"Cruel You, Amuse Me" turned out to be just a pastime

The original meaning of "Amusement" is "entertainment, recreation".
I think, the person who translated the Chinese name of the film must be a YY master

. "Murder You, Amuse Me" I have to admit that this name is the main purpose of attracting me to watch this film. A thriller with a small investment, and even the entire production team is unknown, was given a name that evokes imagination, and the attention has naturally increased a lot.

Horror movies have always been without beauty and abuse, and everyone is so excited and greedy for these "low-level" tastes outside the dogma! I don’t know whether it’s a demand or a catering, in short, the routine of horror movies is like this, killing people, killing beautiful women, imprisoning them and torturing them, enjoying the most incisive pleasure in their hoarse cries and calls for help! As an audience, the feeling of this process is absolutely exciting and wonderful. This is the fun of horror movies, away from danger and pain, but immersed in the atmosphere. However, there is always a but. A movie that has its own reverie and expectations, but has never encountered the so-called cruelty you and entertainment me while waiting, as if you got the recipe and the waiter told you that there is no such dish when ordering. What's the point of that recipe?

The story develops like this. Lisa, Shelby, and Tabitha are close friends who grew up as childhood sweethearts. When they were young, a boy played with them and used a rat whose belly was torn open to win the goodwill of the little girls, but they were met by reproach and forsaken. When the little boy grew up, he shifted from the cruelty of animals to people, and the sound of begging for mercy made him overjoyed. Thinking of the three beautiful girls who have grown up, he arranged a brutal entertainment game. Three girls who were caught and imprisoned one by one, how can they escape the clutches...

If you regard this "Amusement" as a thriller, then the psychological gap will not be too big, even the worst movie has merit. At least in the glass house scene, it was still a bit of a shock, but in the end, I realized that it was just a pastime. In fact, it could be better, but it ended in a hurry. If it's the horror movie "Cruel You, Amuse Me" as the name suggests, your expectations will plummet. The recipe looks good, but the chef is off work and can't cook anything.

PS: Finally, I have to admire the charm of Chinese

"To torture you, entertain me" turns out that in front of curiosity, everyone is vulgar
