Personally, I think this type of film is the most terrifying in terms of psychological horror. Which zombie monster is more bloody but actually not that scary
Movie summary:
On the road paved with stones. There are dry plants. The elder sister was taken home from the hospital by her father (the younger sister died long ago at the beginning of the movie, and the younger sister is her fantasy)
A tall apartment. There are autumn plants all around. The girl's white fingers are like flowers. The slender calves lapped at the quiet lake water. There was clear laughter echoing.
The stepmother with an exquisite face is waiting for them. It is obvious that the relationship between the stepmother and the sisters is not good. (The stepmother is also the phantom of the older sister. In fact, there are only two people in the family: the older sister and the father)
This old wooden house. All decorations are luxurious and rich. wall clock. The characters are also very well dressed. This was an uncomfortable house to begin with. After the girl came back, the house became even colder and weirder.
The stepmother’s neurosis. Strange sounds in the corridor at night. Pink blood stains on my sister's bed.
One side is heavy. One side is pure white. It's happening in a big dark brown house.
A series of weird things happened. There was blood and brawling. complex.
The stepmother constantly bullies her sister Xiulian. The protection of my sister Xiu Wei. "I'm with you in everything."
Confusing content. In the end it turned out to be a pathological reversal of roles.
My sister has died long ago. All the above are just delusions caused by sister Xiuwei's mental stimulation. Kong took on the role of stepmother and tortured herself till she was covered in blood. And Xiulian's white dress and her crying in the middle of the night only exist in Xiuwei's delusion. Everything is empty. 2 white quiet pills. It just keeps showing up.
At the end of the movie, time goes back to the past and all the mysteries are revealed: It is also late autumn. Father brings beautiful stepmother. Relations within the family began to become strained. Her biological mother couldn't bear it and hanged herself in her sister Xiulian's closet. Xiulian frantically tried to pull her mother out of the closet, but the closet fell down. Got smashed underneath. A heavy voice. The stepmother saw Xiulian struggling before her death, but did not rescue her out of fear. Xiulian's bloody fingers kept trying to grab something. Life is surging like a tide at this moment. But no one paid attention.
Sister Xiuwei walked out of the house angrily after a quarrel with her stepmother. When she looked back, Xiulian finally breathed her last. It was just a weak "Xiu Wei, save me." After all, his hands didn't grab anything. It turned into a regretful and lonely posture.
That kind of autumn. My father used to drive the car. There are dry plants on the gravel road. In fact, only Xiuwei was brought back. From the beginning, it was just a fantasy.
The ending is music for violin and piano. Fast 3 pace. Brisk and relaxed. Xiu Wei wearing a red sweater and light cotton skirt. A person sits on a wooden board by the lake, withered leaves and undulating lake water. There are also the lonely shoes beside Xiu Wei.
