A brief commentary from a horror-lover who was kidnapped into theaters…

It's the first time I've seen such a supernatural thriller, because I did some homework the first time I watched it, and after a certain psychological preparation, it's OK to watch it, and it's not even the word thriller.

When I watched it, I always felt as if I had been scared by myself many times. When I looked back at the film, I felt that the fear at that time was a bit funny? I wonder if the director just wanted to achieve such an effect.

Let’s talk about the movie, ooh, the story of the British castle (in fact, the castle has its own mysterious/supernatural aura), a tragic psychologically distorted life, how important it is to think about the education in childhood, they all say that children are angels? (Is this Is it from a fallen black angel?), I also sympathize with him.

Or that sentence, may love drive away the darkness and cover the world?

    A person like me who rejects all horror films was fooled into the movie theater to watch this, covering his face all the time, but in fact there were no ghosts at all. I thought it was a story about a man and an evil spirit signing a contract to sacrifice the heroine, but I didn’t expect it. It’s a psychology story that refuses to grow up. In the end, don’t leave me alone. It’s sighing. Maybe he just wanted a kiss from beginning to end. Like the movie critics said, monsters don’t deserve to live.

    A film that can justify itself
