I can't reveal too much, otherwise it will reduce the surprise the movie brings to the audience. I can only say that the story wanders between different types of films. When the audience thought it was just a familiar horror movie and yawned, the sci-fi elements in the play gave everyone a boost; when the audience was about to scold that the plot was not a spoof of a classic, they found that it exuded a cult flavor. Besides, it also contains many philosophical implications. Conspiracy revelations, human satire, and political metaphors (there is a plot in the play about the Japanese pulling together to get through the storm, but the Americans messing things up) fill the corners and enrich the plot.
The big scene near the end is full of fun. If you look carefully, you will find that the classic monsters are all in the same pot. That's right, the writers and directors pay homage to many classic horror films with great skill. Incorporating the tribute into the plot can not be said to be seamless, but it can also justify it, and it also exceeds the expectations and imagination of the audience.
We tend to think of horror movies as mindless products, but this one actually has a deeper side. The story tells the story of three men and two women who go to a remote cabin for a weekend, and then have a thrilling experience. Are these nightmare-like encounters self-inflicted, or random, or is there an invisible force behind everything controlling everything? The plot undoubtedly inspired some thinking space in the religious category.
In addition, the male and female characters have distinct personalities. The most impressive and favorite of them is the marginal youth who can't leave the cannabis. His appearance often adds to the joy. This young man is set as the representative of the fool, but he is the key person who turns the tide in the play. He subverts traditional ideas and is the smartest corner.
The choreographer teases people who like to look at the surface, but they are mocking the inferiority of people who like to see others suffer, but it is satire to the end, which is also the most worthy of the audience's reflection.
