It collapsed at the beginning of the year, withdrawn in the middle of the year, and not found at the end of the year.

What should have been like a 2020 horror movie with chicken blood, 9 months later, and staying on the throne, is still "The Invisible Man" directed by Ray Warner , which was released in February .

The ruthless characters such as "A Quiet Place 2", "Malignant" and "Moonlight Panic: Killing" , which should have been brilliant, basically have to sit on the bench for a year, which makes people want to see.

"A Quiet Place 2"

Among them, fans' expectations are full, and "Chainsaw 9: Vortex" , directed by Darren Lynn Bosman, one of the directors of the series , is also unavoidable.

Although he can't watch the reboot of the big production by Bosman for the time being, he has also directed another upcoming horror movie that seems to be a high-concept and suspenseful theme - "Death of Myself" .

In recent years, there are not a few horror movies that have played with high concepts, but many of the finished films are gimmicks and no concept.

Similar to "avoid down time" "Fantasy Island," "Truth or Dare" such as a public trailer seems almost a miracle of God, people address him WTF movie, it will become a positive Holy shit.

"Fantasy Island"

Bousman also played a high concept this time - is it life or death?

Judging from the short trailer released this month and the title The Death of Me , the plot of the film can already be known.

The heroine Christina and her husband Neil woke up with a hangover in the hotel overnight. They were unwell and had no recollection of what happened last night. With a splitting headache, Neil found a camera that could answer the question.

The photos inside and the two-and-a-half-hour video didn't calm them down, but only made them more "square"...

At the beginning of the video, the couple on the lawn are still on fire.

But the plot took a 180-degree turn. One second, you were arrogant, and the next second, Neil held Tina down, strangled her neck, killed his wife, and buried him in the lawn .

At the end of the video, Tina, after watching the video, shouted to her husband:

what the hell? !

This is where the suspense of the film begins. What is Tina, who was killed and buried in the video, but who is alive and well outside the video?

The trust of the couple collapsed in an instant, and Neil categorically denied the authenticity of the video.

Tina expressed doubts. As a living person, she now has no idea whether she is dead or alive , and strangles have begun to appear on her neck.

The background and location of the film were first revealed in Neil's mouth - Thailand .

The couple came to Thailand for vacation for some reason, and on the night when the memory disappeared, Neil suspected that they were drugged by the locals.

"I am already dead, why am I still standing here?"

Spooky children, terrifying rituals, hallucinations, or truth, can't solve the danger Tina will face.

Countless flashbacks of religious scenes have suggested that her and Neil's encounters are shrouded in conspiracy, and the two men's previously precarious marriage is clouded.

"It's almost impossible to leave the island and we'll die horribly."

Neil, who was struggling to find the truth, seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Tina, who found her fallen husband on the beach, presented the most distinctive picture in months - the beach of living corpses .

The sea water faded away, and those mud-colored stone-like protrusions were actually weird people with their mouths and eyes sewn shut .

Tina was finally placed on the stone platform for sacrifice , and the natives whose faces were sewn up flashed by, and the life and death of the couple were uncertain.

In the short notice , the concepts of life and death and cults are ready to emerge .

This is not the first time that Li Meiqi, who plays the heroine, has appeared in a horror film with a stick-like color.

As mentioned earlier, she also starred in "Never Island" released in February this year .

The film, which talks about the combination of reality and reality on a mysterious island, has a strange and blunt effect, and it is a hodgepodge of theme dramas that are rotten and unique.

Li Meiqi's performance in the new film is expected, and Luke Hemsworth, who plays the male lead Neil, surprised me.

After reading his surname, you may have already thought of who he is.

He is the eldest brother of " Brother Hammer" Chris Hemsworth , so he can be called "Brother Sledgehammer" .

Because less famous in recent years Luke's most famous role was "Western world" in Ashley .

"Westworld"

Interestingly, in "Thor 3: Ragnarok " , two actors played Thor and Loki on the stage respectively , the latter was made a cameo by Matt Damon , and the former was played by Luke.

With only these two leading actors, in fact, the cast lineup has beaten a lot of terrifying salted fish in comparison.

The name of director Darren Lynn Bousman is not so reassuring.

Since saying goodbye with the "Chainsaw" series in 2007 , Bousman's resume has been red, and some bad films have embarked on a career that is against the sky .

Even "Saint Agatha" , which scored 63 points at station M in 2018, has a mess of fans' reputation.

It is reasonable to say that this year is a big year for him to return to the peak of his life and embrace his youth.

It can be good luck. "Chainsaw 9: Vortex" packed up and moved to May next year. Can I change my life ahead of time and look up to this "Death of Myself"?

At least Bousman has directed three "Chainsaws", and the suspense setting believes that he has a good idea.

But don't forget that the film is a horror film that integrates Thai culture. Just as Hollywood can't make Japanese horror, it depends on how much real kung fu Bosman has when it comes to Hollywood's Thai taste.

Cults, sacrifices, unreal mysteries of life and death, and if several concepts are out of control, it is difficult for Bousman to grasp this wild horse.

There is one more interesting point to mention about the director.

This strange man with his mouth and eyes sewn on the beach of living corpses is obviously similar to the mouth and eye game at the beginning of "Chainsaw 4" .

This fourth film is the last "Chainsaw" directed by Bosman that year, which is quite missed.

In short, "Death of Me", with an absolutely luxurious cast and an unstable director, will be released in the United States on October 2.

It is estimated that it will not be long before meeting with domestic fans, so let's just treat it as an appetizer before the arrival of "Chainsaw 9: Vortex" . After all, whether Tina played by Li Meiqi is alive or dead is quite appetizing .
