A lot of spoiler analysis, be careful! ! ! ! ! !
[The following film reviews are composed of a large number of online film reviews from unknown sources, which have been sorted out and combined with some of my understanding for improvement]
Summary of the story:
Laura grew up in an orphanage, probably because of her relatively healthy body, she was later caught by a family. Adopted and left the orphanage. And her playmates were left in the orphanage because of physical health problems and no one adopted them. Soon, several children in the orphanage discovered Tomas, who was born with an ugly facial deformity. They stole Tomas's hood and placed him in a cave on the beach. Tomas went to the cave to find his mask. , But never came out [I think that Tomas’s death was because he entered the cave to look for a mask, but he never found it. Later, due to the high tide, the cave was isolated as an island, there was no way to escape, and he drowned in the cave].
Tomas’s mother Benigna was a female worker who worked in the orphanage, and she used chronic poison to kill 5 children in the orphanage. [5 children died slowly and painfully. This part can be found from the psychic entering the children’s room and found that they were tortured to death. ], and dismembered their bodies, mixed with alkaline chemicals and put them in large pockets, and hid them in the walls of the church hall, but they left some traces (such as broken brackets for disability, and skull remains). .
Since then, Benigna has left the orphanage and remains anonymous. She has been deeply tortured by the pain of losing her son. She made a Tomas-like rag doll and put it in a stroller, pushing the stroller to the town for a walk like a real baby.
Many years have passed. Laura, who is already married, returned to the orphanage with the help of her husband, and plans to rebuild the abandoned orphanage to take care of the unhealthy orphans. Laura and her husband also adopted an orphan, Simon, who was born with HIV. (Simon didn't know that he was an orphan and was infected with HIV, but knew that he had to take medicine every day.). In the process of rebuilding the orphanage, the old beds have been renewed, many rooms have been repainted, and a lot of new furniture has been added. It took several weeks, but under calm, the restless soul was restless.
Simon has a few imaginary friends, only he can see, no adults can see. But my dad didn’t care, he just said casually, “He just wanted to go where there are friends to play with them.” (This sentence is a pun.)
Benigna came to visit as a community volunteer with information about Simonb’s condition. Laura. (The information should have been stolen through Email) Benigna suggested that Simon should be treated better but was rejected by Laura. [Actually, Benigna wanted to find a job at Laura’s house, and took the opportunity to destroy the traces left behind to prevent her crime from being exposed, so one day Laura discovered Benigna’s panic escape] Laura has been busy rebuilding the orphanage , Did not take Benigna to heart.
When Laura took Simon to play in the cave on the beach, it was obvious that Simon saw Tomas's soul and left behind a set of shells on the way home. These shells were piled up at the door of the orphanage the next morning. .
Simon drew 6 children's drawings (that is, Laura's 5 playmates and Tomas). Now Simon should have become good friends with them, but they are not sure of their names except Tomas.
The first coin game. Simon invented this game and found documents about his illness in the process [Although he did not read the documents, Simon has learned from 6 playmates that he is very ill and that he is an orphan adopted by his parents] .
On the day of the celebration banquet for the establishment of the orphanage, Simon wanted to play another game (including the doorknob and the cabinet containing his treasure. [It can be understood that the second game was actually originally prepared by Simon for his mother, and The ghost is okay. He wanted to play with his mother, but the mother ignored it. Later, the mother thought it was a game played by the ghost]) but his mother Laura completely ignored him and beat him. Simon was very aggrieved and angry, he didn't lock the door, and ran to the basement that he had discovered a long time ago. He put on the clothes and hood found in the basement (actually Tomas's clothes), and then frightened Laura in vengeance, then returned to the basement, waiting for his mother Laura to participate in his game and find him in person. [Actually, I personally think that it can also be understood that the child in the hood is actually Tomas's soul, because Tomas once lived in the basement, he threatened Laura maybe because of Tomas. Because Tomas was forcibly locked in the house by Benigna when he was a child. Alas, who made Tomas a poor deformity, his fate may be destined to be very miserable. ]
