The Fall of Celebrities

The content of the story is actually quite interesting, deliberately integrating "Internet addiction" into the film, using communication software and "social networking sites" that are inseparable from modern people to make it easier for audiences to resonate. In the era of modern information development , Many people often do not confirm whether they know the friend invitation sent to them, and they will add it first. Instead, there are more fake friends like the so-called "face friends", and there are netizens who have never met in the society. , The cases of falling in love with yourself or harassing others, and even committing crimes have begun to rise without chatting.

"Friends on the Internet" seem to be nothing, but an action of "confirming friends" may seem to different people. It will have different meanings, such as: Does the senior who has a crush on agreeing to apply for a friend mean that the other party also likes you? Such "personal thoughts" can easily expand the inspection of such inadvertent behavior, such as the way Marina thinks Lola is her friend in the play. Because of the action of "confirming friends", Marina identified each other as friends, but to Laura, the other party was only "because she knew who it was", so she pressed the confirm button. Of course, in the future, maybe the two of them could really become good best friends. However, the rapid progress in the first acquaintance stage and Marina's staring eyes made Laura frightened, and finally she chose to delete her friends.

Since the story is based on "friends", the plot will be extended in different degrees according to this element. Leaving aside Lola's danger to her friends beside her, I personally think the interesting point is that you can see human nature, such as the first one in the elevator. After the dead fat man's girlfriend Isabelle was hospitalized, she started to blame Lola for causing everyone to have nightmares. The third girl with a gun shot didn't want to stay to help Lola after she began to have hallucinations, and originally had a crush on Lola. Laura's computer expert, Kirby, was the first to discover Marina's curse, and also realized the meaning of the phrase "I will make you feel lonely": everyone around you will die one by one, but Laura will be unscathed. . So he went from helping her to trying to kill her because he thought that if Laura died, Marina's curse wouldn't come true and he would survive. Maybe this film wants to explore human nature and friendship. How many people are willing to die for their friends when it involves endangering their own lives?

However, this film is not a pure horror film. Instead, things like curses, black magic, and mirrors are added. Although this type of horror film is just a bunch of them, such as "Soul Calling", "Evil Fall", "Poison Key" Wait, but "Must Die" adheres to the spirit that everything happens for a reason, making friends the key to fatalities, not to mention those face friends who have become friends with Lola just because she is a powerful person, encountering events or Get in trouble and get out of the relationship, maybe this film is trying to satirize such a weak and fragile keyboard friend through such a story.

But in all fairness, "Must Die" is not so scary, nor is it to the extent that it will really frighten people. The key scenes often end in an instant. If you love horror movies, the audience may be disappointed,

but if you ask me this Is the film good? I think it's good. The plot of the whole film is compact and not dragging on water at all. It seems to be progressing very quickly from the beginning, the middle transition to the end, but there is an explanation that should be explained, and the sentence of Marina's curse "I will "Let you taste loneliness" is played out thoroughly, and all the friends, relatives, and boyfriends around him suffer. Although Lola's final ending is not tragic, it is not much better. It is completely missing that other types of movies will finally break the curse and give the protagonist hope. The sweet ending, but the beginning of the cycle of BAD ENING.
