As a horror film, the whole film is not particularly scary, the only scary place is probably the hood of the deformed boy. As his mother, if he changed the little boy into a better-looking headgear, the child would not be bullied like this.

For Simon's death, there can be two interpretations, one is an accident under various coincidences, and the other is an inevitable result caused by the games of the little ghosts. Do the ghost children in the movie really exist? It may also be Simon's own fantasy. The child discovers the secret room in the house by himself, fantasizes about his friend, and then gets trapped in it because of his mother's inadvertent. Of course, because the little ghosts played games and hid the heroine's favorite thing (Simon), but because the heroine found it too late, it is also a possibility that the child died.
