Chapter 80: Don't Look Yet
Liser stared blankly at the screen in front of him, his mouth growing, like a koi waiting to be fed.
If the rhythm of "Blood Room" is to slowly draw it, gradually accumulate energy, and finally explode.
"Death is Coming" is like a quiet and peaceful afternoon, you are yawning and about to squint for a while, but you hear a shout in the air.
"Here comes the little boy."
Rumble!
Explode directly!
Li Ther never imagined that the plot of this film would directly shatter his perception of horror films soon after the beginning.
When has a horror movie ever had such a big scene as an airplane explosion?
Shouldn't this be the only image of an action blockbuster?
And it stands to reason that horror films pay great attention to that kind of eerie and dark atmosphere, and this kind of super scene will not only disrupt the atmosphere, but also appear very abrupt and discordant.
But "Death is Coming" didn't make him feel any discomfort.
Not only did it not destroy the terrifying atmosphere, but it directly filled that weird atmosphere!
Li Se thought about it for a while, this director named Zheng Yi is a master!
In just this paragraph, a set of small combos of "pull up, press down, and pull up again" was played.
The protagonist experiences an airplane explosion - discovers that it is a hallucination - and is thrown off the plane after making a fuss, only to find that the hallucination has come true!
This sense of rhythm is obviously not in line with the routine of traditional horror films, but it is extremely exciting.
"It's more like ...... The rhythm of Hollywood blockbusters. After thinking about it, Liser got the answer.
And after this explosion, his sense of anticipation for the follow-up plot directly reached its peak.
I can't even fast-forward for a second!
The only thing he regrets now is why he didn't go to the toilet after watching "Blood Room" just now.
Why do you drink so much water at dinner?
I can only hold it!
At this time, Li Se thought that he had just laughed at Zheng Yi for being too young and unable to grasp the rhythm of the movie.
Thinking about it now, my face is red, but fortunately I didn't say it out loud at the time.
This is because people are too young, but they are too young!
However, he still has one thing that he doesn't know, that is, after such an exciting scene, how does "Death is Coming" plan to play the word "horror" with new tricks?
Where is the Grim Reaper in the title?
And the movie gave him the answer right away.
Todd, one of the survivors, washes at home, but is strangled to death because of a series of "accidents"!
From the laundry detergent that "accidentally" spilled let it slip on.
And then to "accidentally" getting wrapped around the neck with a clothesline.
In the end, he "accidentally" spilled the shampoo, so that he could not stand up to save himself after being strangled.
And the father, who was just outside the door, "happened" to fall asleep at this time.
One after another, layer upon layer.
These things are like the trap of death, slowly pulling a living person to the other side of life.
There is no knife chopping axe.
There is no "heart and lungs".
No claw spikes.
Death never uses a murder weapon, he kills invisibly!
Lisser's eyes widened.
"Horror films...... Can you still play like this? ”
He never expected that there was no need for demons to appear, but it could still make people shudder.
All he knew was that "Death Is Coming" was playing something very new.
Something he'd never seen before.
Something like never before!
And the next plot made Li Se understand that the rhythm of "Blood Room" is pediatrics at all!
Everyone knows that Todd's death is not a suicide, and the male and female protagonists meet to go to the morgue to investigate.
Here, they meet the ultimate NPC of the entire Grim Reaper series, Old Black.
"Death, no accidents!"
"No coincidences, no luck, nowhere to run."
"We're all just rats with cats grabbed by their tails."
"All the actions in our lives ......"
"To run a red light or not to run a red light."
"Get on the plane, or get off the plane."
"To socialize with people, or not to socialize with people."
"These are all the plans of the Grim Reaper, guiding us step by step to the grave."
Although Lao Hei is a riddler, his words actually summarize the core of the whole story.
That's "everything is already predestined"!
This is the horror core of "Here Comes the Grim Reaper", fatalism.
And with the tragic deaths of the survivors one after another, the male protagonist finally discovered the pattern.
The order of death is related to the plane seat!
The Grim Reaper is like a set procedure, methodically carrying out its own killing.
When Liser saw this, he remembered an old saying.
"I can hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth!"
Even though the protagonists in the film try their best, these survivors are still dying in order.
A female classmate was hit by a bus and died.
The female teacher was stabbed to death by a falling knife in the kitchen.
And when he learned that he was next, a male classmate drove madly to the railroad tracks, wanting to "challenge" the Grim Reaper!
At the last moment, he was rescued by his classmates, and the train smashed his sports car to pieces.
But he survived.
That's right, survived!
