dying tomorrow

I watched "Death Comes 5" two days ago.

Because the survivors who escaped the disaster with a hunch ended up dying one after the other in the most unexpected way in the order of death that should have happened.

I have seen Korean "Pink High Heels" and Japan's "The Grudge" before, these three are different horror films. ——(The name of these films in the dark makes my back hair cold, I really am not a bold person)

Except for the high-definition bloody death scene, the rest of the shots of "Death Comes" are very clean and bright shots , unlike the two just listed, the camera music is eerie and dark. Death uses the butterfly effect to achieve the purpose of killing the characters in the story with a series of unexpected and continuous cruel coincidences. The deaths of each character are ingenious in series, as if being chased into a dead end on a dark and windy night -- but the dead end is long and winding.

The horror of this movie is that we, like the last few wiser survivors in the movie, have long predicted the inevitability of death in advance. Every little movement, such as a loose screw, a beautiful front desk lady, and a sophisticated ophthalmic surgical instrument, is a foreshadowing, a prelude, and the blob of grass that hides the mine, or it may be the mine. Certainly certain death, uncertain time. Therefore, every next second may be the last second of his/her breath. This certainty and uncertainty causes us, like the protagonists, to be trapped in fear.

We are always afraid of the inevitable death. Fear of death will obliterate our existence and destroy all evidence that we have been in this world. Young people's experience of death is remote, but as one begins to grow older and older, it becomes more and more frightening. There is a detailed analysis of these in When Nietzsche Weeps. When watching "Death is Coming", I only knew that I was afraid of every tiny scene that was deliberately arranged. I was so nervous that I didn't dare to breathe until I saw that the protagonist was finally dead, and then I dared to open the fingers in front of my eyes, hurry up. Exhale and inhale frequently. In fact, this is the fear of death, the fear of the unknown. It's just that in this drama, death and the unknown are coming, making it too late to even react. The high frequency of changes and the intensive surprises reinforce and exaggerate this fear. This is the source of fear.
