They are at fault, but they are not guilty of death.

"Release Friends" tells the story of several high school students. Their friend Laura committed suicide a year ago and caused a huge sensation in the local area. Laura's death, these classmates couldn't get rid of the relationship, what did they do?

The beginning of the story is a short video of Laura committing suicide . Claire is watching the video. Tonight is the first anniversary of Laura's suicide .

Claire is watching the video, and his boyfriend Mickey invites her to video chat, and the two begin to provoke across the screen.

Just then three of their other friends also intervened, and Claire and Mitch, who were panicked, hurriedly arranged their clothes and chatted with everyone.

What makes the little couple a little puzzled is how they suddenly came in, and there is a mysterious character Lily in the group chat , no matter what they do, Lily is in their group chat.

At this time, the dead Laura started chatting with Claire on Facebook. At first she thought it was Mickey who was spoofing, but later found out that Mickey didn't know anything. After replying to Laura, Claire found on the Internet that he could not reply to the dead person's message because he would die!

At this time in their group chat, Mysterious Lily began to speak. She revealed that the girl Val had sent a lot of "let her Laura die" words before. And Lily's information shows that she is the dead Laura . So Val became the first "dropped" character.

Then everyone panicked and didn't dare to call the police. Finally, the fat man got a Trojan horse from nowhere and wanted to paralyze the other party's system. The result just came to fruition. Soon Lily appeared in the group chat again. The camera's angle of view was displayed behind Ken, and then Ken was killed and dropped.

Then a new round of the game has just begun, and the person who loses the game has only one word: death. The content of the game is to expose the deception between them, so the new round of the game becomes a four-player battle.

The ugly scene of friends betraying each other is exactly the online spectator hiding behind the dead Laura. By exposing the darkness in their hearts a little bit, they eventually killed the four of them one by one, as a matter of course.

Human nature can never be tested, because you don't know how evil he is.

At the end of the movie, I want to say please be nice to the people around you and those around you. Don't use your own phrase "I'm just making a joke" to cover up your harm to others. You can make jokes but don't hurt others.

When it comes to cyber violence, I always feel far away from ourselves, but cyber violence is all around us. A simple post may be a great harm to others. You may think that hiding in the virtual online world will be safe, but is it really the case?

I do not think so. Reply to "Remove Friends" in the background to watch~
