This is a murder group, or a family. The masked man is the mentor of this team, and is also an experienced murderer, responsible for planning and decision-making; the red masked woman also has some experience, and the long-haired masked woman has basically no experience. If you think about it from the perspective of the family, then men and women are husband and wife, and the girl with long hair and mask is a child (because the mask she wears has big cartoon eyes and has children's colors, so I think of this layer). It was their hunting night, and it was their training night. So killing is not the most important thing, the important thing is to let the students observe the emotions and reactions of the prey, learn how to psychologically intimidate the prey, learn to cut off the communication of the prey and the possibility of escape, learn to calmly face unexpected situations, etc. (such as the male protagonist) friends came early), and finally experience the feeling of killing and get used to it. All this is preparation for continuing to kill.
Why would I come up with these? It should be said that there are still clues in the film.
First of all, the heroine kept asking: why are you doing this to us?
The masks didn't answer until they were about to kill them, and only said one sentence: cause you are home.
This answer can turn everyone's popularity, it's just nothing I didn't say it~ But in fact, this sentence reveals that the masks have no grievances with the hostess and the hostess, and they were tortured and killed just because they were at home.
Secondly, if you recall the entire killing process, you will find that the masks do not take money, they are not greedy for looks (Liv is still beautiful~), and there are many opportunities to kill people without killing people. What have they been doing? Make them panic by creating various incidents, then follow them or observe them, and control them not to call for help or to flee (the phone is taken away, the car is also destroyed, etc.). It was not until dawn that the two female masks stabbed the host and hostess with knives.
Third, when the male protagonist's friend came to their house ahead of time, the masked man came forward to handle the accident (although he didn't have to do anything, this unlucky guy was accidentally killed by his friend, 囧); when he finally killed, The male mask didn't do anything either, watching from behind. So I feel that the male mask should be the master. At the same time, only the long-haired female mask spoke to the victim, indicating that she has not yet personified the victim and should have little experience in killing. In the end, when they drove away, they said: "I got used to it in the future (similar to this), which means that I am not used to it now, and I don't have enough experience.
The picture of the movie, the light and shadow are not bad, but I didn't watch it very carefully, there may be a lot of mistakes in the above~
