For horror lovers, the long night is best for horror drama to pass the time. Not to mention it, it can also defeat the emotion of loneliness and produce a "feeling of companionship" that "in addition to myself, there are many ghosts in the room." There are many works like
. There are the Japanese series of horror films "The Grudge", the classic Korean thriller "Pink High Heels", the recently released cooked meat "Are you ready", and the high score "Castle Rock" which is currently on the air. Although
has different backgrounds, they have a common feature. That is: creating a "sense of horror" with a weird atmosphere and sinful heart, even the most common dark-tone shots can give the audience a sense of horror.
recently had another good horror drama: "The Strange Maid", which got a high score of 7.7 once it went online. The story of
happened to a young couple. Her husband's name is Sean, and he is a five-star chef. His wife's name is Dorothy and she is a news anchor. The two have a successful career, a happy relationship, and they both gave birth to a lovely child, which can be said to be a fairy life.
Recently, Dorothy has some troubles: she is too busy to take care of her children. In order to give her children a comfortable living environment, Dorothy is posting recruitment information online, hoping to recruit a careful nanny.
At this time, a girl named Liane appeared and applied to be a nanny. Liane liked children very much and put him first no matter what. Changing diapers, breastfeeding, and going for a walk is like the child’s biological mother.
Dorothy is very satisfied with this and can finally go to work with peace of mind. Sean was sweating all over. Because: their child has died long ago, this one held by Lian is just a doll...
The biggest attraction of "The Strange Maid" is the unknown weirdness. In other horror films, the audience can more or less deduce the true identity of the ghost and the reason for the existence of the ghost from the details, but in this story, the ghost is ethereal and no one knows why it appears.
In the beginning, Sean thought that Lianne wanted to reassure Dorothy, so he took care of the fake doll in every possible way. But in the end, he found out with horror: The fake doll came alive and became a real child!
The personnel setting in the ordinary horror film is that "the protagonist has a companion who fights side by side", but the tone of "The Strange Maid" is the ultimate horror. All kinds of evidence show that there is only Sean in this family. Even the wife who used to be gentle and pleasant has become terrifying... The first three episodes of the
series have a slow pace, and therefore lost a lot of viewers. But as long as everyone is willing to keep chasing, you will find that many seemingly meaningless shots are paving the way for the storyline later.
Ru Li Ann is praying in the room, meanwhile, there is a mysterious scarecrow in her room. At the beginning of
, the audience didn't know why Liane made such a strange behavior. It wasn't until Sean was hurt exactly like the Scarecrow that he suddenly realized: It turns out that this is a sinful curse ritual.
After realizing that there was something wrong with Lean, Sean did not sit still, but quickly began to fight back. The younger brother Julian was invited to investigate, and successfully found a clue that "the babysitter is already dead". The sense of suspense and horror are blended together, and the audience can't stop watching. I want to know the true identity of "Lian" who lives in Sean's home, and I am afraid of seeing terrible and strange sights in the process of seeking the truth...
Sean's IQ in "The Strange Maid" continues to be online. Although he always collapsed because of the repressive atmosphere at home, he never gave up the method of "revealing Li'an's true face". As a husband, he must guard the safety of his beloved wife and family.
But judging from the preview, the setting of this story is not as simple as a "spiritual story". Repeatedly in the narration: "Do you know what you brought home?" The lines, the camera quickly switched, and the police, knives, blood and other symbols related to the murder were presented to the audience. The sense of suspense design is very strong, making the audience hesitate between the two possibilities of supernatural events and man-made crimes.
It is worth mentioning that the director of this film is M. Knight Shamaran who has directed classic horror films such as "Sixth Sense". After "The Sixth Sense", he successively brought to the audience high-quality thriller works such as "Black Pine Town" and "Split". Create a dark atmosphereThere is an excellent control over the rhythm of the story. With him, the story will never end. In the follow-up plot of
, investigating Liane's younger brother will be tempted, and his wife Dorothy will also stand in the same camp as Liane. The only normal Sean was excluded and fell into a helpless situation. This kind of psychological fear is more emotional than external fear. If it is a timid audience, don't watch it alone!
