I have been watching old movies recently, and today I searched the Internet for a movie released in 2020, and it was considered a new movie. However, what has changed little is that this movie is still a horror movie, it belongs to the gray series.
The first sentence of the movie surprised me a little, and the first sentence came: "The world is not made of atoms".
I thought he'd say other things next, like discovering things smaller than atoms? Unexpectedly, he went on to say that "the world is made up of stories".
Well, let's go to the story together. Turning over the old books and pushing the wheel of history, we went to Crow Tail Town in 1804, the origin of the story.
However, the picture in the movie is not like it was in 1804, but more like a city now, with little boys riding bicycles, cars on the streets, and buses flowing endlessly. Is there any secret?
The little boy was a newspaper boy, and he threw out the newspapers skillfully on a bicycle, but this child threw it too casually. At the gate and on the lawn, he just threw it out.
Finally, the little boy rode his bicycle into the forest path and arrived at the door of a large building. The newspaper at the door has not been picked up for a long time, and it fell under the letter box, looking so decadent.
The little boy, carrying a camera, walked to the door and pressed the doorbell. After the doorbell rang, there was no movement. The little boy curiously opened the teleportation port on the door and looked in. It was too dark to see anything. So he used the camera to take pictures inside, but he caught a pair of eyes. The little boy was so frightened that he hurried back to dodge, but the camera rope was stuck on the door.
At this moment, the door opened, and a man who looked like a priest appeared at the door. The little boy turned and ran, the priest said: Your camera has fallen. But the little boy turned around and scolded "weird" and quickly fled.
Who is this old priest and why does he look so creepy?
Then the priest presided over a memorial service for a child, but obviously, he did not preside well. When it was time to be sober, he even gave an impassioned speech, which made the following relatives and audience very inexplicable.
When everyone left and there was only one priest left in the church, he found a strange phenomenon. One of the books he put away actually "walked" out of the bookshelf. He put the book back again, but he felt that someone was walking behind him, so he went to say hello, but the book "walked" out again.
It was a beautiful woman who came in. She walked to the coffin. The boy from the memorial service just now should be in the coffin. What does this beauty have to do with the little boy?
At this time, the priest introduced himself. It turned out that he was not a priest, but a funeral director. What about the girl? It also had nothing to do with the deceased little boy. He actually came to apply for the job after seeing a sign hanging on the door of the funeral director.
The beautiful woman who applied for the job had a strong interest in this funeral home and asked the undertaker to tell her a twisted and dark story. So the undertaker opened a door and a story unfolded.
In the story, I thought it was a story about a boy chasing a girl, the boy was outside the door and the girl was inside. There is a toilet inside the door, and the girls will meet the boys on the balcony in ten minutes. Girls go to the toilet? What are you doing on the toilet?
You found out that the girl was a thief, took out three wallets, put the money in her arms, and discarded the wallet. There was also a pocket watch, she pondered it, and took it in her arms.
When the girl was about to go out, she found that there was a cabinet behind the vanity mirror, and it was locked and could not be opened. Could it be something good? Locks that cannot be opened are not a problem for thieves. But when the lock was opened, the lock was opened, but the hand was injured and bleeding.
The weird thing is that the door of the cabinet is locked by itself, but the girl doesn't believe in evil. I tried my best to open it, looked inside, I was terrified, there seemed to be a monster inside, I hurriedly closed the door, the monster pushed the door outside, closed the door with great effort, but did not dare to leave. Because she was afraid that as soon as she came, the monsters inside the door would come out to attack her.
When she tried to leave the cabinet door and quietly left, the pocket watch betrayed her. The pocket watch fell to the ground, and the sound alarmed the monster, who stretched out terrifying tentacles and grabbed her into the deep hole behind the cabinet.
After the story was told, the girl applying for the job was very dissatisfied. She thought that the story should have some turning points, or have some special meaning, or satire or retribution, etc.
The funeral director said the connotation of the story is "balance of all things", not only the girl applying for the job doesn't quite understand it, but I also don't understand it, what does it mean?
