The details of life and the signs of mindlessness are the most terrifying

Within a week, I watched all episodes 1-3 of the "Death is Coming" series (if it wasn't for 4-5 episodes, I would have continued to watch them), and in an instant I went back to the first time I watched Death is Coming. When I was a kid, I was sitting on the sofa with my dad, and the first clip I watched was the highway crash in the second movie. Every movie must be watched, but to be honest, I think the first two are the most exquisite. They are closely related to each other, and the way of death is also very delicately designed. As for the third part, it is the heroine Elizabeth's face that holds up half the sky. The other half is that all the survivors died at one time at the end of the third part, and finally established the routine that every survivor of the Grim Reaper series must die. Unlike the first two, there are survivors, and even the first male protagonist was shot to death by a brick. Powerless to justify.

Tencent iQiyi has links to the first and second parts, but the third part has disappeared since the beginning, so after I found the source of the film on the Internet, I found out that many scenes are really not suitable for children, and the motorcycle girl was also cut in the second part. The clip of XX is leaking from the clothes, hahaha, if I didn't know it when I was watching DVD when I was a child, I really wouldn't have found out that it was cut here.

The essence of the whole series is that "The King of Hell will let you die in the third watch, and will keep you until the fifth watch at most." The most wonderful thing is that the villain is not the tragic death of the survivors, but all kinds of small signs and strange camera language. Often it is the rotating fan, the gentle wind... The details and mindless predictions of this kind of life are the most frightening, because it makes us start to imagine that the movie is scary, and we are scaring ourselves.
After reading it, I really thought about it, what is the closest thing to death? Once I turned on the gas to boil water in the kitchen at noon, but I played on the computer in the room until 7 pm, and then I remembered that there was such a thing as boiling water. When I went to the kitchen, I found that the gas was still boiling, and the water in the kettle was empty long ago. Now, even the plastic handle on the lid of the kettle has melted. If the gas doesn't burn halfway, the gas bottle is always empty. When I enter the kitchen, I have a habit of turning on the light in the first second when I open the door, and The switch is still a very old-fashioned pull-ring switch, if... If gas had accumulated in the kitchen at that time, I pulled the switch again and was in a cold sweat. In fact, the so-called deaths and mistakes are all cheese models that are pieced together by countless coincidences, and everyone has been pushed to this day step by step.

The third part also has a very "philosophical" question, which is if you could see how and when you died, would you want to know?
I always thought it was a novelty to be able to predict the future, but what if I could only predict bad things? Especially those bad things that you can predict but can't change, it's a torture.

"Death is Coming" and "Chainsaw" are both horror series that I like very much. By the way, I heard that Chainsaw will be released in North America on the 27th, so I'm looking forward to it.

    Now it seems that if you want to know what Y2K fashion is, you can watch this film, it can't be more typical XD. The plot design is indeed quite different from the simplicity and directness of the traditional teenage slasher. The scary thing is that the audience and the protagonist will find out that every detail in life goes wrong and can kill people, and whether this worry is a real prophecy or a delusion, If it's just delusional, do you want to be defensive? It will lead to choice anxiety. The combination constitutes tension.

    Well... it reminds me of a sentence: Hades wants you to die three times, you can't live five times... This film is considered good in a horror film, at least it finds the feeling of horror that has been lost for a long time. Although not much, it is already excellent. Sure enough, I still like this kind of horror movies that rely on suspense instead of blood to scare people.