Laura Simon in the process of looking for inadvertently knocked down metal stent, the stent she repositioned good (unfortunately just stand blocked the cellar door). Because she couldn't find her son, Laura rushed to the beach frantically to find his son, and vaguely saw the figure of the child in the hood at the entrance of the cave. Because Laura didn't know Tomas, she thought it was Simon. Whether this is real or imagined, no one can explain it.
Simon soon realized that he was trapped in the basement, and he started banging on the wall. In the next few days, Laura heard these sounds, the sounds of Simon beating on the walls, and the sounds of Simon falling from the stairs that had been in disrepair for many years. But she did not organically connect these phenomena. Later she found the dolls but he didn't think it was related to Simon's doorknob game and Simon's disappearance.
Because of the car accident, the past of Tomas and Begnigna surfaced.
A psychic was invited to the orphanage to contact the souls of those children. The psychic said that they are not real ghosts, but just some "consciousness" left in this orphanage, which only certain people can touch. The psychic walked into the past children's room under hypnosis (the evidence is that the lighthouse was still on at that time and the furniture had not changed). But she didn't see Simon, probably because Simon had died in the basement, and the psychic did not go to the basement.
The psychic tells Laura that sometimes people who are dead and very advanced may see things that ordinary people can't see.
Laura continued to explore the doorknob game and found the bodies of the children killed by Benigna, but she still did not solve the mystery of her son's game.
Her husband advised Laura to leave the orphanage for a while, but Laura insisted that she stay alone in the orphanage for two days. She took a lot of drugs and restored the appearance of the children’s original room. She passed on the clothes of the female orphanage workers. She also picked the blackberries that everyone ate when she was a child. She let 5 dolls sit at the table and gave them each Blackberries were placed on each plate, which completely restored the scene when she was a child with five children.
What happens next may depend on everyone's own opinions, and no one can tell whether it is real or just imagination. Laura used the wood-man game that she played when she was a child to lead the children, and under the guidance of the children, they found the basement, followed the stairs and found Simon who was still alive. (In fact, the stairs were broken at this time, which can only explain Laura is already in a state of unconscious hypnosis, or to say that he has proved that the psychic, people who are close to death can see the "trace" left by those things that have passed away.)
When she woke up from the hypnotic state, she found that she was holding the body of her son in her arms, and she understood what was going on. She carried Simon back to the room where the children ate blackberries, took a lot of medicine, and put back the metal ornament that the husband gave her (indicating that she has recovered her dear son.) She saw it. With 5 friends and her son standing in front of her, Simon started telling stories to everyone. (Seeing Laura’s little friend stroking the grown-up Laura’s face, he said happily, "Ah, it’s Laura, come here soon." Everyone hugged each other, and smiled and told the story of Peter Pan. When I said that Laura really grew up, grew up like Wendy of Peter Pan, and got married, and Peter Pan was never growing up, I was so moved that I was crying. Only Laura left the orphan. The courtyard, out of this place like a magic cave, she has grown up. And the other children really can’t grow up anymore. These children are really pitiful, they don’t have a normal and healthy body, they can’t be like As other children grow up normally, let’s wish them all live on Peter Pan’s Never Island. They will never grow up like Peter Pan and live a happy life.)
At the end of the story, husband Came to worship the tombs of Laura and the children, and saw the metal ornaments left behind in the basement entrance, and he smiled. (He understands that his wife has found his son, so he smiles happily.)

