death video

At the beginning, there was also a short paragraph of boring content, but compared with "The Cloverfield File", the beginning of this film is still bearable, at least it is a very story-driven explanation, and it quickly entered the theme ~

Compared with "The Cloverfield File", this film is much more compact and rich in plot. Although it is still the same old-fashioned viral infection and human-biting episodes, it is more watchable due to the different shooting forms.

The protagonist in the film entered the infected building because he followed the firefighters on the show. Such an explanation is more convincing than "The Cloverfield File" holding a DV. At first, it was for the purpose of filming the show, and then because I was forced to isolate here and had to record what happened here, it was more understandable that I had been filming with a DV in this situation. Moreover, the two people in the film are media workers. They are more capable of capturing news value than others. The cameras that will risk their lives in the face of such explosive news images are really a bit real. With a sense of substitution, the style of portable shooting at this time reflects its charm.

Compared to escaping on the street, I find it more terrifying to be in a cramped and enclosed space. I always feel that there are some opportunities outside anyway, but being blocked in a small building will feel less scary. Hopeless, a situation of being abandoned and waiting to die. So in terms of creating the atmosphere, "Death Video" still does a better job, especially in the end, when I suddenly see the face of an infected person on camera in the dark, it's still quite scary, even I've seen it a lot. Horror movie people were taken aback.

REC quotes

  • Ángela: [to Pablo, before interviewing a fireman] If this is a pain in the ass, just cut, okay?

  • Álex: People think we run around, putting out fires but around 70% of the calls we get are for other types of services.

    Ángela: Like what?

    Álex: For example, broken water mains, or pet rescue too. Even though it sounds cliché, it's true.
