It can actually be better

It was originally a good subject. The script was written by Samaram. It seems that the keyword "secret room" has been achieved to the extreme. It took place in an elevator room of one or two square meters. This is a very bold attempt, such as the test questions in the composition. Gives you very small limitations, but you have to use your imagination to make up the word count of the article. Most of the shots in this film are in elevators and security rooms, but the 80 minutes of the film are very compact. With such a small limitation, I have made good use of these 80 minutes. I don’t feel that the movie is wasting shots at all. What I think is inadequate is the room escape movies that involve religion and spirituality. Some unthinkable events are all summed up with the term "spiritual", which will make some suspenseful plots in the movie pale and weak, lacking a good logic.
Many people say that the movie was pretending to be mysterious at the beginning, and in the end it directly relied on the devil in the previous plot that was too exaggerated. In fact, it is not. The movie is a bit religious from the beginning and sometimes mentions the devil many times. The hint that will come, but I think the movie can actually despise these supernatural events and use normal thinking logic to make this movie. It is indeed a fatal injury to involve this subject, but the movie overall still gives me a lot of heart. After all, the suspense is in place. After setting the environment in such a small space, everyone in it has their own sins that they have committed, and we can’t rely on any appearance or the characters’ In the past, it was possible to determine who the murderer was. Everyone is possible. Those who are often the least like the murderer are the murderers. The unexpected finale, waves of suspense push the plot to a climax, and another point. Like a fatal ID. The line outside the elevator room was also well set. When the police arrived, the difference between the security guards suddenly appeared. He tried his best to control the situation in the elevator and investigate their information outside, etc., making the plot more vivid.
The movie is actually a movie with a bit of special emotions in it. Unlike ordinary suspense secret rooms, it’s hard to see the emotional component in it. However, this movie adds a lot of gimmicks to it with the emotional part. From the beginning, the devil set the group of criminals who were not at large to take the same elevator, and the police who monitored the elevator were the police who lost his wife many years ago, and even asked the girlfriend who came to interview the elevator mechanic to personally see if his love was lost. What kind of feeling? When the devil was about to kill the elevator mechanic, the elevator light was on but the mechanic did not ask for forgiveness. He deeply repented for his sins, and he left behind on the spot of the car accident He wrote a note of "I'm sorry". The police said that he came to know that this person left this note as a sincere confession from the heart. Most of the people killed by the devil in the elevator car bear human lives. But these people had no intention of repentance at all, and continued to do those things. Only this elevator mechanic bowed his head in front of the devil and did not beg for mercy, and he always took the two lives away from him in his heart. So at the end, the elevator mechanic learned that the policeman who sent him back was the family of the two wives and daughters he killed. His eyes were ashamed, but the police said: I forgive you a long time ago, if there are demons in the world , Then God must also exist, drawing a perfect ending to this film.
As a suspense secret room movie, this film has a relatively deep emotional part, but there are also unacceptable spiritual and religious parts. It is even now, and it is still a relatively regular suspense secret room movie.

    Ramirez: [voiceover] After my mother would finish her story, she would always comfort us. "Don't worry," she'd say. "If the Devil is real, then God must be real, too."

  • [first lines]

    Ramirez: [voiceover] When I was a child, my mother would tell me a story about how the Devil roams the Earth. Sometimes, she said, he would take human form so he could punish the damned on Earth before claiming their souls. The ones he chose would be gathered together and tortured as he hid amongst them, pretending to be one of them. I always believed my mother was telling me an old wives' tale.
