I don't think this movie is a horror movie, it should be a human nature movie. The idea of "Human Removal Plan" is a very American idea. Disrespecting human rights and ignoring human nature is the norm in the United States, which can be seen from this epidemic. This movie also has the same effect as the epidemic. To put it bluntly, this eradication plan is to eradicate the non-contributors in society - the homeless, the elderly, the poor and the sick, and even racial discrimination is involved, so black people are not safe. Really typical American society. Movies are used to reflect social problems. From this perspective, this movie is very successful because it makes every audience immerse in thinking about this problem. Do the "useless" people in society really deserve to die? In fact, I myself do not stand firmly on the moral side of this issue. Because the existence of "useless" people occupies a lot of resources, it is indeed a burden to society. But I'm not qualified to think that way, because everyone has a purpose and you feel they are useless just because they are useless to you, not their existence. And because of emotional factors, it is impossible to completely eliminate "useless" people.
