This shooting angle, it should be, it is very economical, and it is very real. Several times I forgot that I was watching a movie, once thought I was chatting, once thought my computer was down, swiped the mouse a few times to see if I needed to restart, and then reacted: oh, this is still there in the film. . . . .
Really, the sense of substitution is very strong.
It was a little boring from the beginning, what the hell, is it so rough, is this also called a movie?
The story unfolds slowly with the chat, buying and stealing computers (to be precise, picking...), the transformation of fake games and the real dark web. False coercion and self-denial.
The whole film is played in several chat windows and constant typing. There is only one computer screen in the whole film, but on the contrary, this "first perspective" feeling is very real, and it feels like I'm looking at me. Computer screen, switching between different chat windows, typing, chatting, and discovering these strange folders and videos step by step. . .
The rhythm is from the doubts at the beginning, from the constant discovery of strange clues in the computer, to the increasing amount of information, the back is chilled, and various chat windows keep popping up, friends and NPCs synchronously swipe the same dialogue. , coupled with the character of a deaf-mute girlfriend, the more urgent the communication, the more difficult it is to communicate, it is like the feeling of being trapped in a nightmare: only the inner urgency, but the behavior is helpless. All the decisions that need to be taken off the horse in a panic, and there is no time to consider the constantly advancing plot makes the film's rhythm more urgent. The film does not delve into the unfathomable world of the dark web, but it expresses the fear and oppression of the dark web very well.
A pair of lilies with police friends, Damon who is sure to be safe in London, AJ who hides in the basement and will not be found, and the male protagonist who returns the computer and everything will pass. . . . They take it for granted, and in the end they all turn into missing names on the friend list, giving you no time to think and react at all.
This film has no blood, no violence, no ghosts, but it is really a horror film.
Erica, who appears at the end of the film, has an empty blood hole on her head. I can't imagine if there is a living thing there, as I said before. . . .
This scene seems to re-emphasize: this is all true.
The biggest fear in this film comes from the fact that you feel that he will find him by your side at any time.
