I don't like this cruelty

Two teenagers broke into a family of three on the grounds of borrowing eggs, and then slaughtered recklessly, playing with the lives of the family of three. No matter how hard the three struggled, they could not fight back, and even the son and mother escaped on the way. , but were caught. This game of killers is neither the beginning nor the end. After killing the last neighbor, they slaughter this one, and finally go to the next one. There is no reason for their behavior, just for fun. They are placed in omnipotent positions, and even dead can be revived by reversing the remote control. This movie is anti-traditional, even the cruel and evil family like the House of Thousand Corpses deserves what they deserve in the second part, but the people in this movie are completely the butcher as the protagonist, and the murdered family is a natural toy. Looking at other reviews, many attributed the plot to the director's satire of the media. But I think as a movie, this movie didn't bring me shock or joy. I don't like to pretend to be esoteric to give it a deep meaning. I just feel that this movie makes me uncomfortable.

People with different personalities will feel different when watching the film, because in this film the killer looks at the camera many times and talks to the camera. It’s like a murderer recording his crime and showing it on the Internet. People who also enjoy killing will watch it. It's very exciting and refreshing, but the kind-hearted people seem to be passively pulled into this massacre, which is very uncomfortable.
