Generally speaking, it is not bad. There are more and more pseudo-documentary horror films, and there are not many that can stand out from the crowd. To be honest, this one is really wonderful, but the camera shakes too much. I watch "Death Video" , "Cemetery Encounters" movies, there is no feeling of dizziness, I am a little dizzy watching this movie, but it is wonderful and very innovative! Segmented pseudo-documentary horror, this is an idea in itself!

Okay, let’s talk about the beginning. At the beginning, the movie was amazing. A man and a woman went naked. As a gay guy, he unconsciously cast his sights on the European and American strong man Tintin. In fact, it’s not too big, it seems European and American. Men's Tintin is not necessarily very big!

Then let’s talk about the first story. A man installed a fake eye and then saw a supernatural phenomenon. To be honest, it’s the same as the second story, which is quite novel. A pseudo-documentary horror film, in short, is to make the rotation of the lens reasonable, and then hide the horror picture in the blind area of ​​the audience's field of vision, and then change the perspective to have the effect of shocking!

In the first story, although the horror lens is not creative, it does scare me. It is still wonderful, but I think that the camera installed in the human eye must at least change the viewpoint to conform to human habits! When we turn our heads, don't we usually keep our eyes fixed, turn our heads first, and then our eyes follow? In this movie, I feel that the man’s eyes are dull, his eyes will not move, he will follow his head and his point of view is out of focus!

Moreover, there is a soundtrack in the first story. The most important thing about a pseudo-documentary horror film is the sense of presence. The soundtrack is superfluous, which makes this movie no different from ordinary horror movies!

Let’s talk about the second story. At the beginning, the handsome Asian guy was amazing, handsome and strong, which made me a gay little excited. Then his girlfriend called, hey~smelly heterosexual →_ →, and just after the phone call, I was bitten into a zombie, hum, let you not get involved, okay, just kidding. The second story is very creative. We have seen a lot of zombie movies, but have you watched zombie movies from the perspective of the zombie? This novel design is indeed very bright.

But in the second story, there is an obvious problem. Take the male protagonist who opened the belly of the first victim as an example. The camera is clearly on the top of the man’s head. If you want to look at the protagonist, then the camera should be able to Take it somewhere else! However, this sentence of mine is really nitpicking. Originally, I was looking at this taste. What else do I look at? So no nonsense. The second story is very heavy. I suggest viewers who don’t look at the heavy mouth. Let's jump over!

But then, the victim, sitting up is very funny! Then the men and women looked at the male protagonist, making them even more funny →_→

Finally, the call of the male protagonist’s girlfriend evokes the last trace of humanity of the male protagonist. He swallowed his gun and committed suicide. It seems that heterosexuality is great →_→ Well, love is very good great!

So let’s talk about the third story. The source subtitle group I was looking for is really lazy. What do those bird words mean? The subtitles given below are actually in pure English, and can only understand a few, it seems to be about a cult!

However, at the beginning of the third story, because I can’t understand bird language and the development of the plot is a bit prolonged, the front is a bit boring, but the horror plot that started suddenly is like a shot of stimulant, which instantly caught my appetite, but The only handsome man in the blue clothes among the leading actors was shot to death. It was a little sad. In short, the story behind this story is very exciting and amazing. I personally feel the best among the 4 stories! However, the leg joints of the heroine's dummy are not done!


Here, there must be a main thread in the middle of the segmented movie. Then the heroine in the main thread committed suicide with the person in the third story, leaving behind a video tape with "watch" on it, leading to the fourth Story!

Okay, let’s talk about the last story. The last story is the most incomprehensible story. The old-fashioned plot of aliens invading the earth and catching people on the earth, even if it uses a pseudo-documentary filming method to show it, has nothing to do with it! This story lowered the level of the whole movie.

I don’t understand the ending either. I personally feel that this movie is a bit unfinished!

In fact, when watching the third story, I always feel that the third story and the second story may be related, because the people in the third story become zombies after they die, and the same is true. The black liquid is on the body!

And at the end of the first story, the boy said that if you watch it in the correct order, it will affect you, but I have been experimenting.

So I feel that these four stories may be connected, so what if the four stories are connected by force?

Alien invasion brings a virus that can turn dead people into zombies. A cult is infected with this virus, so it will become a zombie after death. Then the cult awakens a demon, and on the one hand, the demon caused a demon. In a traffic accident, this accident affected the male protagonist in the first story, so he changed his fake eyes. On the other hand, some zombies ran out to infect other people, which created the second story!

In other words, a cult created a virus to turn a dead person into a zombie, and the cult awakened a demon, the demon caused a traffic accident, and some zombies ran out to infect other people, and then the demon took its hands. Go down and catch innocent people, and finally the little boy will fly up. In fact, the devil took him away, because the devil has wings!

So I watched over and over again, hoping to find some clues, but maybe I was clumsy and could not find it at all, maybe I overestimated the IQ of the screenwriter, maybe I overestimated my own eyesight, in short I feel this movie The plot should not be so simple!

I hope everyone will take a closer look, maybe you can see any clues!

    The English subtitles are too fast, it's a bit hard to watch, but the atmosphere of the picture, sound effects, scenes and other atmospheres seriously make up for the lack

    The most exciting is the cult story, the most interesting is the zombie, the most scary (like a ghost film), the eyeballs, the most inexplicable, the aliens
