兒童瀕死體驗相關(guān)，愈到后期愈引人入勝的一部佳片。電影根據(jù)凱瑟琳·斯托爾原著Marianne Dreams改編，本書曾在1972年被改編成六集英國兒童電視連續(xù)劇Escape Into Night

與其打上恐怖片的標簽，我更愿意將這部電影看做一部有部分嚇人片段的催淚童話：女孩畫就的紙房子里出現(xiàn)重病的癱瘓男孩，遠在海外有酗酒黑歷史的爸爸化作面目模糊的大反派。女孩幻想自己被反派爸爸拖到山坡上錘擊胸口，實際上是女孩心臟停止跳動的時候被醫(yī)護人員急救按壓，而這一切全是女孩在重病之際觸摸到的另一個世界邊緣。最后面直升飛機出現(xiàn)的場景更是催人淚下。

飾演馬克的小男孩名為埃利奧特·施皮爾斯。這個神情總是帶些憂郁的英俊男孩生于1973年，1994年1月15日因藥物副作用去世，年僅20歲，令人扼腕。

附上Elliott母親Catherine在IMDB上回復(fù)Paperhouse影迷們的原話——

I thought by posting on IMDB from my base in Europe it would be International.

When Elliott made Paperhouse he was a perfectly happy and normal boy. He was also very aware and sensitive which made him a fine young actor. He had extraordinary observational abilities which he expressed mainly in painting and drawing.

He became ill in 1991 after taking anti malarial medication which sometimes causes severe psychosis in people. Elliott was a dear happy and considerate person, even able to understand how difficult was the job of the doctors and nurses looking after him. He could not bear to see how his illness caused suffering in all who loved him. he took his own life in January 1994.

Thank you all for your appreciation of his work

Catherine

希望Elliott小天使在另一個世界也要好好的啊！
