No matter what kind of horror movie it is, whether there are ghosts or not, Crusoe or a serial killer, videotape for life or castle horror, the protagonist must be trapped in a disordered environment that cannot be controlled, adjusted or even called for help. Help the protagonist, the horror must be greatly reduced.
Take The Shining, for example, a family of three guards the hotel. The father is hellish and the son is schizophrenic. Horror atmosphere.
The beginning of this film is very good. Several children read the scarecrow, and the scarecrow is not only an important supporting role in The Wizard of Oz, but also a must-have item in the fields of various countries. It must be related, unfortunately.
Less than halfway through the movie, the little boy disappeared, the mother began to search frantically, and the children's rescue agency and the police also came. There were about a dozen people around, plus the children at the party. It is conservatively estimated that there are more than 20 tricks in the movie. , and it is not the kind of trick that can go crazy at any time, but a normal sober trick. With so many normal people accompanying, the heroine is not isolated and helpless, and her life has not fallen into a disorderly and uncontrollable place.
As the core of the film, the little boy revealed that he had AIDS in the first few minutes. Although it aroused the sympathy of the audience, it also reduced some suspense. What if he learned of his life and illness and ran away from home? What if the adoptive father finds him troublesome and tries to get him away? Horror supernatural film becomes a crime ethics film in seconds?
The ending is too warm. It is not the warmth that the rest of the life has tried so hard to get, but the warmth that the father showed to compromise his life. The adopted son of AIDS died, and the neurotic prodigal women committed suicide. In the future, I can marry another wife and have a healthy life. The biological baby, I admit that I have a dark mentality, but the ending really made me think so.
Many netizens compare this film with "Silent Hill", but "Silent Hill" is a tall religious film. The little girl is the incarnation of the devil, and the background is very scary. No.
