Fateful reincarnation

In the spring of 2000, a distinctive youth horror film broke into the audience's field of vision. Eleven years have passed in a blink of an eye, and "Reaper is Coming" has also changed from a single film to a series of films, slowly ushering in the fifth episode with a sequel in three years.
The success of the "Reaper Is Coming" series has received widespread attention because the film has carefully arranged ingenious layouts and unexpected accidents for every disaster survivor's final fate that is difficult to escape. The first "Reaper Is Coming" brings the audience an extremely tense sense of presence and expectation of the death trap. The film is fast-paced, every death is unexpected, but without losing the exquisite layout, the whole film is full of bright spots. . While continuing the style of the first film, the second part of the series focused on the details of accidents and trap arrangements, making the death of every survivor more coincidental and more unexpected. At the end of the film, she escaped from the ending of the first part, allowing the heroine to successfully deceive the god of death and escape her fate. As for the third film, the quality of the film has dropped by more than one grade. Youth horror movies have never been mainstream films. "Reaper is coming 3" completely exiled itself to a production level below third-rate. In the whole movie for more than an hour, except for the roller coaster accident at the beginning and the beauties being baked in the sunbathing oven, the rest of the time has been drowsy. The fourth film crew tried to use 3D technology to regain the entire sharp decline, and worked hard on the details of death, but still did not pay attention to the overall quality of the film, resulting in 3D special effects higher than the entire structure of the film. Although some disadvantages were restored in the audience, it ended in failure.
After experiencing the surprise of the first part, the fierceness of the second part, the vulgarity of the third part, and the 3D gimmick of the fourth part, it is difficult for the audience to have any expectations for the fifth part of "Death is Coming".
As a suspected cult type of film, even if the film is bad, there will always be a group of fans to escort the film. This is the case in "Reaper Is Coming", and even more so in "Chain Saw", going back further, "Black Friday", "Moonlight Panic", and "Mammoth Street" series are nothing more than the same. This is the charm of cult films. No matter how bad the script is, no matter how low-end the production is, there will be a group of fans who come to shout for it.
Fans will still look forward to "Reaper is Coming 5", and still look forward to what kind of surprises and surprises the fifth part will bring. In this way, under the anticipation of many fans, "Reaper is Coming 5" came to the audience. The film tried to return to the style of the first one and tried to add some new elements. It is undeniable that the film's attention to this film cannot be ignored, and a lot of effort has been made to improve the overall quality of the film. However, the clever handling of death is still too far-fetched. Before each death, I tried my best to lay out many kinds of hints, but the final result is often irrelevant to these hints. I want to use this to increase the accidents and coincidences of death. If there is no exquisite layout for accidental death, the "Reaper is Coming" series cannot become an enduring series of films. And deliberately creating accidents will only make the audience feel dull.
The plot structure of "Reaper Coming 5" can be said to have completely surpassed the third and fourth parts, and even started a discussion on human nature. When a person is facing death, he suddenly knows a way to survive, and this method is to kill another person to supplement his life, then how will he choose? At the end of the film, it was the same flight to Paris, France, and the same flight 180. Someone was also asked to get off the plane because of foreseeing something that would cause a dispute. All and everything brought the audience back to 2000, and it was the first time that Grim Reaper started this game on Flight 180 to Paris, France in 2000. Sam and Molly, who thought they had escaped from birth, were no longer able to control their own destiny at this time, and could only let their lives be controlled by the god of death. Immediately before the plane caught fire and exploded, Sam tried his best to save Molly who was swept out of the cabin by the airflow, but he felt powerless. When the fire swept through and swallowed him, only a roar of despair was left. In the end, no one could escape the control of the god of death. Even Nathan, who thought he was safe because he accidentally killed Roy by accident, was smashed by the wreckage of the plane that fell from the sky after learning the truth that Roy would die at any time at the last minute. Nothing left.
The film brings the audience back to the first part of the series, and is also the beginning of the whole nightmare. It also thoroughly confirms the theme of the inescapable fate of the entire series. This is a great reincarnation, and it is also the destiny reincarnation of sentient beings. Since it is destined to end with death, no one can escape the fate of this fate.
