Death Video, Real Fear

I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it, and I liked this kind of documentary film.
The content of the movie is very simple, so simple that people will forget it after watching it once, but the sense of fear is really exaggerated by the director using real methods. Zombie movies are not very scary at all. After watching the Resident Evil series In the future world in China, after the zombies in the Living Dead series even had IQs, I felt that the original face of a zombie movie should be that the zombies blindly chase, and the only remaining humans run desperately. This is what a zombie movie should express. Compared with Crisis, the protagonist is too invincible, which is obviously not acceptable to me, and, to be honest, I don’t like the biochemical series very much. It is not so much a zombie movie. Compared with 28 Days of Shock, the hero's invincible performance at the end made me feel a little unfinished, and the death video, the flat story, is grassroots, a group of grassroots abandoned by the government, at least I see it. There is a very realistic sense of identity, and there is no Jesus suddenly descending to punish the devil at the end, it's okay, it's okay.
Compared with other films shot in the form of documentaries, the theme of Ultraman fighting little monsters in Cloverfield is not my favorite. I just wonder why the camera battery in Cloverfield can last so long? Compared with this, it is okay to have less contact in the fourth category. For the time being, it doesn't matter whether there is a clear statement in the movie or whether there is ET, but people also say it at the beginning of the film, and it is up to the audience to choose. From the beginning to the end, the death video can give you a coherent sense of oppression, which is not easy.
Maybe it's impossible for a movie to win everyone's approval, at least I think death video is the best loss movie in my opinion.
