When summer comes, the movie list must be indispensable to "cool ghost films".
Needless to say, I've made up the screams in my head.
In order to welcome the hot summer, the BBC has also launched a new drama related to "ghosts".
But this time, I wasn't scared to death.
It's about being laughed at. die. finish. ——

Look at the short review to know that it must not be a serious ghost film -
This ghost story takes place in an ancient mansion that has been weathered by the wind and frost of the years.
The owners of this old house have come from a family named Barton for generations.
Unfortunately, the last direct heir of the old mansion also passed away.
According to the family tree, alison, who is poor and about to be homeless, receives a call from a lawyer and naturally becomes the heir apparent of the old mansion.
Is there any reason not to live in a windfall or a free mansion?
Not only can you live on your own, but you can also transform it into a hotel and develop an ancient house tourism industry, which is exciting to think about.
The two children immediately packed their bags and rushed to their new home.
The poor and accustomed couple, when they first saw the true face of the ancient house, they were so excited that they could not speak.
As everyone knows, the big house is not only the two of them.
Also, one. big. group. ghost.
The house, the basement, the lawn, the window sill, are all ghosts that you can't see.
The human eye can't see these ghosts, but the ghosts are lurking around you all the time, watching Alison's little two mouths.
Overheard by the ghost - they want to renovate the old house into a hotel!
The ghosts who have been accustomed to being here for thousands of years resolutely disagree, and in order to defend the ghost's right to "survive", they have prepared a series of "haunted" tricks to drive Alison away.
First of all, the classic flashing light warning, did not expect the hardcore Alison to screw it.
The first step, defeat.
Then, it was the little plague girl's turn to sing the ghost song, but Alison had not yet heard it clearly, and the husband in the next room had just fixed the speaker and overshadowed the yo-yo ghost sound.
The second step is defeat.
The ghost then crosses Alison's body and tries to intimidate her with a peculiar smell, but is judged to be "toast-roasted."
The third step, still lost.
The final killer skill is to wait for the only ghost councilor who can push the object.
But it wasn't until Alison walked by, and it took half a day's effort, that the vase was pushed a little bit.
Almost negligible little by little
The "haunted" plan was a complete failure.
It turns out that "haunted" is so difficult, ghosts and ghosts may not be able to do it.
Just when they lost confidence in "haunted", Alison suddenly fell from the window sill and was unconscious...
The ghost himself is also very confused, we have not done anything, is it really haunted?
(In fact, it was pushed down by the ghost parliamentarian, suddenly strange, difficult to explain)
Alison, who was innocently "haunted", woke up in the hospital, but she was also blessed with a new skill.
Saw all the invisible ghosts.
Is this more frightening than the "haunting" itself!!!
Whether it is a doctor or a witch practice, Alison does not have the so-called "good" up, and the ghosts in front of her eyes are more and more.
Even if it is, they are really noisy.
Since it cannot be changed, the only way to learn to accept it is to learn.
Alison began to slowly accept the fact of the haunted house, and also tried to communicate and communicate with the ghost.
The ghost just wanted to find something to do
She also began to discover that the world of ghosts was simpler and more lonely than she had imagined.
For example, watch tanks and superweapons on TV once a week
Remove the photo of your ex-husband and fill in the hole in the wall
Break off ties with Satan
Say a simple hello
The most requested, but only to be able to meet with the family from afar, to understand whether they are doing well or not.
Even if it is a lone ghost, the biggest wish is nothing more than that.
Alison seems to have found a peaceful way to live with them, guarding the mysterious and huge ancient mansion together in case he is considered mentally ill by others.
The bizarre story that happened in this haunted house is still pending, and I will not spoil too many more.
Being able to shoot the terrifying ghost into a dumb physique, this credit should also belong to the god-like production team -
The original team of the classic British drama "Bad History".
With an average score of 9.4 per season, the popular science historical film is made into a funny children's drama, and it also retains the British "self-black" tradition, borrowing from the past and the present everywhere.

