Simple packaging, but many flavors of assorted candies.

Although it is a pseudo-documentary, I think this film is very characteristic and I admire the director. Because of its low cost and small production, it takes many considerations into account:
horror, no spooky background music, no sudden switching of shots, and no intentional one. The flashing lights and the dangling shots are purely a normal reaction of a person with vigilance to the surrounding environment. What he sees is nothing more than what you want to see, what he is worried about is nothing more than what you want to worry about, and what he does is nothing more than what you can do. Take you into a terrifying environment from the first perspective. If it is you, what should you do?
Gameplay, as a game, this is of course unqualified, but this is a movie, and it is already in place. People who have played horror games believe that they will feel like this: After watching the first part, this is "Resident Evil", and after watching the second part, this is more like "Silent Hill". They all have something in common: innocent people are forcibly and "luckily" involved in this rare "top secret" for irrelevant purposes. With limited ammunition, he shuttled back and forth in the same place to find pass items, and then slowly discovered through "waste paper" that there are so many secrets in this small space ("Resident Evil"). Are they just zombies? Is it just a virus-infected person? No, they are victims of demons ("Silent Hill"). What’s even more amazing is that there is another space hidden in the small room, and this space cannot be found by conventional methods, and the BOSS is in it. What did you think of? Yes, "Silent Hill 4: The Chamber of Secrets." The director can be said to have tried his best to integrate the game elements, and the connection between the first and second generations is even better than the game. The end of the first is the beginning of the second, but the protagonist of the first generation is the supporting role or plot character of the second generation, this The technique is not unfamiliar, you can see it in the Biochemistry series or Silent Hill series. In addition, the sewers, survivors, and irreversible roads, while simultaneously ("Resident Evil" 2 and 3).........too many elements, I can not completely connect them with words, and only the viewer himself I'm going to care about it.
Reality, the key words of the first part are virus, infection, humoral transmission, mutation, and no immunity. The second part introduces a new direction-religion and belief. A priest came to find the serum. This director can really talk about it, but I think it may be that the director is injecting realistic meaning into the film. I think what the director wants to metaphor is AIDS. It’s really amazing to say that this virus is not transmitted by mosquitoes, droplets, daily necessities, but bodily fluids. Except for mothers and babies, other channels seem to be contrary to religious beliefs. What is even more strange is that, This virus is very smart. It keeps mutating. It doesn’t kill you. It just weakens you and makes other infections kill you. So I sometimes think it’s more like a curse, like the Ninth Gate said. Yes, the final key to depravity is "fornication." The spread of AIDS is largely related to this, and even mother-to-child transmission seems to be inevitable, but God still leaves a thread and allows mankind to have a way to curse part of it. The end and the previous generation. What's even more amazing is that there are reports that some people are naturally immune to this virus. Are these people more religious in their previous lives? The priest in the film died relatively cleanly, but why did he die? Why did the clearly completed mission be destroyed in the end? Perhaps the director wants to say that a person’s piety can save a person’s soul. He wants to save sentient beings with his piety, but what God wants is the piety of sentient beings, and what he wants is not because of your piety that all sentient beings can give up. Reasons for faith. But at least this believer is qualified, so God allows you to return with a glorious, clean, and untainted soul. I don’t know if it’s right to understand it, but when I talked about it, I suddenly remembered the story of "Sky Fire Burning City" in the Bible: Rhode’s faith still wanted to save others after he had saved himself, but in the end it was of no avail. .

    The actual sequel plot, the camera still shakes badly. The female anchor seems to be reborn as a plastic surgery version, and the priest's eyes under the night vision goggles are more suitable for playing the villain. ps curiosity has no good results for bear children.

    An angry Spanish babble is equal to 10,000 noisy ducks. For details, see the female anchor, the brain-disabled soldier, and a few idiot children...
