Alex Le Domas (Mark O'Brien) and Grace (Samara Weaving) at the end of the wedding night, Alex's family told Grace that they were going to play a game. This is a long-standing tradition of the Le Domas family. Anyone who marries their family must play games at midnight, and what games they play are randomly drawn from a wooden box. Unfortunately, Grace draws a "hide and seek" card at random. Grace didn't know what she was going to face. When Grace found a hiding place, Alex's brother Daniel (Adam Brody), mother Becky (Andie MacDowell) and domineering father Tony (Henry Czerny), as well as the rest of the family members, they prepared to chase with various weapons in their hands. Killing Grace, their purpose is actually to catch Grace and carry out the killing ceremony. According to the legend of the Le Domas family, only in this way can they retain the wealth and power of the family. Alex couldn't stop his family from looking for his bride. In fact, if they catch her before dawn, they will kill her. But if they don’t, the whole family will die. Conversely, if Grace could escape the pursuit of Alex's family until dawn, she might be alive.
This movie is full of exaggerated violence. Many bloody scenes make people gnash their teeth, break the brain in elevators, shoot bows and arrows into the eyes, bullets go through the palms, etc. These abnormal acts of violence abound throughout the movie. What’s rare is that although the picture is horrible, it cannot be defined as a traditional horror movie, because although every character has violent behavior, they all have love. Alex’s family wants to kill Grace because they want to protect themselves. 'S family and family, and Grace's murder is self-love. They are not cold-blooded soldiers who kill without blinking, but rather blindly believe in so-called family legends. And the whole movie is interspersed with a lot of black humor, which makes you laugh at some moments when you are nervous.
The color tone of the whole movie is dim, and only a few lights in the open old mansion at midnight heighten the horror atmosphere. But at the same time, the pictures are often beautiful, showing the classical beauty and violent aesthetics to the fullest.
A 90-minute movie does not make people feel dull. The rhythm is tight, and the story is progressive. Although the logic of the story does not stand up to scrutiny, if you just purely enjoy every minute of the movie, you will still At the end of the movie, people sigh that this is a very good movie. Of course, this is also inseparable from the acting skills of the actor. As the heroine, Samara Weaving, many close-up shots show her excellent acting skills, she will experience a woman through fear, panic, apathy, cheer up, crazy, despair, vicious, reckless Everything, and so on, these mental activities are well displayed. Of course, the acting skills of the old actors who are Alex's family also allows the audience to devote themselves to the movie story.
There is a slight reversal at the end of the movie, which will make the audience have some surprises, so I will leave you with a suspense.