Baidu Baike plot analysis:
Laura grew up in an orphanage, and on the day she was adopted, she and her five little friends were still playing together" "Wooden Man" game.
After Laura left, the other five children mischievously left Thomas alone in a cave by the sea while playing with the caretaker's deformed son Thomas. As a result, the sea rose and Thomas drowned. The five children were not punished because they were too young. Because of hatred, Thomas’ mother killed 5 children and bagged their bodies in a hole in the hut. When the protagonist watched the video, there was a scene of eating dessert in the screen, which should have poisoned everyone). And the ghosts of the children have been wandering and crying in this building.
Many years later, Laura returned to the orphanage with her husband and adopted son Simon. This is no longer an orphanage, but Laura wants to rebuild it on a small scale and continue to raise 5 or 6 orphans.
Simon is a child with HIV. As usual, his life may be very short. It was also because he was about to die soon, so he could see the ghosts of the children (according to the later "psychic" theory) and became friends with them (first Thomas in the cave by the sea, then 5 in the building) Children), and also learned about the secret passage in the storage room under the stairs and Thomas’ hut. Laura and her husband did not care about Simon's "nonsense".
Thomas' mother learned that the orphanage was going to be rebuilt and found Simon's information, posing as a social worker to inquire about the news. In order to destroy the evidence of the crime, she took a shovel to the hut at night, but the sound of the wooden door smashed into the hole awakened Laura. After being discovered by Laura, she fled in a hurry, but the badge on the collar was left beside the hole.
Simon played a game of treasure with the five children. The children hid his coins in the drawer where Laura concealed Simon's life and medical records.
Simon learned about himself from the documents and Thomas's mouth. He took his mother to play this game together, and according to the clues of the treasure hunt, he pulled his mother until he opened the drawer, implying that his mother already knew everything. After his mother was still dodging and not telling him the truth, he told the truth aloud. Mom and Dad talked to Simon to reassure him, but Simon began to doubt their love.
The party before the orphanage began to adopt the child was about to begin. Simon watched other children come to his home by the window, thinking that they might share his mother's love, and felt a little disappointed. At this time, his mother walked in and asked him to go downstairs to greet the guests, but Simon even wanted his mother to be with him, so he strongly urged his mother to go to see "Thomas' Cabin" with him first. Simon's request seemed to be troubling Laura, who was so busy, Laura slapped Simon in surprise. Simon covered his face, his eyes full of resentment. Mom left him and went down to entertain the guests by herself. Simon went to Thomas’ hut and changed into Thomas’ clothes and potato bag headgear.
Laura was worried about Simon and went back upstairs to look for him. Simon, wearing Thomas' clothes, appeared in front of his mother. He couldn't forgive her, so he pushed her down and locked the door, and hid himself in Thomas' cabin again.
Dad pried open the bathroom door, Laura rushed out, ignoring her injury, looking for Simon in the house. She found the storage room under the stairs, but did not find the secret passage on the wall, but piled the iron frame on the secret passage door. Simon in the secret road is trapped and can't get out.
Laura ran to the seaside cave where Simon had been, and saw Simon standing at the mouth of the cave that was immediately flooded by the tide. But in fact it was her illusion. His husband did not see anything, and the police did not find Simon in the cave.
In the evening, Laura, who was insomnia, heard some strange noises, and when she looked into the room from the crack of the door, there was a heavy muffled noise (the stairs in the secret road broke, and Simon fell and fell to death). Laura found a doll in her cot (actually representing herself, a clue to finding Simon).
Thomas' mother died in a car accident. From her photos and videos, Laura discovered that it was "Thomas" who pushed herself down that day (actually Simon was wearing Thomas' clothes).
Laura and her husband found a "spiritual medium", and the hypnosis result surprised everyone present. They heard the cry of the child. The light was too dark and the "psychic" did not find Simon, but the "psychic" told Laura: You are a great mother, as long as you believe it, you can see it She said it was the result of dealing with death).
Laura began to believe in the existence of ghosts following the prompts of the "spirit medium". She tried to talk to them, hoping to find Simon. A window behind him suddenly fell and glass shattered on the stool next to the window. The first clue appeared: there were 5 dolls in the box (Laura’s 5 friends, with obvious characteristics: lame, blind, braces, etc.) ). Following the clues, Laura found photos, roses, cloth strips, ice cream packaging, Simon's box, and a doorknob (actually the doorknob of the secret road). Laura took the doorknob and looked around for the clues it represented. When she came to the small house in the yard, she accidentally found the badge left by Mother Thomas, and then found the bones of five children in the hole in the wall. The truth about the children being killed by Thomas’s mother is finally revealed.
The husband could no longer bear the weirdness of this house and left. Laura insisted on staying for two days and continued to search for Simon. She rearranged the house as it was when she was a child, erected the scarecrow, rang the bell, and met her childhood friend. In the evening, Laura tried to play the game of "Wooden Man" in the room. After a few words, five children appeared one after another.
Laura chased one of the children to the storage room under the stairs, and finally found the last clue represented by the door handle, found the secret passage, and found Simon. When the illusion passed, Laura found that there was only a piece of cloth in her arms, and "Thomas" was lying face down on the ground not far away, with a broken staircase on it. Laura lifted the mask of "Thomas". Under the mask, it was her son Simon, who had been trapped in a secret room for 9 months after searching for 9 months and fell to his death for 9 months.
Desperate and self-blaming Laura sat in front of the window of the orphan's dormitory holding Simon's body, grabbed the amulet that her husband "lent" to her ("return to me when Simon found"), and committed suicide by taking medicine.
Outside the window, under the light of the distant lighthouse, Laura watched her as a child leave. Looking back, Simon and five other friends looked at her with a smile, the door opened, and Thomas walked in with a mask. In another world, the world of ghosts, the grown-up Laura takes care of the 7 children who will never grow up, and lives happily...

