This is a small-budget movie that discusses whether money matters or life matters.
It's not a ghost movie, but it's better than a ghost movie.
The three dead young people took a fancy to the money from the blind veterans, and the young people prepared to start at night. There is a family of lonely and widowed veterans nearby, which adds to the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. The male protagonist promised the female protagonist to help her once, which is a kind of infatuation. The second male is purely for money, an anarchist. It can be seen from the first theft that he took valuable things, smashed vases, took off his pants and urinated everywhere, not only greedy, but also against morality. The heroine, for the sake of her sister, even if there is a mother who does not earn money at home, the key is to raise three more, and life forced the heroine to embark on this road of no return.
Skip the plot, let’s talk about why this movie is so anticipated.
The film is also shot in a house, similar to conjuring, lurking, no one alive, etc. In terms of plot, it may be somewhat similar to Wu Sheng, and Wu Sheng is also about a group of local gangsters who have provoked people who shouldn't be provoked. However, the male protagonist who has not survived is in the dark, the dead punks are in the light, and the trend is bloody and violent, and it is reflected in the details.
As the saying goes, the details determine the success or failure of a movie. The biggest success of holding your breath is that the director captures the details of the veteran's "blindness". Although the veteran is blind, he can fight back through smell and hearing. Secondly, it is a wise move for the male protagonist to use washing machines and alarms to disturb the hearing of the veterans. Since you can't be brave, you can outsmart it. In addition, the veteran has a vicious dog with a very high IQ, which is enough to kill the young man in seconds. The veterans turned off the lights in the basement, leaving the male and female protagonists in a difficult situation, aren't you squeamish? Now it seems that you are just a turtle in a urn. These details can indicate the characteristics of the film, and can highlight the meaning of the title.
Since the heroine is for money, why should she take the risk, miss the opportunity to escape time and time again, and get her life in dire straits. Is money more important, or life is more important.
Personally, I believe that life is precious, and money is no longer earned. People can be poor, but they can't steal or rob, and they can't take their own lives for the rest of their lives to be unsafe. Sometimes, being poor is really scary, you can do things that are beyond conscience, you can treat the law as rubbish, and ignore humanity. There is only one life, good or bad, depends on you.
