The normal set of the first part of the "Unfriend" series has been very effective. This time the combination with the dark web expresses a real sense of powerlessness, which is reminiscent of the large amount of time spent on the Internet
.
From the formal point of view, the film can be said to be a "computer desktop movie." Everyone has a strong sense of substitution from the first second of the movie, starting with calm and playfulness, and ending with a dead end. Many people are willing to classify this movie as a horror film, and it is not unreasonable. The weird power of those traditional horror films cannot happen after all, and everything in this story may appear in the audience's life in a changing form at any time. Because of this, it is not difficult to understand why this seemingly simple story is so popular
.
The film is a work of ingenious workmanship, it is good at the theme design and rhythm processing, but the more valuable point is that the film has the current nature and strong practical significance. It will be a little uncomfortable to watch at first, because the lens does not have any visual impact, and the lines are boring, monotonous and boring. The seemingly unremarkable opening just showed the creator's ambition. In contrast, the plot then moved like a rough sea, which caught the audience by surprise. These are the cunning methods of the director, and this kind of careful thinking just supported the whole movie. It exposes the reality nakedly, so real that it makes the audience question themselves. When the movie gets closer to reality, it is also its most dangerous and fascinating moment. The film focuses the lens on the "dark web", a transparent world that looks far away from the public but is actually kidnapped every day. The director's perspective is tricky, but the things he wants to talk about are incredibly comprehensive. It is strikingly similar to the issues to be criticized in "Rear Window" and "The World of Truman". Human beings once again lost to the desire to voyeurize. The medium used in "Rear Window" is a telescope, "The World of Truman" is a television, and in "Unfriended: Dark Web" it becomes the Internet. In fact, from an abstract point of view, this is like the evolution of human technology, but the dark web is more virtualized, which is more in line with the horror film characteristics of "beware of someone behind it." Therefore, this is also the strong point of the film, there is no need to deliberately show off skills, only the subject matter has "scared" many people .
