No rules, no standards.
A suspenseful movie without a routine...no one watches it.
In suspense movies, puzzle solving is a very important element.
So that in the process of watching the movie, you can directly infer the conclusion of the story through the plot.
It has to be said that although some movies have concealed the clues of the ending very well, the traps set for the audience are also one after another.
But it can still be boring if the ending isn't great.
But the movie that Kuaisoujun wants to talk to you about today tells you that the real routine actually starts from the end!
"The Jackal Project"
The movie starts off with a thrilling, suspenseful, dark feel.
A woman was chased and ran wild in the dark woods, but was caught and headshot.
Soon this murder case spread throughout the town, and people panicked for a while.
The male protagonist, Owen , was ordered to drop out of school because of his puppy love, and transferred to this small town.
On the first day of school, the director arranged a meeting between Owen and the heroine Douji - getting lost and asking for directions.
Owen, who was unfamiliar in life, was warmly taken care of by the heroine, and silently planted a small seed of love in his heart.
Does it smell like an idol drama? But the fear is just about to begin...
In the evening, Owen went back to the dormitory to sleep, but was woken up by his roommate in the middle of the night.
Ask him if he wants to play something "exciting"? It is also indicated that the hostess has kindly invited it.
As soon as he heard that the hostess invited him, Owen agreed without much thought.
So they came to a broken church where a bunch of people got together and were about to play a "liar game" .
They call it the "Liar Club" , and the heroine seems to be the soul boss of the club.
The gameplay is simple, and in a nutshell: use your friends, destroy your enemies, and avoid suspicion.
In fact, it's like killing a werewolf...
The liar is a wolf, and he must hide himself and kill all the sheep to be considered a victory.
Despite Owen's innocuous face, he's actually a master at hiding.
Observing everyone keenly, without changing his face or heartbeat, he showed a perfect disguise. As a novice, he became the final winner in tonight's game.
This made him a little complacent, and the next day he wanted to make a new game plan with the heroine——
Taking advantage of the recent killings in the small town, they want to create a school killing themselves.
They also named the murderer "Wolf" to spread rumors, spread rumors and create panic in the campus.
At the same time, they also very intimately announced the death list.
The first person to be killed is the slut, the woods missing, headshot to death, the one at the beginning of the film.
The second is the black-haired, brown-eyed girl who was killed looking in the mirror.
The third person who died was a boy who discriminated against women. His blood was drained to death, and his genitals were mutilated before his death.
The fourth is a black boy who wants to be a big star, and his stomach is pierced by "wolf".
The fifth person who had an accident was a socialite who had his throat cut by a knife.
In the end, the boy who fell in love with the bad girl pierced his heart and died.
They are immersed in their own fabricated lies, but they don't want the consequences of the prank to show up soon--
First, Owen received a threat from a self-proclaimed "Wolf."
He thought it was a prank by his classmates, but no one admitted it.
Later, the dormitory was smashed for no reason, and a knife was hidden in the schoolbag...
Things seemed to get out of hand, and during the verification process, Owen also found that the heroine had an affair with the teacher...
It wasn't until the eve of the Halloween ball that the real horror happened when Owen was hunted down by a masked thug
Did he meet a "real wolf" ?
Fortunately, the police arrived in time, and Owen escaped death.
But when he took off his mask, he found that the gangster turned out to be a girl in the club.
Owen couldn't take it anymore, and he was about to break down and decided to end the game himself.
He summoned his former friends to the broken classroom, and everyone confessed their pranks.
Hidden knives, smashed dormitories, pretended to be a wolf... but no one ever admitted who sent emails to threaten Owen.
The partners were having a heated discussion. Unexpectedly, the real murderer started to kill according to the death list.
A real-life werewolf killing game begins...
Who is the ultimate murderer?
Kuaisoujun will not be too much spoilers, if you are interested, you can find the answer yourself.
It is worth mentioning that this is a movie that repeatedly switches between the game and the real.
The story may seem convoluted on the surface, but it is by no means the kind of brain-burning that leaves viewers scratching their heads.
After reading most of the strange events, you can find the answer directly.
The most terrifying and exciting thing in the film is not the simple and rude killing scenes, but the fact that you know the "wolf" is by your side, but you can't find it.
It's not scary to lie alone, it's scary that a group of people lie.
Even in the end, when they can't even tell the truth from the fake, it's when they are used and tricked.
This can't help but remind people of the previous popular Japanese drama "It's Your Turn". Although the plots of the two are quite different, their cores are quite similar.
A lie is a double-edged sword, sometimes it can protect oneself, and sometimes it can bring the incident into greater trouble.
When lying becomes a habit, over time, when one day you want to tell the truth, who will believe it?
What's more, once a lie is spoken, it needs to be rounded up with countless lies.
Under the vicious circle, one day people's hearts will become indistinguishable between true and false.
In addition to the climax of the reversal plot, this movie also seems to tell the audience:
Never take ignorance for fun, and always challenge humanity with lies.