Questions and answers:
1. About the treasure game
When the treasure game first appeared, Simon (the protagonist little boy) told Laura (mother): "They hide your most important things and leave a clue. If you find it, you can make a wish." On the day of the party, Simon and Laura had a serious dispute [Laura did not want to go with Simon to see his so-called Thomas’ cabin]. After being slapped in the face by the unbearable Laura, she decided to retaliate against his mother-her most beloved Hide things! So he hid in Thomas' hut and left clues. Once his mother was willing to find him in his way, he successfully took her to Thomas' hut (what a wayward child ==). So in the end Laura found Simon’s body and cried out: “No, it’s not fair!” Of course, there are guilt and regret for discovering the truth, but there are also “I finished the game, give me back my most important things”. mean. So she made a wish and asked to be with Simon. The persistent mother finally gave up her life to find her beloved son. The light of the beacon lighted up again, and the trapped soul was frozen in the past time, the wish came true, and the mother and son were finally reunited.
At the beginning of the film, Simon's wish after discovering the coin is to keep his mother from getting old and take care of herself like Wendy (the character in Peter Pan). In the end, his wish was fulfilled, and even death could not separate them.
Laura also has another wish. As an orphanage, she has always hoped to set up a family-style charity to adopt and take care of 5 or 6 children. In the end, her wish came true. In addition to her son, there are a group of friends who need her care.
So this ending can be said to satisfy everyone's wishes. Probably such a reunion in reality is really rare, so the film puts the happy ending in the illusion after death, and the screenwriter is really a pessimistic person.

