      The child is angry, it really takes "life"

      [Introduction movie review: spoilers throughout, read carefully]

      The beginning of the film is not slow, but the rhythm is slow, suitable for friends who do not have horror movie watching genes.

      Produced by Netflix, it is still worth looking forward to.

      A lot of holes were dug, but not all of them were filled...

      As far as the script is concerned, it's really cleverly conceived, and every plot point is very good. It seems to be a simple and conventional trend, but there is an unexpected reversal. I thought it was a split personality, a doctor's conspiracy, but I didn't expect this kind of broken The reversal of the dimension wall is really impressive, so at first after knowing the truth, I couldn't believe it, and the persuasiveness felt a bit far-fetched, but when I think about the overall plot, it...

      Does prayer work?

      [Rose] [Niu Niu Movie Review: Confinement Boy]

      "ELI=LIE"

      Sometimes, when you start to pray, the answer may not come from God, but from Satan. The devil always comes into the world with one lie after another. Use any means to achieve an end. The plot reversal is quite interesting, and at the end I found out that the film turned out to be an exorcism film. Satan came to the world and used lies to tempt mankind to breed demons for them. At the end of the film, the devil finally...

      A non-technical explanation

      The reason why the reversal of this movie makes some people feel a little blunt is that its foreshadowing and clues are too flat, too "normal", and too difficult to find. In fact, it is not that there is no foreshadowing, but that when these forgings are peeled off piece by piece, they do not reveal a little bit of the truth inside, but only reveal the possibility that we can guess, and the real truth is still difficult to grasp.

      Perhaps this is the reason for the...

      save the poor child

      Doctor = Yang Yongxin

      parents = superstitious parents

      child = helpless and innocent child

      Hospital = Electroshock Therapy Treatment Center

      The movie seemed to take me on a trip to Yang Yongxin's "Electrical Shock Therapy Treatment Center for Internet Addiction". Nezha, this inborn devil can be educated into, man, why can't the son of Satan be? Is Western Cultural Prejudice That Big?

      Prejudice in people's heart is a big mountain, no matter how hard you try, you...

      The boy had an air allergy, and his parents asked a pervert doctor to treat him in the villa. There were ghosts in the villa, and many children were killed. The ending of the Devil's Son was quite...

      It is a new Netflix film of good quality. The little boy's acting skills exploded, and it was almost his own one-man show. The script was fascinating and progressive, and the truth could not be explored until the end. The airtight play structure caused a lot of speculation. , and later found that the advancement of reality can be regarded as a service for the reversal, and everything you see is logical. Although it is cliché, it is still a model of small cost. It has transformed from a weak...

      I prefer the translated name of Nightmare Clinic. During the viewing process, I constantly debated whether the doctor was lying and whether what Eli saw was real or not. The ending is reversed again, and the clean ending can win...
