With the great influence of The Social Network on the real world, more and more movies are based on this background. Apart from that, the work " The Social Network " (2010) that set a monument for Facebook has aroused a wave of enthusiasm. In this craze, Hideo Nakata, the leading Japanese horror film, is unwilling to lag behind the trend of the times. With the earlier online Chatroom as the background, he wants to deduce a network fright. Speaking of Hideo Nakata, a "リング" (1998) made him almost complete his merits, and he was also named in the horror film circle because of " Yamamura Sadako her father". However, because of the achievements of "リング", his future films are always under great pressure in the shadow of Yamamura Sadako, and it is difficult to replicate the past legends. Although films such as " Dark Water " (2002) are also excellent works, they are beyond "リング" has become a shackle attached to him. While making breakthroughs in his home country, Hideo Nakata also tried to find inspiration worldwide, but a " American version of リング 2 " did not turn him over. This time he simply came to the UK to form a younger youth cast. The lineup, the youthful atmosphere, and the Internet age, it seems that Hideo Nakata will use traditional Asian horror and European youth films to recreate it.
In fact, although Hideo Nakata is the director, Enda Wash is even more worth mentioning in the core character of this film. The Irish playwright did not have many works in the field of film, but with a " Hunger " (2008), he created the shocking image of the leader of the Northern Ireland Republican Army Bobby Sands on the hunger strike in prison. At the same time, he also made achievements. The glory of the year starring Michael Fassbender . And this "Chatroom" was actually a play created by Walsh at the very beginning. He himself said, "It is an extraordinary decision to show six 15-year-old young people on the stage in a constant dialogue.Because the scene in the drama is an online Chatroom, the actors need to convince the audience that they cannot see each other and cannot have face-to-face conversations.". Of course, in the movie, Walsh doesn't have to worry about such a problem. He also took the lead personally, completed the adaptation of the dialogue script, and presented the final movie script. As for the creative theme of the film, Walsh hopes to express some of his worries about the dark side of the current Internet society. In his view, the Internet has changed the structure of society and brought some complexity and danger to society. The virtual world takes young people away from the real world, thus exposing the primitive side of human nature, which is followed by an explosion of the evil side of human nature. It seems that when Walsh created this horror drama and movie, he also brought his own serious social thinking, and the effect of the grafting of this seriousness with the oriental horror style is also a concern for the audience.