2. Regarding the smile of Laura's husband (forgot her name) at the end
At the end of the film, after Laura's husband picked up the necklace, a ghost wind blew the door open, and he looked at the sunny place ahead with a comforting smile. Some people say that he laughed because he found the necklace and knew that his wife had found his son (when he gave the necklace to Laura, he said, "Wait for you to find Simon and return it to me"), so he laughed. Is it just because of this? He had already paid homage to their graves in the previous scene, so the bodies of Laura and Simon had been discovered long ago, and there is no need to explain them specifically at the end of the film. And if he is smiling because of this, he should be smiling at the necklace, not looking ahead. Therefore, he must have seen something.
Let’s find the foreshadowing in the film—one day a group of people who have lost their loved ones gather together to pour out their pain and seek solace from each other. ") When asked about anyone who has seen the soul of a loved one, many people raised their hands. One of the mothers also described: "She stood there and smiled at me. I know she wants to tell me that she is fine now. It's safe." Let's go back to the end of the film-the mystery is solved. The husband who loved his wife saw Laura and Simon appearing with the ghost wind. They smiled at him and told him: We are fine now, and we are safe. Thus, the comforted husband showed a moving smile.

Three, how did Simon die?
Starved to death? Died after taking the medicine? Let's observe his death: head down. Observe the surrounding environment: the stairs are damaged. Recall the loud noise Laura heard. Adding all of these together, it is not difficult to guess the truth. Laura discovered this too, so the previous fragment flashed in her mind: She accidentally blocked the exit door with a hoe. After the party, Simon waited for his mother in Thomas’ hut for a long time. The hungry and lonely Simon decided to give up the game, but he suddenly found himself trapped inside and couldn’t get out. He cried, slapped, yelled, but everything To no avail-Laura was injured on the beach, and was accompanied by her husband in the hospital bed to cooperate with the police investigation. The police were focused on searching for the cave and would not go to her house at all-so late at night, exhausted, panicked and desperate Simon tried to knock open the door, but the stairs were too narrow and old. The huge rebound force made him fall head-down down the stairs. He fainted and never woke up.
Laura who discovered the truth was overwhelmed with great pain and guilt, and she couldn't forgive herself. Ever since he slapped his son, he has been blaming himself, but now he is actually pushing him to death with his own hands! Deep despair is also an important reason for her choice to commit suicide.

Fourth, is the kid wearing a headgear at the party Simon?
When Laura finally found Simon’s body, he put on Thomas’ headgear, so the situation is likely to be like this: Simon put on Thomas’s clothes and headgear after discovering Thomas’s cabin, and after being slapped, he was wronged in the hallway. Up weeping. Laura found him and wanted to uncover his headgear, but Simon didn't intend to forgive his mother just like that. He decided to retaliate against her and hide her most beloved thing, so he angrily locked his mother in the bathroom. Leave the game clues to buy time.
Why did the kind and lovely Simon become so perverse and irritable? Apart from being beaten and neglected, are there other reasons? Let us recall the scene when Simon was angry with his mother for the first time-when he discovered his condition. The young Simon was full of fear of death, and the uninterrupted pills made him very disturbed. He didn't want to be left alone in the dark, so he imagined that he would not grow up (deeply mentally, he would not die) Peter Fan. The weak body bears so much pain and fear, and its behavior is manifested as uncontrollable perverse and irritable.
Some people think it can't be Simon, but Thomas, because the kid in the hood hurt Laura's finger. Actually, this was not intentional-the door was closed to lock Laura, and the injury was an accident. The furious Simon wore a headgear that obstructed his vision, and clashes at the door. It is common for him to pinch his fingers, perhaps he didn't even realize it.
Although Thomas in the film is trapped in the shadow of horror and evil, we find that he is actually a shy and kind-hearted child, and he never even hates to tease his little friends. The paintings on the walls of Thomas' hut are also warm scenes of friends having fun together, and there is no trace of evil. And Thomas has no reason to hurt Laura.
In fact, it is not only Thomas who is misunderstood, but also those invisible friends. The brilliance of the film is this kind of suspense, which makes Laura have the illusion that Thomas hurt herself, teaches Simon badly, and hides Simon with other invisible friends. Putting the ghost on the back, the original victim was misunderstood as the perpetrator, but it turned out to be a cocoon.


