When I saw the gang of little boys being coerced to kill the male protagonist one by one, I thought of the word mass pressure. There should be more professional terms to describe it, anyway, I don't want to check it.
When many people were very young, they would gather together to do some petty and outrageous things. For example, spitting on someone everyone says is annoying, throwing stones, soiling his/her workbook, peeing in the desk if you are out of line - that's what my elementary school classmates did; Although most of us have no grudges against this person. Our concern is that if we don't, we will be the next person to be treated the same. To put it bluntly, we need a sense of team belonging, and we are afraid of crowd pressure. If we are not alone in taking responsibility, we will have strong psychological comfort. At some point, we will think that at least someone will be as unlucky as me. For example, at the beginning of the film, he was threatened to torture and kill the male protagonist's child. After he did it, he threatened others more actively. More often, we will think that the law does not blame the public, and the fact is often so. For example, Brett in the movie did so many bad things, but because so many children in the town were involved, he only got a slap and went upstairs with a slap on the butt.
The scary thing is that the pressure of the masses is not limited to children. , with enough wisdom and strength of adults, it is more terrifying. The heroine who has gone through untold hardships was finally solved by several brave and resourceful adults.
I'm glad I haven't experienced, let alone participated in, this level of mass pressure.
