been written, and the story corresponds Will disappear according to the method in the book, so the heroine’s friends are taken away one by one. Later, they discovered that Sarah who died in the house had hanged himself because of poisoning the children in the small town. But after a series of investigations and visits, the heroine and the heroine discovered that Sarah was actually trying to save the children. The murderers were Sarah's family in the paper mill that put mercury in the water. In the film, Sarah's family always emphasized telling the truth when they tortured her, but in fact the people who really lied were themselves. What's interesting is that in the TV broadcast at the beginning of the play, there is always a voice emphasized: "Because we have soldiers, our country will be strong, so we have to defend the glorious cause." And in the two protagonists and their friends chuck go to mental illness In the car during the investigation of the hospital, another voice said on the radio: "Reject the war and the Vietnam War, and refuse to send our children to death." There are also two voices. The people back then chose to believe in a paper mill rather than Sarah. , So who is the one telling the truth now? In fact, the metaphor of the film is already obvious here.
The final ending is very good, it is difficult to see the ending of Li Gui compromise and leave peacefully. So let go of each other like this, but Sarah, who seeks the truth and liberation, is not really evil. After the heroine sent away the hero, she also decided to not give up like Sarah back then, and firmly find her friends back. Come, this can be regarded as adding a warm ending to this old-fashioned storyline. The whole play does not break out of the horror film routine, but because the background of the Vietnam War is combined, the story is extended while being completed, so the impression is not bad, but it is also because the reversal is not new. At the beginning of the content, I will guess one or two, without the horror and mystery of the horror film.
