Synopsis:


Los Angeles, an ordinary night. To make a documentary, TV reporter Angela (Jennifer Carpenter) and cameraman (Steve Harris) are assigned to the Los Angeles Fire Department to experience the nighttime life of firefighters. The beautiful and easy-going Angela quickly chatted and laughed with the firefighters and got along. At 23:47, an ordinary 911 call for help ended their leisure: a certain apartment building was suspected of being trapped and needed fire brigade support.

In a small apartment building, a heart-piercing scream could be heard from a room upstairs. When Angela, photographers and firefighters arrived at the scene, the two police officers who dealt with the screaming calls arrived early. The mad woman was biting wildly everywhere, the saliva-infected wounded behaved strangely, a firefighter fell from the upstairs, his face was bloodied... The horror scene scared everyone at a loss! However, it was not until this time that they discovered that the entire building had been isolated and blocked by the Center for Disease Control, and all signals that could communicate with the outside world, such as telephones, mobile phones, and the Internet, had been cut off, and as long as anyone dared to approach the window or try to escape, Always shot by snipers!

Movie review:


I have to say that this is a very ridiculous movie. Although there are handsome guys and beautiful women as the protagonists, the plot content is empty. After 10 minutes from the fire brigade to the horror house, I knew what the whole movie was going to convey. Then I saw a group of people turned into "mad dogs" and bit each other madly in the big house. Those who were bitten immediately became mad dogs, and those who were not bitten started to run for their lives. Basically a mad dog version of the game of "hide and seek".
The scary part is that a "mad dog man" with "green face and fangs" will suddenly rush out without you noticing, and the appearance of the deceased dying is terrifying! There are also regions that translate this movie into "Death Live". In fact, the movie records everything that happened directly through a camera. A living person rushes in front of you bloody and bites you, and then is killed by a hammer. Such a violent plot The fact that the film was rated as NC16 made the author a little worried about those timid middle school students.



From a technical point of view, the film has always maintained the screaming index of the heroine of the thriller, and directly recorded the tense situation in the whole house with a camera. Although the visual sense is still realistic, the deliberately created camera shake makes the audience Feel uncomfortable. What makes the author speechless is, who is still carrying a cumbersome camera when they are madly running for their lives? ? ! ! Is this film in the Acura photojournalist's professionalism?
At the end, some terrorist organizations and cult groups in the mysterious attic spread virus briefings. If you want to sublimate the film spiritually, then it is too contrived!
In a word, the greatest educational significance of "The Killing of the Dead" is:
1. American photographers will not give up their cameras
2. Be careful of your neighbor's granny who can't speak
3. Regularly vaccinate your dog against rabies
4. Never look directly at the way a person's brain is bursting!
