Not brilliant at all, just naked cruelty

To say that it is eye-catching and exciting, this film is completely irrelevant. Most of the time, it uses interspersed plots to outline an ordinary high school and the ordinary students in it. It is very freehand and very real, first let you feel that every student in it All flesh and blood really exist - and then kill them one by one.

The massacre is so cruel, I'm used to mainstream movies and I always hope that someone will stand up to stop the tragedy, or at least have some hope. But there are no heroes, no The lucky escapee was shot and killed before the budding of righteousness and courage. The screenwriter only found at the end that the cruel story was not finished. Even so, I can't see a hopeful ending

. Very, very successful, touching hearts with extreme brutality and authenticity.
