Why am I thinking too much?

Personal rating: 6.0 Overall evaluation: First of all, I am not a fan of the book. I have not read the original work. Therefore, some of my guesses below may be similar to the original work. And, I will go back and look at the original work. This is a very good one. A good setting, a land that can bring the deceased back to the world, (there seems to be a religious factor behind it). The whole story is about a family, when the daughter dies, the father buries the daughter in that magical soil, and afterwards Things... First of all, as a horror movie, the narrative is very complete and smooth. But, in terms of horror, it’s not done very well. The horror of this movie is basically a frightening horror, (flashing horror points, with a soundtrack), and a deformed show, (mother’s sister should be counted?) . Moreover, there are relatively few scare points. This movie wants to discuss the view of death in addition to the horror. This is good, but, is it possible to talk about the view of death in a fantasy setting? It’s not impossible. The last thing the movie wants to say is that when death happens, you have to let it go, (and in the end, whether it is father or mother, it is said that your daughter is gone, this is not you). But, I always feel that this strength is not enough... Then, in the setting, I want to talk about my thoughts and extend it... First of all, at the beginning of this video, it was said that when a pet dies nearby, I held a ritual to bury the pets, but unfortunately it didn’t show up behind... Then, it was also said that the ability of the land to come back to life was related to religion, and the sound in the tree or something, so I thought it was a religious horror movie. (It's similar to genetic doom, mother!, Midsummer Night Terror), so I thought that all the so-called ghosts of Pascal, and the uncle, were all leading the protagonist's family to that magical land. After understanding these settings, my vision for the whole movie is to be a religious horror film, and then it will turn back to anti-cult and promote the mainstream view of death. As a result, it turned out that I thought too much, so it was a bit Little disappointment... Finally, regarding the handling of the ending, (it can’t be said that it’s the ending, it’s after the daughter’s "resurrection"), I want to vomit, sorry. That is, after the daughter is resurrected, she will know about it. The matter of the dead world, and then revenge for the uncle’s wife, (really?), then revenge for the mother’s sister, and blamed all this on Dad, saying that Dad buried the cat and daughter in that magical soil That's when it started. (Insert, the result of father burying his daughter in that piece of soil is still understandable). But, so, what role is the "resurrected" daughter? Is the executor of "revenge" for the dead? Is this a bit arbitrary and subjective? It does not make sense? Moreover, in the back, the daughter is trying her best to bury the people around her in that piece of land. Why, this is a bit like recruiting people for the gods in the cult? It's a pity that the cult line hasn't been launched...

PS: I'll go back and look at the original, don't worry about this.

    The scary thing is that the scruples born out of love disappeared overnight. One side cut off the relationship suddenly, and the other side couldn't extricate themselves. These ghouls do not love each other.

    It gives me the feeling that the actors can, the scene can be restored, the hardware is ok, but what is missing, 90 minutes is still too fast, if you pay more attention to the depiction of details and the delicacy of the characters, then the adaptation is qualified, but you have to let it go. If the fans of the non-original novels are satisfied, they should pay attention to the importance of the secondary creation and do the work of the horror atmosphere.
