i recently realized i loved killer game plots so i decided to try this one. i had high expectations but it was pretty disappointing. the students outside of the main group of 5 barely existed. the reason behind the games was pretty predictable which i wouldnt have minded if the games themselves as well as the character interactions and dynamics were interesting but they werent. the switches in perspective after the groups split up were hard to follow and i was lamenting about stupidity too much to enjoy the movie
- why did the guy friend feel the need to turn 180 degrees just to yell at the girl to run when he couldve taken advantage of the fact he pushed a crazy killer on his ass and restrain him or something?
- the groups constantly splitting up when theyre literally being kidnapped one by one (where is the logic there?)
- answering the questions achieves nothing because the students are killed afterwards anyway even if you get the answer right. the best friend dying anyway was so stupid and i kept getting confused about whether the answers were correct because the kids were dying regardless. its very boring watching a killer game when the hosts are constantly breaking the rules
- not sure if this counts since the teacher was the killer but him killing the crazy kid pissed me off because he literally didnt know if it was him (he didnt seem composed enough to set all this up anyway) and he was already unconscious. they couldve at least tried tying him up and getting some answers or something
- no one wanting to answer the 3rd (?) question and the teachers just letting them stay back as if their classmates arent literally dying and its better to at least have more minds working on the problem
- the parents reasoning made no sense to me. itd make more sense if they wanted to punish the kids for whatever reason
- what the hell was going on with that crazy kid who kept trying to kill the main girl? he saw the teacher murder jiwon but was that supposed to be what made him totally crazy? he acted possessed. theres no way thats supposed to be from witnessing a murder.
- the truth was rooted in reality so im confused about some of the scenes that seemed to be driven by supernatural forces like the hallucinations, ghost looking girl spawning and despawning instantly, people being kidnapped in such a weird manner
- the deaths were super brutal which could be considered good since its horror. i like when brutal deaths elevate the sense of suspense and dread (like in jigsaw) but since the games were boring and the rules were being broken, it fell flat.
- some scenes were strange…like did we really need to see the main girls underwear as she bled through on her period (which had no plot relevance) or her best friends underwear (surely the uniform couldve had build in shorts no?) but whatever