The mortician signs a job contract with the girl applying and then shows the girl around the building. The girl applying for the job was undoubtedly curious about many things, and she wanted to open the small coffin, but was blocked by the undertaker. The girl asked the mortician to tell another story. As a senior mortician, is there any shortage of horror stories?
So another story began, this time on a university campus, a handsome guy was giving a speech, and the theme turned out to be sexual openness. This dude is a master, and he joined a "fraternity" type organization whose purpose is to find more girls to sleep with.
After the impassioned speech, condoms were distributed, and another buddy was greatly encouraged by his speech, and went to find a subtle girl to confess. But the handsome guy who gave the speech also found out that this reserved and reserved girl is effective. She will get it done soon and make an appointment to attend a party in the evening.
The specific process is not written, this handsome guy has sex with a reserved girl, and this handsome guy is a pervert, and he doesn't even wear a condom. Well, bad luck came, at first it looked like a venereal disease, and then I went to the hospital for examination and the conclusion was that I was pregnant. What is the concept of pregnancy for a man?
In the end, the handsome guy finally found the girl's phone number, but when he was about to go out, he encountered a group of best friends who came to perform the coronation ceremony for him. Well, I almost gave birth on the spot, and the amniotic fluid broke, so I rushed to find the girl, scaring a bunch of friends.
When you go to the girl, the girl has long been surprised. If you tell you to wear a condom, you have to ask for it. The girl still has to find another boy to be happy, and I don't have time to take care of this handsome guy, but he is about to give birth, what should I do? The girl's parents help out and help the handsome guy give birth?
Can that be produced? Only his belly exploded and he died on the spot. But the child seemed to be fine. The girl's parents carried the child into the baby's room and stepped on the toy accidentally. The baby cried loudly for a while, and it turned out that there were little babies in the room.
Can you imagine? Girls get men pregnant and have so many children. After reading this story, I seem to have begun to understand the "balance of all things" that the mortician said.
The girl who applied gave the story a high rating, but the mortician said she was glib. The undertaker left the girl alone in the hall for a while and told her not to touch anything.
The girl suddenly heard a sound coming from the small coffin, approached it, put her ear close to the coffin, and the coffin lid suddenly moved. The girl stretched her head to look, as if she saw something. At this time, the undertaker suddenly came, startling the girl.
What the girl saw turned out to be the mechanism of the elevator, which lowered the coffin to the ground. The mortician took the girl to see the modern equipment of the funeral home, and mocked that they were all products of the 18th century.
The undertaker showed the girl a corpse and opened the shroud covering her face, revealing a beautiful young face. The mortician begins to tell the story of the beautiful corpse, which began when the corpse was a beautiful bride.
It was undoubtedly a warm wedding, but when the priest asked the formal question, the girl said I would, the boy looked at the girl, but the girl suddenly became hideous.
The husband woke up from the dream. It turned out to be a dream, but the reality seemed even more cruel. His beautiful bride was terminally ill. My husband went shopping, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly found that he didn't have the key to the unit building, so he could only ask the neighbor for help. An old black lady in the neighbor opened the door for him. The strange thing was that the old lady called him an old guy. In fact, he was just married.
The chatter of the old black lady made him very uncomfortable, so his husband, who had originally thought of taking the elevator, did not follow the old black lady to the elevator, but took the stairs and climbed the 12th floor.
The wife is seriously ill in bed, but the husband is unequivocal. Although the wife can only eat liquid food, the husband still makes every meal extremely beautiful, and then throws it into a wall breaker to break it up and feeds it to his wife.
In fact, the husband can't hold on anymore. No matter how high-sounding he said at the wedding, how long he is going to die, but his wife just can't die, and the fact that he can't restore this reality makes him almost collapse.
The doctor said that his wife's condition has stabilized, but she can't speak or move. The reality cannot be changed. It means that it will not get better, but it is just like this, and there is no specific time for deterioration.
The husband looked at his hands full of overdue bills and became haggard. So the doctor gave him two pills and told her that if he let his wife finish the two pills within 24 hours, something bad would happen to his wife, and no trace would be left.
The husband put his wife on the stool opposite, hoping that she would give him even a little response so that he could dispel those terrible thoughts. But, unfortunately, he got no response, so he poured the medicine from the capsule into food and fed it to his wife.
