The shooting angles and lighting throughout the film are beautiful, and yes, I've never used aesthetics to describe a horror film. The whole film has no other superfluous colors, it is flat, and there is not too much blood and violence, but it has a deep impression that most of the horror films I have seen cannot bring me. Dim street lights, thick white snow, a voyeuristic little boy, the pale and delicate profile of a vampire loli, the snowflakes falling from the broken skylight above the swimming pool, the self-destructive old man quietly offering his arteries on the hospital windowsill , the shy expressions of the hero and heroine when they pass the message through the wall, ...
This is not a horror movie, but a love story, the difference is that the heroine will never grow old, and the hero, will not Stop changing...
A little boy fell in love with a vampire girl, so he was willing to kill for her, for her hands covered in blood, for her to grow old, he took her, and used various identities and relationships to cover up the relationship between the two, from Couple, brother, to father, when others think he is her father, what kind of pain should he feel in his heart! But one day, she will fall in love with other little boys, and he will grow old, become numb and tired of killing and fleeing, and finally usher in his own ending.
Finally, the little boy took the vampire in the box and started a journey of escape, and such a journey, for a vampire girl, was by no means the last. It's like it's back to where it started, and it's never going to end...
