In order to pay tribute to a thriller that is famous for its truth, so... Close the door, turn off the lights and draw the curtains, the notebook in front of you is the only light source. In the dark, the senses are infinitely magnified "I understand the word "death" very deeply, and regret it"

The beginning of the story creates a very lighthearted, seemingly real-life reenactment. Until the appearance of the old woman, the bald police officer was bitten, the atmosphere immediately became tense, and there was no pause until the end of the story.

The hostess and the cameraman constitute a unique scene of a TV interview, which is immersive and observes the situation in real time, and I am already in the play holding the little yellow duck, like an old man who has been following the cameraman on this zombie night. Escape from the apartment building.

This is a good thriller that focuses on the plot. The building was suddenly blocked by the government, and the whole building was stunned. Unraveling the mystery through interviews gives the feeling of watching a documentary. The loud voice of the Spaniard, the screams of the terrified host, the screams of the zombies, the constant shaking of the camera and never knowing what will happen in the next second... and then the climax of the film, the surviving cameraman and host mistakenly break into the attic , Mysteries solved, and religious beliefs involved? Interesting... The night vision footage in the last seven minutes is really "super scary", with the weird newspaper materials and experimental instruments in the difficult room. The little boy who appeared out of nowhere was so frightened that I immediately took off my earphones...and the mummified corpse left over from the experiment ate the photographer...At the end of the whole episode, the only survivor was someone, Li, who was still in shock and hugged the little yellow duck...

Immersive horror, a fleeting intimacy of despair, can be exhilarating and produce the momentary euphoria of the aftermath—that’s probably what the thriller is all about…