Li Seer, who was so nervous that he clenched his fists, was stunned at this time.
"Survived?"
"But didn't that old black say that death is never an accident."
"In this way, isn't the plot setting contradictory?"
Albert Einstein famously said, "God doesn't roll dice".
This big guy believes that all the laws in the world have a fixed number, and there is no randomness.
Of course, the emergence and maturity of quantum mechanics has had a certain impact on the views of the big guys.
But the Grim Reaper in the movie can just borrow the words of the big guy.
The Grim Reaper doesn't roll dice.
But the Grim Reaper isn't inflexible!
The silent grim reaper, like a waitress calling at the door of the restaurant, called three times softly, but did not see the customer with the number coming.
Seeing this, she smiled slightly, and then muttered elegantly.
"Next."
Rub!!!
Just as everyone was glad that they had broken the law of death, a piece of car fragment was crushed by the wheels of a speeding train and rushed straight to the students on the side!
By the time everyone reacted, the man had already been separated and died tragically on the spot.
And this one is second only to the boy who escaped by luck!
The Grim Reaper has jumped!
Despair, endless despair.
Lisser's character was gray at this time.
The silent but shadowy Grim Reaper is far more terrifying than any tangible ghost!
It can't be cracked, it can't be dispelled, there's no way out.
In general horror films, even if it is "Blood Room" that has just been watched, a cracking method will be arranged at the end to achieve a happy ending that allows the protagonist to escape.
No matter what kind of demons and monsters, there is a way to defeat them, but if you can't do it, you can still run.
But "Here Comes the Grim Reaper" is different.
If you can't win, you can't run...... Li Se's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of Zheng Yi's debut homework short film.
That's right, it's that "Spoon Murderer"!
Thinking about it this way, the horror of "Spoon Murderer" is actually the same as "The Grim Reaper".
It's all that kind of despair from which there is nowhere to escape.
"This Zheng Yi is really a genius, not only expanding the core of the short film, but also enriching the content to this point."
"Alas, why isn't it our Red Sea Video that cooperates with Moyi."
"In that case, this Zheng Yi will most likely become our supernova!"
"It's good now, not only can't I get it, but I've also become a tough and promising opponent!"
Liser secretly lamented that he had bad luck, and the Red Sea Video did not have the blessing of a black cat.
Hey.
Just as he was watching and sighing, the male protagonist in the movie and the female protagonist actually cracked the killing move of the Grim Reaper together.
Both survived.
And because the cycle was broken, another boy also got away with it!
This...... Liser frowned.
Something is wrong, this film has a great atmosphere, and the feeling of having nowhere to escape is terrifying.
But now there is an ending where people will win the day, and this rhythm will immediately fall.
The atmosphere that had been rendered for more than an hour suddenly dissipated without a trace.
The story instantly became clichéd.
"Anticlimactic?"
Liser felt a little uncomfortable, but at the same time felt a sense of relief.
Zheng Yi is too young, and it is normal to make mistakes.
If this film is perfect, he will be under a lot of pressure.
Doesn't that make it seem like the other old guys are useless?
Besides, as an enemy, of course he hoped that Zheng Yi would not be so strong, even if it was only a little weaker, more like a newcomer.
But the truth is always so cruel, and the slap in the face always comes so timely.
Before he could fully relax, the film turned around again.
A few months later, the surviving trio meet up to complete the trip interrupted by death.
But just when the three of them were grateful for the arrival of this new life, the male protagonist once again had a vision of death!
And the picture also ends in front of a billboard that quickly smashed into the male number three.
Death, no accidents!
The end of the play!
Liser is at this time the same as when he sees the plane explode at the beginning of the film.
Amazed!
The game of the Grim Reaper is not a round-robin, it's a round-robin!
If you can escape for a while, you can't escape for a lifetime.
Even if you get lucky enough to survive in the first round.
Then there is a second round, a third round, a fourth round......
Loop infinitely until you're tied!
Anticlimactic?
No.
That's the head of the dragon and the tail of the phoenix!
The subtitles had begun to play on the screen, but Liser still sat still.
"Manager Li, Manager Li?"
The director and screenwriter on the side shouted a few times.
"We're done watching it, now let's go next door and watch 'The Blood Room'." These bits have already watched "The Grim Reaper" twice in a row, and they are satisfied.
"No, you don't have to." Liser shook his head.
The rest of the directors and screenwriters who watched "Blood Room" also shook their heads with him.
There's no need to look at it anymore.
Because after watching "The Grim Reaper", they unanimously agreed that this is the ceiling of today's Chinese horror films!
