There are many ghost films that write about murder houses, but not many are made into TV series.
The American company Netflix has made a modern adaptation of the famous Gothic thriller Shirley Jackson's work "Ghost Invasion" into a TV series of the same name.
This drama version of "Ghost Invasion" received a high score of 8.7 on Douban and was selected as the highest-rated British and American drama in 2018.
And this is not even its best result, the drama in the United States imdb and other film review websites, has achieved a highest score of more than 9 points. And after the broadcast for several consecutive weeks to dominate the imdb "most popular TV shows".
It may be the reason why Americans prefer native ghosts, but no matter what, it proves that this TV series does have a lot of praiseworthy points.
Mitchell Hassman of "Game of Thrones", Timothy Hutton of "American Serious Crime", Elizabeth Reese of "Pursuit: Bomber", Oliver Jason Cohen of "Emerald City", Kara Guccino of "Sin City" and Henry Thomas of "Better Things" have all participated in the show, which can be said to be a star-studded gathering.
The story of "Ghost Invasion" is also very emotional. It tells the story of five siblings who grew up in America's most famous haunted house and reunited as adults because their youngest sister committed suicide, forcing them to face ghosts related to their past and demons lurking in their hearts.
The story is set in the famous hill house Hill Hill. Mr. and Mrs. Crane and their five children stayed in this seemingly ornate castle one summer. However, the eerie atmosphere and the dark secrets hidden everywhere are the nightmares they cannot escape.
Then, the series begins with a series of supernatural events that the five siblings encountered from childhood to adulthood. Although the eldest brother Steve had never seen any ghosts directly, he had not rarely encountered ghosts knocking on the door, and he had also witnessed the horror of his mother before his mother died the night the family escaped from the villa.
When he grew up, he wrote a horror novel about the stories of his younger siblings seeing ghosts and the tragic experience of his family because of haunting. Although he made a lot of money from novels, his approach was despised by his family, who thought that the money was stained with his mother's blood.
The eldest sister Shirley also encountered a lot of horrors, but in the end they were all false alarms.
But full of love, she left a lot of shadows because the kitten she picked up was "resurrected from the dead" under the monster of the bug.
As an adult, Shirley has been engaged in the funeral business and has personally put on makeup for those who have passed away. She has been in a high-pressure state, desperately suppressing herself, but she did not expect that because her husband and her sister hugged and made love, she fell into a state of loss of control.
The third sister, Theo, works in the field of psychotherapy, and she is arguably the most special of her siblings. Because she inherited her mother's sensitive physique, she could feel the stories related to people and objects through touching them.
And many of these stories are horrors that she can't face, and her soul is full of fright and torture, and she also wears a pair of gloves for many years and closes her heart.
Of the five siblings, the youngest, Luke and Nell, are a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. His younger brother, Luke, was the most ghosted of the five children at Hill Hill Hill, and ghosts kept appearing in his bedroom and under his bed.
When he arrived in the basement in a grocery delivery truck, he was attacked by evil spirits. Severe mental stimulation made him unable to get rid of the terrible nightmare, and eventually became an "addict".
Little sister Nell also suffered from sleep paralysis, commonly known as "ghost press", because when she was a child, she always saw a terrible woman with a crooked neck.
Ironically, however, it wasn't until the end of her life that she learned that the crooked woman who had scared her for so many years was herself hanged.
It was her mother who lured her to commit suicide.
The five brothers and sisters, all because of the trauma of the murderous house, left a lot of problems on their bodies. The eldest brother believes that he has inherited the mental illness of his deceased mother and is willing to be Dink; the eldest sister's marriage has a red light, and there are many unspeakable secrets between her husband; the third sister has a different sexual orientation and is nostalgic for the female companion of the bar to find a one-night stand; the younger brother cannot quit after taking drugs, and even steals the things of the eldest brother's family; the little sister directly dies.
However, the unforgettable encounter did not make them love each other in adulthood, but in fear, confusion, confusion and alienation from each other, each of them wanted to get rid of the shadow of the time. The unspoken secrets and the pain of not being understood in their hearts also create family relationships that they cannot reconcile.
It wasn't until the death of the little sister that they rejoined in order to solve the mystery, and the truth behind it was related to their deceased mother. At the same time, they also discovered that the secrets behind these deaths were known to their fathers.
What happened after the whole family fled the villa and killed the hostess? What makes my father keep his mouth shut even though he is covered in blood, and does not allow anyone to go any further to the villa? In the end, will the protagonists in the play be swallowed up by the haunted house? It's also fascinating step by step.
In fact, the highlight of "Ghost Invasion" is not only the horror and suspense storyline, but also its shooting method is also a must. The two-line narrative method makes the fragments of the story that are separated by decades like a puzzle, and the truth of the matter is pieced together without a trace, and the feelings between the characters are also connected.
If the past can be changed, will there be them now? The idea that there are effects and causes, through the time and space switching and interlacing of clues that sometimes return to the past, sometimes live in the present, let one mystery be solved with the development of the plot, and the audience's brain holes are filled one by one, which is very exciting.
At the same time, many of the long shots used in the series also have the director's ingenuity in it. When preparing for the funeral of the little sister Nell in the play, the whole family gathered together for the first time in many years, the father entered the door and looked around, saw the children's childhood appearance, the camera swept another circle, but they have grown into adults.
At the same time, the father also changed from black hair to white hair, but the child will always be the same as when he was young in his heart. People can't help but sigh the cruelty of time, and even have the feeling of wanting tears. Such lyrical lens language can be said to be very brilliant in horror dramas.
The editor believes that the biggest significance of "Ghost Invasion" is not to scare people and create excitement, but to discuss family affection and what love is.
Is it like a dead mother, hoping that all children can stay in the form of ghosts in the form of ghosts and obtain "eternal life" isolated from the world and from suffering?
Or is it like a father, suppressing and forbearance to hide secrets alone, just to let the child walk without regret in the world of hurt, pain, and happiness? It seems that there are different answers in everyone's mind.
But either way, we can feel the love from our parents whose blood is thicker than water. "Ghost Invasion" uses the shell of a ghost film to tell a warm story. So if you see crying, it will definitely not be because of fright, but because of your mother.
