The Death Comes series breaks through the types and techniques of all previous horror thrillers. There are no monsters, no horror killers, no ghosts and ghosts. Everything is so unknowable, but it is catering to the philosophy of "the unknowable is the most terrifying". .
Watching without any suspense watching Death take away the people it wants to take with objects that are everywhere in our lives, and watching with guilt to see how it all happens more innovatively, this is where Death is coming.
There is a very talented audience member, he:
Comments to the protagonist: Look at you, you can dodge the first day of the new year but not the fifteenth day.
Comments to the God of Death: Where there is a will, things can be accomplished, it is easy for me.
Comments to the director: I should take a physics class.
Comments to the audience: Don't scare yourself to play.
Human life is so fragile. A small oversight can make death find a loophole that can kill you, a bath rope in the bathroom, a small glass of ice water, or even a prosthetic limb can kill you! In the film, the god of death has never been seen, but the evil atmosphere can be felt everywhere. It can be attributed to the type of horror movie in the heart, but the death plot it describes is so reasonable and thought-provoking. Seeing each victim's dying struggle before dying, he really felt the value of life.
In terms of the plot, the panacea configuration of 4 men and 3 women has been used.
Just as the core of the "Chainsaw" series lies in various perverted mechanisms, the core of the success of "Death Come 1" is not the novel way of instant death of characters, but the chronic torture process before death that is more terrifying than death itself. Under the director's deliberate hints and suspense settings, the character enters a familiar environment in the audience's daily life. Every action of his may lead to final death, but the audience is always anxiously waiting for that moment to come. This suspense method is a bit like Hitchcock's "time bomb" theory. The audience knows in advance that a certain character is going to die, so this "waiting to die" process is an excellent horror atmosphere. This is why there are not many people who died in "Death Is Coming 1", but each of them "died for a long time". The director carefully created the slow death process of each character, and in the end it was just stabbed to death like a female teacher, or It was a "simple" strangulation like the hero's good friend, in fact, it was not as important as the previous chronic torture process.
On the other hand, the most failed "Death Come 4" in the entire series was completely caught in the quagmire of creating "new ways to die" and could not extricate itself. Even though the audience is looking forward to seeing all kinds of unexpected shocking methods of death, it is just that the suspense process of the previous "chronic death" is missing. No matter how novel the method of death is, it is only a boring display of blood and special effects.
The number of chronic deaths described in "Death Comes 5" is not more than 6, which is less than that of the second, third and fourth films, but the presentation of several chronic death processes is enough to be calm. Let the audience experience the suffocating pleasure of sitting on pins and needles and unable to breathe.
In addition to the chronic death process mentioned above, the reason for the success of "Death Come 1" is the more gimmicky death rules. The first part created the fixed mode of "die in order", and set up the plot twist of "if the dead person is rescued, the order of death will skip him/her", and at the end, he/she did not forget "a new round after the end of one round". Continue" anti-climax. With the slightly far-fetched arrangement of the second "New Life Ends Death Reincarnation", the series began to slip into the abyss of abandoning the rules and just living in the abyss of death. "Death Comes 5" returns to the first part, which not only continues the "death sequence" setting of the entire series, but also creates the "cannibalism" mode for the first time.
The bonus points of "Death Is Coming 5" are more than that. The paragraphs of the opening subtitles are very visually impactful, and the end of the film is arranged with a large skewer of all the death moments of "Death Is Coming 1, 2, 3, and 4". is exciting. The setting of the ending of the story itself rewinds to the beginning of the first part, which not only makes the audience instantly realize the true face of its "prequel", but also conveys the center of the whole film: no matter how to escape, people will inevitably die in
the end, male, The heroine's death method is a tribute to the director, making the whole series a cycle, and with the help of the first episode, the god of death has a home.
The most fascinating part of the "Death Comes" series is that everyone has an innate fear of death, which leads to infinite meditation; except for old age and death, almost all accidental death methods are explained.
