The young people partying together in the film are so close at first, trusting each other, getting along well, and the atmosphere is warm and harmonious. This is a picture of an ordinary person's happy life. It seems that nothing can destroy the trust and harmony between them. However, after the emergence of a contagious virus, all this changed.
When they realized that their lives were threatened all the time, the trust and harmony between them fell apart in an instant. They can let the sick suffer for their own lives, or abandon others to escape to avoid being infected, and how close and friendly they were, how sincere and reliable they were before. This makes people feel that the so-called friendship and love are so vulnerable. The horror that the infected person feels is not the imminent death, but the rejection, isolation, or even abandonment by their trusted partner, and the fear is permeated with infinite sadness.
If the human indifference caused by this horror is just due to the immaturity and lack of responsibility of a few young people, the problem is not very serious, and we can forgive them. However, the development of the matter did not give us this opportunity. When one of the sick people drove to the town for help, the people in the town showed no sympathy at all, but apathy and numbness.
Even if you are indifferent and numb, regardless of it is the bottom line of morality, this can also be tolerated, but what they do is not to escape, but to avoid the virus from getting on their body, pick up the gun, drive the car, and chase down those The sick people want to get rid of these sick compatriots quickly. At this time, for those who are sick, the deadliest thing is no longer the virus, but the people in the small town. In order to stay alive they have to fight these people life and death. As a result, these patients, who were originally weak, were also forced to become murderous demon kings. So far it is not the indifference of human feelings, but the collapse of human nature.
The residents of the town can no longer be trusted, and even become a source of terror. Those patients can only seek help from the police. Finally, I found a policeman, but the order the police held was a cold and resolute "slaughter order"!
In this way, in the face of a crisis, hope is ignited every time, and every time he is thrown into the abyss of despair.
Although, in the end, the people in the small town dealt with all the suspicious patients. However, because they did not dare to face the reality, evade reality, or just want to deal with the problem in a simple and direct way, they finally got the reward: the medical staff of the hospital decided to throw a patient directly into the woods on the side of the road after consultation. , And the body of the patient who was thrown away happened to fall on the drinking water source of the town. Therefore, everyone in the town will pay for their actions.

Being in terror, the scariest thing is nothing but the terror itself. This kind of horror has no boundary to escape, just like a Japanese horror movie. The whole horror completely envelopes your heart. You have nowhere to escape, nowhere to ask for help, no escape, you can only be alone in this boundless fear. "enjoy"! The Japanese have tapped human psychology to the extreme.
However, this film surpassed the pure blood and cruelty of American horror movies. It interprets the social and philosophical horror in a realistic way. Not only horror, but also sadness and desolation. Here, you are in a desperate situation but you can't see any hope of liberation: there is boundless injustice around you, no one will save you, but all want you to disappear, and disappear forever. It's really called not every day, and the ground is not working-lonely and helpless! ! !
The end of the film is cursing. The cruel and ruthless residents and police in the town will be infected with the deadly virus for their inhumane behavior. It can be imagined that the deadly virus will also disintegrate their society, and the same cruel massacre will occur between them, and it may also lead to a wider range of panic, and even a wider range of massacres, in turn, without end.
But the inspiration from the film may be here. If your compatriot suffers misfortune and terror, and you did not fight alongside him, but you turn a deaf ear to your compatriots, or cut off relations with them, or even abandon them, and are afraid of getting angry and getting rid of them quickly, then, then you You may also suffer the same misfortune and terror, and there is no way to save it.
Therefore, the most terrifying thing is actually the terror itself.
