He thought that the missing Simon would eventually return to Laura's side, but at the end, he saw his weak body falling to his death under the stairs of the dark room, like a discarded piece of cloth. Suffering from AIDS, he would not live long, but it was unexpected that it was not the disease that took his life, but a mistake made by his mother who loved him dearly. Laura, like many mothers, loves their children, but doesn't know how to love them. While refusing to listen to their voices again and again, she gradually loses their hearts. Children's hearts are sensitive, and every bit of neglect from their parents will make them feel lonely.
There is also a mother in the film who was a childcare worker in an orphanage a long time ago. When her child accidentally drowned because of the tricks of other children, her maternal love turned into a frantic hatred. She killed several children who were not yet sensible, and cruelly put them into sacks and threw them into the dark room, and even counted them. Ten years later, he still intends to destroy the evidence here.
What kills people is often not a physical disease, but a lack of emotional support and a distorted psychological barrier. This is the reason why most thrillers make people tremble, and it is the resonance and reflection they hope to get.
