Following "Death Video" in 2007, Jaume Banagheru and Parker Plaza presented "Death Video 2" in 2009. In this sequel, fake records are still used as the biggest gimmick. However, in order to make this film not have the same feeling as the previous work, the director still used some brains. First, I played a little trick of segmented narrative. The first part was provided by the special police force, the middle part was provided by the three little kids, and in the latter part, the special police were connected, which eliminated the monotonous feeling to some extent; second, the story On the basis of the previous one, there has been progress, from a virus to a demon possessed by a religious color, and completely embarked on the path of a supernatural film; thirdly, using a trick to change the scene under visible light, let the The audience can use their imagination and make up their own minds. At the end of the film, the beautiful reporter in the previous film became the object of the devil's possession, and the building continued to be a terrifying place that could only be entered and not entered.
In the past two years, after a roller coaster-like prosperity, pseudo-documentaries have gradually declined. In fact, the appearance and lack of content are doomed to the short-lived fate of this type of film. Just like this "Death Video 2", even if the director spent a little effort to make it look different from the previous work, there was no breakthrough or bright spot in the end. As a genre film facing a "dead end", the survival of horror films remains to be studied and explored by filmmakers.
