Only death will live forever

The film is composed of five short stories, which are interconnected and connected to each other.

In the first story, two men killed a family of three in the fifth story because of revenge. They who had killed people were burdened with sins, were targeted by the gods of death, and they would never escape the highway heading south. One of them was finally killed by the god of death, which is considered to be a happy death, while the other will always be trapped in the scene where his daughter died, unable to escape, unable to redeem, and suffering for eternal life in an endless cycle.

In the second story, the four girls are best friends. One of them died. The story does not tell the cause of death, but the other three girls must not escape responsibility. In this way, the three girls also drove into the end, the car broke down, and destined to meet a local family. This family and friends of this family should all be the devil who betrayed their souls. The two girls in the girlfriend group had insufficient brains. They were poisoned, rituals like a cult, and became demons. The last girl with a little bit of brain ran away more witty, and was accidentally hit by a man who was driving and calling his wife. This is not a coincidence, because the person whom the god of death looks for will not let it go.

In the third story, Lucas, the man who bumped into the girl, is the only one who survives in this movie. After hitting a person, he got out of the car and found that there were no witnesses or street lights around. It can be seen that he was tangled at this time. He wanted to escape, so he sat back in the car and kept breathing heavily. But this man has a conscience. Seeing the girl who was hit in such pain, he couldn't bear to leave, so he called 911. Unexpectedly, at this time, his call was not made at all, and it was actually a group of trapped demons who answered the call. At this time, he should have been stared at by Death. Under misinformation, Lucas “rescued” the girl, causing her death and suffering a lot. But Lucas was really trying to save the girl, so he was let go by death. It can be expected that if he escaped at the time & did not rescue the girl & evade responsibility, he would definitely die. It was conscience that saved him.

In the fourth story, an older brother broke into a small town full of demons, trying to find his missing sister. The elder brother wholeheartedly wanted to save his sister, but he didn't expect that his sister was also a natural bloodthirsty devil, and he didn't want to leave. What did this brother do wrong? Why were you killed? I think he was wrong in stubbornness. After looking for his sister for 13 years, he finally found it. However, regardless of his sister's wishes, he insisted on taking her away, so he did not hesitate to provoke the devil. People must learn to give up, otherwise they will only bring evil results for themselves.

In the fifth story, a family of three is warm and harmonious, the father is handsome, the mother is gentle and the daughter is beautiful, but the seemingly perfect family has a dark side. Dad may have killed a little girl by mistake, but evaded responsibility. Under the arrangement of the god of death, he has to pay the price. Finally, the little girl's father brought his helper to find him for revenge. A family of three was killed, but the poor mother and daughter were innocent... What the film wants to express is that if a person cannot bear his own sins, then the person he loves the most will also be hurt by his own sins.

If you don't know it, you can forgive it, but you have to pay a price, just like the male protagonist in the third story.
If you have a heart, you cannot forgive it; if you have a mistake without knowing it, you cannot forgive it. Just like the people in the first, second, fourth, or fifth story.
However, people will always die, only death is immortal, and it is meaningless to fight against it.

The recommended "Savage Story" like this kind of movie, although the theme is different, but the format is similar, and more exciting.