At this moment, his wife moved suddenly and reached out to grab his hand. Frightened, he restrained his wife by the waist and asked her to spit out the food. God, what's all this about?
He let his wife sit on the stool by himself, and he went to wake up. Unexpectedly, his wife fell on the table. He hurried to help him up, only to find that a metal rabbit was stuck in her forehead, and her brain was blown out. God, it scared me.
What should I do, my wife died like this? It was his bad idea to call the doctor. All you can do now, the doctor said, is toss the body into the sea and hope that the shark will eat it.
Apparently, the body wasn't eaten by the shark, otherwise the mortician wouldn't be able to tell the story with his wife's body.
What does the husband do? How do I get my wife's body out? The way to live for a long time appeared, he actually took out the chainsaw, and wanted a chainsaw shock? What was terrifying was that the wife suddenly woke up again in an instant, grabbed his hand, and shouted hysterically. He broke the metal rabbit that was stuck on her head with all his might, was it dead this time? Then start cutting, the footage is bloody, don't watch it if you are timid.
Cut up the corpse, put it in the suitcase, and go out. This time I can't walk on the ladder, it's too heavy. Take the elevator, but no matter how you look at this elevator today, there is an evil spirit.
Husband dragged his suitcase into the elevator. Before closing the elevator door, a fat man waved him to wait. How dare the husband wait, there is a ghost in his heart, so the fat man came to stop him, the elevator squeezed into the fat man's hand, and screamed. But the husband still didn't stop and let the elevator go down. However, the elevator suddenly stopped.
My husband is going crazy, what can I do? Parked in an elevator with a suitcase full of dead bodies, how to get out? He opened a crack in the elevator, but still couldn't get him out. At this time, the old black lady appeared and was going to call the police.
The husband was very panicked and tried to open the elevator door, but there was still no response, but his hands were covered with blood. Where did the blood come from? Looking back, the elevator car was also full of blood.
He tried again to escape from the top of the elevator car, but failed again. He crouched desperately in the corner of the elevator, looked at the suitcase containing his wife's body, threw the wedding ring out of his hand, and said fiercely: I'd rather... I think he wanted to say that he didn't know the bride.
But at this time, the lock of the suitcase broke by itself, and a gap was opened in the suitcase. Could it be that the dismembered wife is not dead yet?
The husband stretched out his hand nervously, trying to open the box. But at this time, the elevator suddenly began to run violently until it reached the first floor. The husband sees their sweet past in the elevator mirror, holding hands, kissing, everything is so beautiful.
When he turned around and saw the box slowly opening, his wife turned into a skeleton-like devil, holding the ring he threw away, putting it on him viciously, and kissing him.
When the police came and opened the elevator, the husband had gone mad and kept saying: No matter life, old age, sickness or death, he will never change.
After hearing this story, the candidate girl was very opposed, because she felt that anyone would choose like this husband. The mortician says everyone has their own destiny, why should we go against our destiny?
The girl asked what was the fate of the husband? The mortician said he was crazy and was sent to a famous mental hospital.
The mortician believed that good and evil would pay off in the end, and continued to lead the girl into the center of the house, and kept saying that the most important part was coming. Are there good stories or are there good venues? Let's wait and see.
The next scene makes us understand that the so-called central location of the house is where the cremation takes place. The mortician pushed the small coffin slowly towards the incinerator. At this moment, the girl who applied for the job stopped her. She confessed that she did not come to apply for the job, but because of the child in the coffin.
The girl wanted to take another look at the little boy in the coffin, this little boy named Logan. The undertaker complied with her request, and the girl glanced at Logan in the coffin and told their story.
The screen changes, the girl is watching TV, and the little boy Logan in the coffin is sleeping. The TV was boring and the girl went to make dinner. At this time, the TV switched to emergency news, saying that there was a riot in the well-known mental hospital, and there was bloodshed on a large scale, reminding the public to pay more attention.
But I seem to see a familiar face. The husband who killed his wife just now seems to be in the picture, and he is wearing a policeman's clothes. Is there something bad happening?
