The combination of teenagers, children, violence, thriller, and Blizzard Villa mode is standard in today's horror movies. However, good configuration also has bad play, this "Tighten"... may still be too niche.
In the early stage, there were many ghosts foreshadowing, including the moody children, the godly chatter of the housekeeper, and the director's exquisite camera control, and there was always a feeling that the atmosphere was brought to the apex.
Girls who dare not go out, violent teenagers, butlers with many rules, huge manor, ability to communicate with the dead, you will feel that Floria Sergismondi is playing a big chess game, and finally don't talk about it. Even a thousand-year-old ghost would be sorry for the Blizzard Mountain Villa she had worked so hard to build.
As a result, like many domestic horror films, spiritual problems solve all problems, and fantasy is the source of all fears. A sentence "you have a mental problem" solves all the previous foreshadowing. But I would like to ask: what about the animals that were tortured to death by teenagers? What about the little girl who is afraid to go out? All fantasy? The heroine did not escape from the manor in death, but also because of illness? Oh, the omnipotent mental illness. And even if that's the case, is it really good to have the whole open ending?
It's not that it's not good to shoot like this. You see, the popular ones include "The Orphan" and "The Shining", and the minority ones include "Hide and Seek" and "Psycho". Pearls and jade are in the front, but they can't lead to excellent works. "Tighten" is like watching exquisite works. The version of "Someone Under the Bed", "The Weird Record of School Flowers"... how should I put it, the director is happy.
