By whom? depend on you? or on me?

[The director explains the script to the actors]

This film raises a very serious question: When disaster strikes and we need to do multiple-choice questions about who lives and who dies, who should we rely on? You? still me? or anyone. Can we be sure that he will be absolutely impartial? This film tells me that all of us are just ordinary people, no one is worth relying on, and we can do anything in order to survive. Anyone who criticizes the characters in the film is actually saying that they are even more selfish and cruel than the people in the film. After all, the citizens of Madrid, Spain, are much more educated than those of us who are only educated by exams.

In addition to being selfish by nature, when it comes to life and death, our IQ will be discounted, and we will do stupid things that we can't do at ordinary times. So when you sneer at the silly things done by the characters in the film, please check how much knowledge you have about first aid and escape, and then multiply by 50%, which is almost the ability you can show in a critical moment.

Please forget that there is always a morally correct person in Hollywood movies who is good at organizing the plot of everyone to escape from life. In those movies, you only need to feel the tension. Everything else is fake, at least not all true. There is no heavenly book in the world that stipulates that those who show noble sentiments and impersonality in the process of escape will surely die in good health. Everything depends on the game of personality of a group of people.

Taking a step back, what if the person with the most noble character survives, who can ensure that the survival of the TA is correct? Who will formulate this standard, and who will judge the result? Take this film as an example, I believe that the last surviving character is quite in line with the wishes of many audiences, but can you be sure that what TA injected into the body is the antidote? Are the conclusions they conjectured from a few text messages in the bar true? What if the virus is injected into the body? Throughout the whole film, not a single government official or the person in charge of the related scientific research institution came forward to clarify the facts.

Therefore, the one who finally entered the crowd is likely to bring the virus to human society. As the birthplace, the disaster spread outward from the building where TA lived as a stronghold. How the story will develop in the future, please see another wonderful Spanish horror film "Death Video" (here is a forced connection, it is purely nonsense).
