We often say "not a family, do not enter a door", there are two meanings.
On the one hand, it is said that people who have a common interest in each other have a common language, and they will be comfortable getting along under one roof!
On the other hand, it is said that morally corrupt people will live together, and it is also said that the wicked have their own evil grind!
The movie I want to talk about today is a good interpretation of the latter situation, a family of four in addition to their newborn child, actually have blood on their hands!
The audience guessed the murderer of the case very well, but they did not expect that there would be so many murderers implicated, and they were all family!
This movie is the American horror film " Blood Relatives " !
The film was released in the United States in 2019, the length of the film is only 95 minutes, and the Douban score is 6.1, which is not high, but it is not a bad film!
The male protagonist is the famous American spoof comedy director Sean William Scott, who has starred in "American Pie".
It is also because of the humorous role in this series that makes the audience laugh, and it has become popular and has become an indispensable actor in the series.
He has also acted in comedies such as "Four Boys' Tour", but good actors always want to do their best to challenge themselves.
Accustomed to comedy, he began to star in the action film "Blood Jungle" in 2003, which achieved a very good box office.
He even cooperated with Brother Zhou Runfa, which is also an action movie called "Bulletproof Martial Monk"!
Later, there were films such as "Justice Striker", which were very good at the box office and his career was on the right track!
In recent years, he has also had works, and even this year there have been new films, but they have not yet been released, and they have gradually changed from supporting roles to protagonists.
In "Blood Relatives", he plays a psychiatrist, but he suffers from painful memories of his childhood.
However, he was still jokingly called "the immodest Sean William Scott" by the audience, probably accustomed to his comedic style!
He is the most eye-catching actor in the film, the director and the two female protagonists do not have many works, roughly speaking, the cast of this film is actually not strong, and it is also a small-cost movie.
The story told in the movie is darker, but it is said to be a horror film, in fact, it is more about human nature.
The male protagonist Evan is a counselor who values the family very much, and his father died when he was young, living with his mother and wife.
The pregnant wife gave birth to the baby, and in the delivery room, looking at the newborn baby, Evan fell into thought.
Evan's wife is less experienced with children, and the children are always crying.
Fortunately, Evan's mother helped take care of the children, and the couple was able to breathe.
But after giving birth, Evan always went out for a ride in the middle of the night, and the pressure brought by the family was quite great.
His wife asked Evan about it, and he said he wanted to drive a little bit later.
What got Evan bored, and a couple of students who came to consult him.
Students have suffered from domestic violence for a long time, and their fathers are mostly violent, always bullying themselves and their mothers.
This scene annoyed Evan because he was beaten by his father when he was a child, and even witnessed his mother being abused by the family.
He couldn't give the boys substantive advice, just told them they would be fine.
A few days later, the fathers of the students who had come to consult him actually died.
The police investigate and suspect that Evan killed the man.
He even asked his wife, such as whether her husband had gone out at night, whether his behavior was strange, and so on.
Reminded by Evan's mother, the wife denied all this, even if the husband's car was photographed outside, she also said that the other party understood the pressure of being a father and needed to be alone for a while.
Came to Consult with Evan about one of the boys and he was in pain.
He said that although he hated his father's domestic violence, he did not want him to die, and only hoped that he would get better.
During the conversation, Evan inadvertently mentions that the boy's father became kind only to get insurance money.
The boy was alert at once, saying he hadn't told Evan about it.
Evan can only pretend that the boy said it himself when he received psychotherapy, but forgot it himself.
But this matter is not over, one day the boy came to Evan with a gun, he said that he had never said anything about insurance, and believed that Evan had killed his father.
But Evan hugged the other and snatched the other's gun to soothe the boy's emotions.
Later the boy died in the wild, holding his own gun in his hand, and an hour before he died he was dynamic, reflecting on the killing of his father.
Father-killer suicide, perfect guilt!
But in fact, the boy was killed by Evan's wife.
She knew that her husband had killed people, and she knew that those people might have deserved it.
She didn't want to see her husband caught, and she didn't want her newborn child to lose her father.
So she killed the boy herself, and was the only one who knew.
Evan actually witnessed everything when she killed the boy, but he condoned his wife's behavior because his hands were already stained with blood.
And Evan's mother, her hands are actually not clean.
When Evan's father abused their mother and son, Evan killed his father by mistake, and his mother helped bury the body in his garden.
The mother knows Evan's personality, and also knows that he has killed people one after another, and even often helps Evan disguise the scene, such as wiping off the blood on Evan's neck in time, so as not to let Evan's wife find out.
Evan buried his father's body, and many years later his wife staged such a drama again, which has to be said to be too coincidental.
And because they value the family more, in the face of justice, they choose to forgive, cover up, and even in order to protect the family, they do not hesitate to kill people and bury their conscience!
After watching the brush, the audience said that it is not a family that does not enter the door.
And the title of "Deadly Blood Relatives" also summarizes the film very well, and the title can really give full marks.
Some people say that the plot is old-fashioned, but in terms of later development, it is indeed new.
Especially the reversal of the wife, many people will look at the problem from the commanding heights of justice.
It should be righteous to kill relatives, but this wife's approach is a little fresh and unconventional.
It may be bad to aid in abuse, but it is not a means of maintaining the family, selfishness, allowing the lives of others to be disregarded, and even hand-bladed witnesses.
But this setting point also leaves the audience with more thinking, such as domestic violence, childhood trauma, justice and evil, etc.!
