First, give a definition, this is a more realistic literary film containing thriller and horror elements. But what is unexpected is that if it weren't for the evil spirits, what kind of ability does a child have that can make people restless and scream? This is where the plot brings us questions. There is really something

wrong with Esther, the orphan in the movie... This kind of suspense that is not right makes Esther repeatedly challenge our moral conscience and love, a cleverness. How does a clever 12-year-old girl equate with the horror and trembling? Is her behavior because of the too narrow standards of our world, or is the film technique once again using the characteristics of spectacle and illusion to drag the plot into a non-realistic ghostly reincarnation? This kind of suspense can probably be explained in the first half of the movie. For the rest, the audience has an omniscient view of the danger of the role. Step by step, watching the confused mother in the movie and the father who always idealizes naive thinking. How to be introduced into the process of family disintegration by a series of tricks. This technique is very Hitchcock-like. The most frightening thing about the film is that the audience is constantly worried and afraid for the character, which leads to the sudden worst situation and can’t help but scream, like a nightmare come true. fear.

However, there is not all that is wrong about Esther. The first half of the movie explains the danger of the character, but leaves the doubts that people most want to know until the end is revealed. In fact, when Esther’s secret is discovered Time, therefore, the key point that the plot can be perfectly explained. This allows the audience's psychological and moral burden to be relieved, because everything has a stable and reasonable cause and effect, which is quite suitable for audiences who don't like to see confused. It's just that the morally correct sympathy in the play can be liberated. When we encounter similar problems outside the play, what kind of compassion should we hold?

This movie is really a rare good movie. Among the many thrillers this year, it should be in the ranks of first-class movies. Compared with those Asian horror movies that purely scare people with ghosts, challenge visual stimulation and psychological endurance, this The movie i brought us not only a hint of chill, but also the expansion of the content that made people think about many issues, so that kind of horror would last a long time. At least after I finished watching, I didn't fall asleep at night, not because I was scared, but the instinctive fear brought about by the plot is suffocating!

Five stars, absolutely belong to you.
