As a horror film, it is different from horror films such as "The Grudge": the latter is to "trick" the audience through the fright and fear deliberately created by sight and hearing. Everyone knows that the ghosts and ghosts in the movie do not exist. , the fear may only extend to the dream on the night after watching the movie; and the variety of anwang shown by the former, I can say responsibly, completely exists in real life: most people may just regard it as a curious city Legends, but I've been to anwang...I've also done some of the things the protagonists do in the film, and seen some of the icebergs that show up in the film - so it really scared me.
As a suspense film, its degree of completion is surprisingly high. The plot has at least two twists, each unexpected and reasonable. It doesn't play with concepts like "The Night the Comet Came", or leave too many foreshadowings and tendentious descriptions to fool the audience like "The Invisible Guest" - all the so-called turning points are inevitable, just us and the protagonist. Same, they're all idiots.
And as a film, it breaks the traditional form of film. Like "The Internet Lost", the whole show is full of computer screens. It not only greatly enhances the authenticity and sense of substitution of the film, but also creates a montage effect that does not violate the harmony but can be played infinitely through the program window of the computer-no doubt this exploration is quite successful. And, this movie is better than "The Internet": the latter is just us watching other people's stories, while the "hangout" setting of this film will put the audience into the video hangout. A member of the film - a strong sense of substitution also enhances the authenticity of the film.
The slight deficiency is that there is too much redundant information on the computer screen, and it is easy to fall into confusion when the audience is watching the movie. For example, in the first 30 minutes, the Facebook chat interface kept switching and popping up, which was very fast and difficult to identify. It might be better if more close-ups were used like "The Internet Lost".
