      The entire human eradication plan is simply impossible

      If the human eradication plan goes ahead, how can people in the same family not hurt each other?

      Rich men don't like their wives, they want to marry a young man, but they don't want to divorce and share half of the wife's property. Just kill the wife on the annual clearing day, which is completely legal.

      The rebellious bear child who has a bad relationship with his parents, thinks that his parents are nagging, and when he pulls the trigger on the day of clearing, the world is...

      Stimulate

      A very exciting and enjoyable film! The policy assumption of the Human Removal Plan, as well as the black people who were later hunted down, and the wealthy children who were hunted down, all insinuate the problem of class contradictions in the country. The story takes place in a house, and the scenes are concentrated, which makes the story more exciting and intense, and makes people more focused when watching. People are fighting, fleeing, and arguing in the dark. In the dark background, it...

      Will human beings be completely occupied by animal nature after all?

      Probably only the United States dares to make a movie with this theme. If it is put in China, it is estimated that the screenwriters would not dare to think about it.

      The intention of this part is still very clear, that is, good versus evil, and no other tendencies.

      The good and evil of the son and the rebellion of the daughter laid a solid foundation for the death of the father.

      The male lead's family does not participate, the son puts the homeless man in the house, the...

      What attracts me is the poster

      The Human Removal Plan literally thought that it was a kind of killing of the fittest in various harsh environments, just like in the Zombie War, but it turned out that it was not the case at all. Putting aside the simple plot and scenes, it is still a bit of a stretch to talk about the meaning of this plan. These 12 hours a year are nominally to save human beings so that they can have a better living environment, but in fact, in my opinion, it is the original sin of the murderer, to release...

      The good subject was thrown away by the pig screenwriter

      00:54:00 Why are adults becoming confused too? ? ? ? ? ? ?

      -Why do these actions to him?

      -Because if he doesn't go out, the whole family will die! Do you understand!

      If there is a way to do both, of course

      Protect the homeless and the family

      But you don't have the skills

      If not, of course, tell the culprit.

      Not to mention that he threatens you with a gun at your child!

      It's already a big white-eyed wolf!

      sb! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !...

      The atmosphere of the opening was well controlled, but unfortunately, the balance gradually became unbalanced since the mansion was powered off. The environment was used to enhance the atmosphere, but the rhythm could not be adjusted, and there was a lack of depiction of the heart. The trapped beast fight in the latter part is reminiscent of the counterattack after the human nature of "Straw Dog" was swallowed up by fear. A cult movie should be a cult movie. It is too promiscuous, but the sex...

    Creative background

    A movie with an anti-war theme will definitely capture war, and an anti-violence movie will definitely show violence. This is the definition of the film by the producer of the film, Jason Brom. He said: "This is an anti-violence movie with a lot of violent scenes. I just hope that when the audience is watching this movie, they will not be too disgusted with the violence and horror plot. It should be said that James Demer Nack’s...
