The film is a live-action upgraded version of Werewolf. Although it is a campus horror movie, it does not use blood and violence as a horror selling point. What's really scary is that the "guilt" wolf is by your side, and you can't guess it. The story takes place in a small town. There is a boarding school where students are either rich or expensive. Before the protagonists appeared on the stage, a murder occurred on the campus. A female high school student was hunted down and shot dead in the woods. The homicide made the town people panic. But when the picture turned warmer, everything returned to calm, and the story officially began. Owen, the male protagonist, transferred here on the first day. Unfortunately, he got lost on the huge campus. Then the heroine Daojie appeared. She said that she knew about Owen's arrival because the small town rumors spread quickly. Under the leadership of Daojie, Owen found the dormitory and met his new roommate, Tom. On the first night, Tom approached Owen’s bed and said to him: Let’s play a game! At first, Owen refused. But when he heard that it was Daojie's invitation, he followed Tom to the school auditorium. When he got there, he found that the game members not only had Daojie and Tom, but also a few strange faces. These people are all members of the "Lying Club". They get together and often play the "wolf eats sheep" game. The rules of the game are: the shepherd secretly chooses one person to be a wolf, and the others are sheep. The wolf must pretend to be, and the sheep must find the wolf. Their purpose is only one: to avoid being suspected. Manipulate your friends and destroy your enemies. Lying and demolition, disguise and truth, are all available means. If the wolf wins, he can get all the money; the sheep recognizes the wolf, and if it succeeds, the money will go to the TA.
This time, the shepherd Daojie chose the newcomer Owen as the wolf. Although very adventurous, it turns out that he is very suitable. Perceptiveness. Potentially "opinion leaders". The cheek is not red and the heart is not beating, the perfect disguise lies. In the end, Owen came to the fore and became the final winner. But the previous game players, full of grievances and dissatisfaction. Daojie attributed the failure of the old members to being too familiar with each other. So, she came up with a new way to play-upgrade the "wolf eating sheep" game to "killing game", and expand the number of participants to the whole school. A bunch of wealthy children who don’t lack food and money, the only boring ones are pranks to entertain the time. So they hit it off and passed the plan unanimously. The previous "campus homicide" became a breakthrough to open a new game. Dao Jie became the leader of the game, using the school mailbox to create public opinion that the murderer was on the campus. The purpose is to let the teachers and students of the school live in a panic of wondering who the murderer is. The event is moving in the direction they envisioned. But since Owen sent this email, his life has also become abnormal. First, he received a warning message from the "wolf" and said that he would kill all the people who spread the rumors. He thought it was other companions who were playing a prank. I have asked everyone, and they all have an alibi. Then the schoolbag disappeared inexplicably, and found it inexplicably. And there was a knife of unknown origin in the recovered schoolbag. At the same time, Owen's dormitory was smashed. During this time, club member Randall went to see his girlfriend outside. On the computer, Owen found Dolland's tongue. He thinks all this is a prank by Dolland. Unexpectedly, Dauerland's girlfriend told him that Dauerland hadn't looked for her at all. At this time, all Owen's doubts returned to the origin again. But terrible things are still happening. At the Halloween party, Owen was chased by the murderer again. Oh my god, is this the real murderer or his companions pranking? Stupidly unclear, Irving also fell into a panic. Fortunately, Owen ran faster and ran into the police. It turned out that the murderer was posing as a companion, and the chase after the murderer was perfectly resolved this time. In this game of suspicion and suspicion, chase and anti-chase, Owen suffers. In the end, he had to take the initiative to stop the plan. When they assembled in the school hall again, their companions began to be honest about the pranks they had done to Irving. But who is the "wolf" who sent the message is still at a loss. At the same time, terrible things happened again. Facts have proved that the game is not over, the real murderer begins to emerge. When the prank companion who was caught by the police before was taking a bath, a man in black appeared behind him inexplicably. Then there was a shout. The black boyfriend who went to rescue her was also dragged away, leaving only the dragging blood. In the auditorium, the female companion Blood stains appeared on his forehead inexplicably. Following the blood stains, they found Dolland's body. And Dao Jie was also chased by people in black. The murderer carried out a planned killing, and the members of the "liar club" were the targets of the TA. I have to say that they were all deeply intoxicated by the lies weaving. Unexpectedly, the lie became true. They wanted to fool others but became the playthings of murderers. In Owen's eyes, "club members" are either hunted down or killed. Everyone can perfectly remove suspicion. Could someone else get involved? In addition, who is the "wolf" hiding in the dark? Until now it is still unknown. The best part of the film lies in the multiple reversals of the plot, which completely achieves the effect of "unexpected and reasonable". The first half of the plot has laid too much foreshadowing, making people think that anyone may be the murderer. As the plot develops, it will once again fall into confusion. This movie is a real version of werewolf killing game. Unlike reality, "club members" fight each other. Can't form cliques, can only be in suspicion and persecution. As the saying goes, it is not terrible for a person to lie, but what is terrible is that a group of people are lying. But in the end, no one can believe anyone. The "wolf" hiding in the dark can actually use a fake show of human nature to kill people with a knife.