The same goes for Haunted House Fun.
The death of every ghost in the ancient house is inextricably linked to British history.
One of the most primitive British cavemen, Robin, was the earliest of the first humans in Britain.
Alison called him "Low Tarzan"
Cavemen appeared on the plains and parts of Europe 230,000 years ago, and disappeared from the earth 30,000-40,000 years ago, thousands of years after the emergence of modern humans.

The Headless Knight, who has only one head left in each appearance, is alluding to the murderous maniac Henry VIII.
During his reign, Henry VIII married a total of six wives, and each empress who could not give birth to a son was eventually sent to the guillotine.

In addition, it has also been pointed out that the Headless Horseman is also alluding to Charles I, who was severed.
Charles I was the first monarch in European history to be publicly executed and sent to the guillotine for treason.

The little girl of the plague who often sang in the attic refers to the great plague of the great plague that once broke out in the European Middle Ages.
The Great Plague of Plague occurred twice in Europe, once in 1347-1353 and once in 1665-1666.
Between 1347 and 1353, the plague known as the "Black Death" claimed the lives of 25 million Europeans, accounting for 1/3 of the total population of Europe at that time.
Between 1665 and 1666, a large-scale "Black Death" outbreak also broke out in London, England, and more than 80,000 people died from the plague, equivalent to one-fifth of the population of London at that time.

The witch who was able to emit odors and demand that Alison break off relations with Satan refers to the "witch trial" initiated in Europe in the 15th century.
In film and television works such as "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" and "Chamber 9", there are related plots of "Witch Trial".
Pirates of the Caribbean 5
In 2011, the BBC also released the documentary "Witch Trial", which recreated the medieval "Pendle Witch Case".
In 1484, Heinrich Kraemer and Johann Sprenger, a Catholic friar and inquisitor, wrote The Witch's Hammer.
It is actually a book that teaches witch hunters and judges how to identify witchcraft, to examine witches and how to torture witches.
In the name of "witch hunts," about 100,000 people, the vast majority of whom were women, were executed within three centuries.
George, a ghost officer who is obsessed with directing operations, is from the World War II period.
Tanks, superweapons, Hitler, all products of World War II.
There is also Julian, a member of the House of Commons who does not wear pants, who has repeatedly asked for changes to Google and Wikipedia entries in the play, and there have also been reports of the scandal of the conservative party nature of the House of Commons in the web page.
The figure alludes to a sex scandal that erupted in the British parliament in 2017, when a British Conservative party assistant and others exposed a list in a social group, including 36 Conservative MPs, 6 of whom were cabinet ministers, all of whom were accused of wrongdoing.
British Defence Secretary Fallon resigned over sexual harassment
There are also "Moroccan tea parties" and "three male hemorrhoids" discussed in the play, alluding to the homosexual history of European royalty and aristocrats.
Before modern times, homosexuality was sinful in Britain and faced jail time.
In 1967, the UK repealed laws that criminalized homosexuality.
In 2004, the United Kingdom passed the Civil Partnership Act, which grants legal status to same-sex partnerships.
The ghost officer, who is very familiar with these words, can also be judged that he may be gay.
(It's true that it's a corrupt country.)
With the historical background rendering, the personality of the ghosts is also particularly three-dimensional in the play -
Officers who have a strong desire for control in war still stand and talk without waist pain, and only use their mouths to command.
The members of the lower parliament who died because of the sex scandal still do not admit guilt, and they will only think that everything is the fault of others, and they will never find a reason for themselves.
The two even joined forces to plant bribes on others, and the evil people of history are evil even if they are ghosts.
Pat, the archery teacher who died in an accident, was very gentle, and his family's commemoration of him on the day of his death was enough to make him feel free from the past.
Borrow the past to satirize the present, and take history as a mirror.
Although ghosts have become a thing of the past, they are more frightening than ghosts in history, and there are still unpredictable human hearts.
Hopefully, bad history is over, and we, who are about to become history, won't be so bad.
