Film Name:魍美/让我死 / Net I Die / Drop dead gorgeous
Thai horror movies used to be all the rage, but there hasn’t been a masterpiece in a long time. Net I Die isn’t exactly impressive, but presenting the hidden worries of the Internet generation in a ghost movie is kind of saying something.
Ghosts and beautiful women, scary and fascinating.
Thai movies are basically more “disciplined” in their filming methods, and in the case of this movie, the plot design is a bit retro from the 90s. Moreover, the ghost movie presents a moral lesson, but at the same time, it also lets the female ghosts torture the victims, and everyone dies in a miserable way, with some gory scenes quite similar to the Hollywood thriller “Final Destination”.
Ghost movie formula, basically can be guessed, for example, if the soundtrack suddenly become gloomy, or the lights suddenly become dark, is when the ghosts want to come out, and the ghosts especially like to appear in the back of the people, this is a very basic ghost movie mode of operation, for the audience who often watch this kind of movie, may not be surprising, but this film is still considered to be handed over to the full homework, especially the sudden sound effects are quite scary, and the whole movie is not only scary, surprisingly also unexpected. In addition to the thrill of the movie, but also unexpectedly pleasing to the eye, including the heroine, as well as that a large number of out to be killed by the minor characters, including even the ghost in the still human, are top-notch beauty, lined up in a very “spectacular”!
A horror revenge story that shows the dark side of internet culture.
Japan’s “star-level female ghosts” Gakko or Sadako are “indiscriminate killers”, as long as you meet them, it can almost be said that they are certain to die, but Thailand’s 《Net I Die》 although there are also murderous ghosts, but basically it is a story of vengeance, so there is no need to be afraid of if you have not offended her, perhaps because of the setup of this movie is not only the intention of the movie is not only to scare people, but through the plot The movie also combines with contemporary topics to show the common internet chaos in modern society, including black-hearted goods on the internet, cyber-bullying, and the prevalence of live broadcasting, where beautiful women can make money by flirting with each other, leading to value disruption, all of which are covered in the movie.
The whole plot is a “chronicle of cyber chaos”.。
Cyberbullying can be scarier than encountering ghosts.
The story depicts an Internet beauty who, after being disfigured by an accident, losing her reputation and suffering from cyber-bullying, commits suicide through live webcasting and turns into a ghost after death to make those who killed her pay! The drama shows the “complicity structure” of cyber-bullying, not only those who directly hurt the person are guilty, but also those who gossip on the internet, those who repost or like the bullying comments, and even those who do not admit their faults after the incident and do not think they have a problem are complicit! We may not even realize that those small, seemingly unintentional actions may have pushed the victim into the abyss, and in today’s world where the culture of sourpusses has gone unchecked, this bloody story is all the more alarming!
