Death is Coming/Happy Death Day Companion

Said to be the companions of Death is Coming and Happy Death Day, the settings are still slightly different. The dead in the time of death (great praise for the Chinese translation of this film) are not the characters in the series like Death is coming. They are the survivors of a certain accident, and they are not like the heroine in Happy Death Day. There are many opportunities to come back. The deceased in this film didn't seem to have done anything injurious before their death, and the time left after downloading the app is entirely up to personal luck (the attending doctor who harassed female staff in the hospital could live for more than 50 years).

In addition, the god of death in this film is real, which is different from the god of death in the series where the god of death is coming to get rid of the survivors by using various natural forces to produce accidents.

Since I watched a movie in a French cinema with French subtitles, but I wanted to practice English listening and didn't read the subtitles very much, so I didn't get some plots. For example, I don’t understand the part where the priest tells how to deceive the god of death (ps: The actor who played the priest has really played the god of death 5, commonly known as the acupuncture man)

The actor who plays the younger sister is also not familiar, she is the cursed little girl in Annabella 2.

Other roles, including the protagonist, are all third- and fourth-tier actors in Europe and America...

There are no less than ten jump scares in this film, all of which are well designed, especially the scene where the heroine puts down her laptop. It's amazing that the young man's corpse in the mortuary will turn his head to look at the heroine. The soundtrack is also spooky.

The film is 90 minutes long, which is short and powerful. Like Light Out, it enters the plot shortly after the opening. It's a pity that the protagonist's emotional line is relatively weak, and it feels a bit forced chicken soup. As a horror film for the occasion, it still passed, and then Imdb did not score 6 points.

    The concept of the story is very attractive. Although there are no flowers, the story is complete, the logic is self-consistent, and the various jump scares combined with the powerful sound effects scared me enough. The software size of 60G is useless, but it adds bugs. I don’t know what the screenwriter thinks. People with small memory/low traffic probably don’t deserve to be cursed.

    This god of death must have been a programmer who changed the code to death from overwork.

Countdown quotes

  • Father John: [from the trailer] All we have to do is beat the clock by one second.

    Father John: If this is a curse, since they come from the devil and his demons than curses can be broken, all you have too do is prove the devil is a liar.

  • Derek: You have more computing power in your pocket than NASA did when they put a man on the moon, but you use it for mostly texting and Facebook. This is why humanity's doomed.
