22.02.27N brush, I still like it very much, the atmosphere is very good, it is a warm and sad story about going home. The wandering child who travels far never forgets the joy of childhood, but he does not know that behind it is a grievance and pain that has been buried for decades; the childhood playmate has not been able to get rid of it, and repays the sin of childishness; the young silent mother lost her beloved son, and in the old days Nian still pushes the doll through the streets lonely and misses the lost relatives. The spooky doll turned out to be a help from a playmate. Simon had just fallen down. If the mother could solve the puzzle immediately, she might be able to save the child. It's a pity to think. But ten months later it's too late... I hope they can have their own happiness, just like Nicole's "Frightening Island", I wish the ghosts can also find peace and happiness in another world. 20.02.24 Revisited and sighed again that this is a good story. The foreshadowing made in the first 20 minutes was used one by one when solving the puzzle. Every line was meaningful, and there was almost no waste. The game of who set the door handle can also be interpreted differently. Not to mention superb acting and emotional appeal, would be one of my horror movie favorites.

    This movie has a fairytale lighthouse, a quiet sea and a tender mother's love. There is no direct ghost picture. A very human horror movie.

    Fairly smooth, a little exaggerated in some places.
