After finishing a German thriller, this is the first time I watched a German thriller. It is said that this thriller is really good. If you are weak and timid, don't watch it. If you want to watch this film, please prepare a quilt or pillow, because you will be inexplicably stabbed in the sensory nerves and suddenly startled. Even someone like me who often plays thrillers at night was frightened. Well, you have to be careful.
This is such an enjoyable thriller that I have to use dozens of seconds to buffer while watching it. Although the plot of this movie is somewhat similar to unfriending, the director also did what he should do with humility and learning when making this movie.
Internet addiction is like the bow-headed people in our society today. The director's clever use of this point to integrate into the film is indeed quite interesting. The heroine in the film spends almost 24 hours a day on Facebook, and every bit of her life is posted on Facebook. In fact, just like we do now, we like to send bits and pieces of our life to the circle of friends. Although this may seem like nothing, for the heroine, danger is approaching her.
Friends on the Internet, it seems like nothing. However, when you make a confirmation to add this action, you may be the next target. The heroine Lola has friends around her and many fans on Facebook; while Marina is isolated by her classmates and has low self-esteem. When she saw Lola, she just wanted to be friends with her, so she kept following her on Facebook. For Marina, confirming a friend is a lifelong friend, even beyond the boundaries of a friend. Who would have thought that Lola, who thought she would get along well, would be afraid of Marina's harassment, so she made the action of deleting her friend, but she didn't expect that this was just the beginning of death.
What appeals to me about this film is also the exploration of human nature. When his friends stopped helping her, he blamed her, thinking it was all because of her. Even the person who had a crush on him wanted to kill him. He thought that only by killing the heroine would he be spared. Thinking about it again, once your life is in danger, which "friend" will come forward.
This film is also not a pure horror film, adding curses, black mirrors, and evil spirits. Similar to "The Conjuring", "The Exorcist", "Hidden", etc., have been mentioned. This film adheres to the spirit of what happens for a reason, making friends the fatal key, and allowing the darkness to continue to be dark. In the same way, it also satirizes those fake friends, when it is critical, they can "delete" you.
I thought, just I thought. I thought that at the end of the story, there would be a happy ending. Unexpectedly, Lola has become another Marina, the horror continues, and the curse continues to cycle.
Personally, I think this film is better than The Conjuring. Why do you say that? Spiritualization is to know where people are scary and to be prepared to be scared. But in this film, you have no chance to prepare at all, ready to be scared at any time, and you have no idea how it will scare you. The plot is compact and not rambling. Maybe you will feel that the story is developing too fast when you watch it, but it should have an explanation, and also play the sentence of Marina's curse "I will make you taste lonely". to complete.
