Most of the shots in the whole movie are familiar computer desktops and familiar video chat windows. The story begins with the male protagonist owning a new computer and using it to video chat with his friends and girlfriends. The male protagonist's girlfriend is deaf, so the male protagonist made a software that can convert text into sign language, which also played an important role at the end of the story.
When the male protagonist was showing off the new computer to his friends, he received a message from the original owner of the computer, and things started to develop out of control. The criminal organization of "Dark River" is displayed in front of the audience. The movie shows a lot of things that seem incredible, but are possible in reality. On the Internet, someone may easily get your information from the photos, videos, and location you posted online, monitor your communications, and even fabricate some information out of nothing based on this information. It's creepy to think about it.
The most unexpected and terrifying thing is that in the second half of the film, we began to know that it was a trap from the moment the male protagonist picked up the computer. A plan of the "Sinners"... At the end of the movie, the policemen, nurses, people watching the fun, etc. smiling in front of the camera are all members of the dark river, and it also implies that many people have dual identities on the Internet and reality, maybe The day before yesterday, you quarreled with you on the Internet, and the person who spoke badly was the person around you...
Because of the anonymity of the Internet, you never know whether the person you are chatting with on the Internet is male or female, good or bad, true or false. After all, what the person on the other side shows you may only be what he wants to show you. On the one hand, we must pay attention to protecting ourselves both in reality and online.