At this time, the girl was out throwing garbage, and it was raining heavily outside, but she didn't find a broken window glass in her house. When she returned to the room, the news reported that a cold-blooded killer, a babysitter who specialized in killing children, had killed more than a dozen young women. Unfortunately, the girl saw a man soaked with blood on his face. Could it be the cold-blooded killer?
The girl went back to the kitchen to get the resistance tool, and was weighing a knife, but found that the man was behind her, and the girl threw the kitchen knife away in fright. The man cried and asked: Can you help me?
The girl went to get a towel to help the man wipe the blood on his face when the phone rang. The man's psychotic characteristics immediately showed, and he said viciously: Can't answer the phone.
The mental patient asked the girl: What are you doing? The girl said I just want to help you. At this time, a voice came from the phone recording function: Why didn't you answer the phone? There was a problem in the mental hospital, a mental patient ran out, dismembered several children, locked the door and was with Logan.
At this time, the face of the mentally ill person was ferocious. The girl made the first move. She stuffed the mentally ill patient's hand into the meat grinder and turned the wrench to grind one of the mentally ill's hand into meat sauce.
Then the girl went to attack again, but was knocked to the ground by the mental patient. The girl kept getting up to stop the mental patient, but was knocked down again and again.
At this time, the scene on TV was completely in line with reality, and he was also a lunatic who went to kill a child, and the nanny went all out to protect it.
The boy hid, and the girl rushed out to fight the mentally ill. Obviously, the girl couldn't beat the mental patient. When her neck was deeply stuck, the girl gently said to the mental patient: You are not a murderer.
The mentally ill wake up from a dream, yes, I am not a murderer. So he let go, stood up, and stumbled to the stairs. The girl took the opportunity to push the mental patient down the stairs, and lifted the TV to smash the mental patient's head into patties.
At this time, the parents of the little boy Logan also arrived, entered through the back door, found the body of the mentally ill person, removed the TV, and confirmed the identity of the deceased. At this time, a large-scale reversal came, and it turned out to be the nanny who was crushed to death. Who is that girl? At this time, an emergency report came out on TV, and the girl was the murderer, known as the tooth fairy.
I rely on, this reversal is too big, right? What about boys? I didn't see the boy being killed, why did he die? The boy's parents couldn't find the boy's whereabouts, and finally found the boy's body in the oven.
Well, this plot ups and downs are really too big. Since it was the girl who killed the child, why did she go to the funeral home? It turned out that she went to take out the boy's teeth as a collection.
When she got the boy's teeth, she quickly stabbed the mortician's abdomen with the knife, then turned around and walked away, saying as she walked: In this world, the bad guys must have the last laugh.
However, she undoubtedly underestimated her opponent. The mortician did not shed bright red blood, but green liquid, and the wound healed quickly. And he controlled the girl and set up a barrier at the door of the funeral home, so that she could not leave the house no matter what.
In the end the girl is driven into a library with many stories about her. The books about her fell from the bookshelves, and the children who climbed out of the books and were killed by her were all charcoal-type children, gnawing her in the middle.
Evil brings evil, and the mortician has arranged everything. No, it wasn't arranged by him. When he finished writing the story and stitched up the torn girl, thinking that he had found a replacement and was about to leave, who would have thought that as soon as he walked out of the gate, he would explode and die, disappearing into ashes.
The girl woke up and found her body stitched up on her face, with scars one after another, crying out in despair. However, this really cannot be changed, and she has become a new funeral director.
At the end of the movie, the little boy who delivered the package at the beginning listened to the story of the female mortician, and was so frightened that he turned around and left. At this time, the female mortician said: So early, I am going to make dinner.
The door slammed shut and the movie ended.
Well, this movie is not bad as a whole, there are always some unexpected plots, especially the girl who came to the funeral home as the main line to apply for a job, turned out to be a murderer and a serial murderer in the end.
Several stories, seemingly unrelated, but closely related, are all describing human nature, advocating "balance theory", and good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
If you have time on the weekend, you might as well watch it again, it feels good. This funeral home should also be a holy place. The most evil people will eventually be trapped in it and will never leave.
Of course, after you read it, you may have different understandings and opinions. You are welcome to leave a message after the article and discuss different film theories with Shunzi.
Thanks for reading.