5. Why can Laura finally come into contact with ghosts?
As a normal person, why can Laura finally come into contact with ghosts like psychics? Let us recall the conditions of psychic channeling: 1. It needs to connect to the past as a medium; 2. It is close to death (the proof that the psychic’s arm is dying, Simon can only see his shadow friends because he has AIDS).
Therefore, in order to meet these two conditions, first, Laura restored the orphanage to its former appearance, put on the clothes of the former childcare worker, and played the previous game; second, in order to get close to death, Laura was preparing Swallowed some pills (most likely sleeping pills) after everything. After both conditions were met, the past and present space overlapped and intersected, and she finally got the help of her friends to figure out the truth.

Six, the whistle on the chest of the old woman.
The most terrifying shot in the film is when Lara pulls the whistle on the chest of the old lady, the undead old lady suddenly returns and grabs Lara's hand. Why does she take this whistle so seriously? In European tradition, a silver whistle can summon ghosts on the seashore. The thoughtful old lady tried to use it for solace. She has been living in the great grief of losing her son, and the dolls representing her son are also placed in the cart. From the very beginning, she tried to protect Thomas by keeping him simple and wearing a headgear to avoid others' ridicule, teasing and unnecessary harm. In fact, her cruelty and evil are also due to the deep maternal love: the deep the love, the deep the hatred of revenge.


Remaining questions:
1 Question:
At the beginning of the film, Laura's flashlight only showed the footprints facing inwards, but not out. I don't know why. Some people say that Simon went in, and Thomas came out (the ghost has no footprints), and it seems that they can't connect with the story behind. Hope the expert advises.
Possible answer: The
footprints were left by Thomas when he hid in the cave, and later drowned after the high tide of the sea. (But you can also question that what was left in the past must have been washed away.)


2 Question:
Why did the old woman come to Laura at the beginning? I think many people say that she entered this house because she wanted to deal with what she killed. The bones of five children, but she killed them for so long. Why didn't she deal with them after so many years?
I didn't figure it out? What is the old woman doing there?

3 Question:
Where Simon is hiding, after seeing Laura find Simon’s body at the end, Laura inadvertently blocked the door with some debris that looked like heavy iron pillars while looking for Simon. Simon couldn't get out and died trapped inside. But when Laura just found the place, the wallpaper was clearly intact. Laura tore the wallpaper and then plugged the doorknob in before entering. Then how did Simon get in before and the wallpaper will automatically be intact?
Answer:
There is a hole in the paper. Then Luo La teared the paper because she didn't know it was the keyhole. So torn a bit. Otherwise, if you see the hole, you will know that it is a door lock and it will look fake.


4 Question:
On the day when Laura hosted a party to welcome the children, Simon put on his headgear and pushed Lara into the room, why did she pinch Laura's fingers so badly that her nails were all pinched out? The child just wanted to make peace Mom, having fun together won’t make it so heavy, right?
Possible answer:
Some people think that it cannot be Simon, but Thomas. The reason is that the kid in the hood hurt Laura's finger. Actually, this was not intentional-the door was closed to lock Laura, and the injury was an accident. Simon, who was furious, wore a headgear that obstructed his vision, and clashes at the door. It was common to pinch his fingers.

5 Questions:
At 49 minutes and 10 seconds of the movie, when Laura learned about Thomas, she turned over and went to sleep, and then featured something on her bed, but later found out that it was not her husband, so what was this guy who got on the bed?
Possible answer:
Simon’s ghost, based on the fact that Simon was dead at that time and Simon liked to sleep with his mother.

