fear must be overcome to find the loopholes in this carefully designed puzzle. Only by uniting together can we find a way to save ourselves and reverse it in this cat-and-mouse game. Disadvantage, escape for life!

The tense, complicated, thrilling, and mysterious plot of this movie won the audience's screams at the film festival. The director James Wynne believes that the most successful aspect of his debut is: "The setting of the plot can arouse the audience's imagination, imagine what will happen if you are in a role situation. This unknown element will arouse the audience's interest in watching, you I don’t know where I’m going, what’s going to happen, everything is out of control, that’s the scariest thing.”
The narrative angle of the story in this film is indeed very interesting. It is entirely from the perspective of a victim, not a police investigator. Stand to tell the development of the whole case.

Winner, who participated in the film’s screenwriter, said: “The game designed by the film is more than a cicatricial cough, a cough, a beard, a bed, a beard, a leech, a iridium, and a beard!?
In addition to the bloody horror, what the film tells The story also contains harsh moral connotations. The homicidal behavior is not only driven by cruelty and perversion, he even wants to make the victim aware of the meaning of life, and as a result, a survivor really changes his opinion. Through this cruel method The murderer made the victim recognize the preciousness of life, as he said, “Don’t take it for granted, don’t wait until it’s too late to cherish it.” James Wyn’s comment on this is: “The motivation is good, the way is wrong. "
