Ice and snow horror movies, religious atmosphere, an isolated room, the inner opposition and change among several people on an isolated island. The combination of these elements made me look forward to "The Country House" at first. It is a pity that although the film still works hard on the script, the scenes are also used to create the atmosphere in a decent way. However, the story is told, it seems that there is nothing. It was too suspenseful, and not enough to be terrified. After seeing it, I just felt that I had to educate the bear children and live in the underworld every day. I accidentally killed myself.
Spoiler alert
The story starts with the suicide of her mother Laura, Laura, who is gradually estranged from her husband Richard, lives alone with her two children Aidan and Mia, when Richard tells Laura that she is about to marry Grace , Laura couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide.
The two children who lost their mothers have been unable to have a good impression of their future stepmother. In order to bring the family members closer, their father Richard took the family to a big house in the suburbs to play at Christmas, left by himself, and stayed behind. Grace and the two children hope that they can gradually get acquainted with each other in their daily relationship, and abandon their previous suspicions.
However, things did not go as smoothly as Richard or Grace imagined. The children did not cooperate and mentioned the deceased mother all the time, and Grace herself was also suffering from the nightmare caused by the trauma of the past. middle.
Then one day when I woke up, blizzard suddenly arrived. All electricity, communications were down. What's more disturbing was that almost everything in the house suddenly disappeared. Grace tried to go out for help, but there was no way to escape. Then she found some faint evidence, which seemed to be announcing the news that they had died. Grace collapsed completely after seeing Aidan, who was hanged and did not die. She thought that she had come to the purgatory of the underworld, and the only way of salvation was atonement.
All of this is actually an illusion created by the two children to tease Grace, but when they found out that they had grown up playing, any attempt to redeem them was useless. In the end, Grace killed her father Richard and brought With two children, they came to the end of life.
The most interesting thing in the movie is the two reversals. Once Grace woke up and found that all the items had disappeared. Then Aidan told her that she had a nightmare in which everyone was suffocated and poisoned by gas, and then all the electricity. Communication was cut off, and roads were blocked by heavy snow, and no one could ask for help. Grace, who had no pills to relieve her mental symptoms, was determined to go on foot to ask for help, but after walking around, she returned to the original point.
At this time, the audience vaguely felt something was wrong, but at this time they still only felt that a few people might have been teased by supernatural abilities (or Grace's sleepwalking did so many things).
But then, several people found the photos of the two children in the snow, and finally found a newspaper with the date of their deaths. Then Aidan went to hang himself but did not die. All this shows that the three people have actually died, just because They didn't realize that or because of the heavy sins, they didn't really go to the underworld, but stayed in the overlapping layers of the sun and the underworld. This is very similar to the plot of "Small Island" or "Sixth Sense", the living person is dead, but they don't know it.
However, the plot soon ushered in a second reversal after Grace had a mental breakdown. The two children went down to the basement and found all the hidden objects. It turned out that everything was a plan for the two bear kids to rectify Grace (of course, printing out a newspaper with obituaries, making a lot of large prints in the snow, and emptying everything in the room all night is also pretty hard work), but When the two children tried to reveal the truth to Grace, they found themselves trapped in the lies they had created. The generator could not be started, the battery of the mobile phone was exhausted, and they could not contact outsiders, and Grace was enlightened. In response to the anomaly, the two bear children dug their graves.
Although Grace eventually had a mental breakdown and became the murderer, in truth, Grace is actually the most tragic character in the movie. When she was a child, she had a father who was the leader of a cult. Because she believed in the Bible too much, she never satisfied any wishes of her daughter. After the leader and father chose to commit suicide collectively, she was the only member who survived against her father’s order, but she also As a result, I was traumatized and had to continue to take medication.
At this time, the relationship with Richard is a relatively beautiful development, but no matter how hard she tries, the two children are unwilling to admit her, accept her, and eventually even use such a scam in the underworld to make her think she has fallen. Purgatory, had to follow in his father's footsteps and atonement for himself. She is the poorest person, because she had a chance to return to normal, and she was also trying to swim towards the light, but this effort was destroyed by two bear children.
So, don't look at some people doing the underworld work one after the other, it looks interesting, but it is the result of these professionals' hard work.
Ordinary people learn how to imitate the cat and imitate, often overturning in the gutter, the work in the underworld is not done well, and they go into the underworld.