6. Question:
Simon designed the game to let Laura go to Thomas' cabin (basement). The last clue is the door handle hidden in the wooden box. Before Laura finally entered the basement, she inserted the door handle and turned it to open the door, feeling that the door handle had the function of a key. So how did Simon enter the basement again after removing the door handle and hiding it?
Possible answer:
Simon can not close the door tightly, open a small slit or even hold something to close the door, and then hide in after putting the things in. It can be seen from Laura that the things inside the door are messed up as soon as Laura opens the door. I didn't get into this utility room very much, or Simon leaned things against the inside of the door at random after entering.
7. Question:
Why can Laura see the ghost?
Possible answer:
One: In fact, Laura also suffers from AIDS. The cause is unknown. but. When Laura invited the inner psychic woman, the inner woman hurt the blisters on Laura's arm. That is a symptom of people in the late stage of AIDS. So Laura is also a dying person, so he can also see the soul. There is one more point to be formal. Later, when Laura prepared food for the soul children to recreate the scene, he became angry and said that he had no time. It may also prove this (when she said that there was "no time", it should be Laura who agreed to her husband that she would leave the orphanage two days later). (One said: The arm of the psychic had a problem. She showed it to Laura to let her understand that the reason she was able to see the 6 children was because she was dying. And Laura showed pain, because she was dressed up before. Simon, who became Thomas, squeezed her fingernails out of the bathroom door)
Second: Laura is only more sensitive (although in the movie it is only said that she is dying to be able to feel a big ghost), Laura finally took a lot of drugs to achieve her dying.


Another explanation is completely innocent:
the kid with the linen mask should be dressed by the old lady called Simon. Simon should have known directly or indirectly from the old lady that he was not Laura's own.
That old lady is the mother of the deformed child.
In order to conceal the fact that she killed those children, the old lady had to do a series of horrible incidents to tell Laura's family to move away.
Others can make far-fetched explanations of "illusions."
Simon, the child adopted by Laura, is an AIDS carrier. Because he was lonely and lonely since he was a child, he often saw hallucinations, such as seeing some children playing with him! And Simon discovered Thomas’ hut by accident. Simon found everything about Thomas in the hut, paintings, old clothes, and headgear. Simon felt that their experience was very similar (despised experience), so they became "friends." Thomas is actually the "son of the old lady" who has been dead for 30 years. Thomas is a deformed child. Because he is often laughed at, he can only take the headgear. A few children in the orphanage took off Thomas' headgear 30 years ago. Thomas hid in the cave and never came out. Thomas died when the water rose! In order to take revenge, the "old lady" pretended to be volunteers sneaking into the orphanage and killing six children, and hid the bodies in lime!
When Simon was going to the cave with Laura, Simon had an illusion and saw Thomas! At this time, Laura came in and told Simon to go, and found a line of fuzzy footprints on the ground, which Thomas had left 30 years ago! After returning, Simon himself invented a game "treasure hunt". The purpose may be simple and just for fun. (Laura asked Simon if he put the sand. Simon didn't deny it, just smiled. It can be seen that the game was designed by himself. In fact, Simon has overheard that he is not Laura's biological child, so he has become even more melancholy!
When Laura was having a party, Simon wanted to tell his mother that Thomas’ cabin, but Laura didn’t care about him and slapped him. Simon was very aggrieved and ran past Thomas’ cabin and put on Thomas’ clothes. Put on his headgear and come out to get Laura's attention! The purpose is to want Laura to participate in the game he designed (find her baby) and hide in Thomas' hut, but Laura did not find the hut, but accidentally blocked the door of the hut! Laura thought Simon was in the cave, so she went to find him, but it was all her hallucinations! At night, Laura heard the sound of Simon hitting the door. At this time, Simon did not knock open the door, but fell off the stairs and died!
Nine months later, Laura accidentally entered the game designed by Simon, and found the bodies of 6 children, and found the bodies of Simon, and died after learning the truth! In fact, Laura's nerves were also hallucinated, so she saw the 6 children!

    I don’t like this chaotic setting. Simon has HIV. It can be understood that he can see the soul, Tomas and Laura, and his five childhood friends just want to play with Simon. The partner’s tricky game harmed Tomas, which led to the revenge of T’s mother.

    There are two scenes in the film that made me panic for a moment and my heart beat fast! ! The picture is exquisite, the soundtrack is exquisite, and the ending is quite discordant.
