"Ice cream, ice cream, delicious, sweet and beautiful ice cream..."
"There are all kinds of small animal ice creams, cute rabbits, red pandas, little ducks..."
"And... there are also double ice creams for couples..."
Noon on June 15th.
Amidst the strange-sounding ice cream hawking in a not very authentic English accent, the entire Migos Cinema chain was welcomed by a wave of movie-watching craze. Long queues stretched from East Street to West Street, and everyone was waiting for the release of "Saw" with excitement.
certainly……
There were also some cursing mixed in, with some disdainful expressions.
There are many reasons for the swearing. Some people cursed that the Migos Cinema is too small and cannot compare to the big cinemas such as "Meiwei" and "Goffin". Some people cursed that the advertisement of "Saw" is too shameless, so shameless that they even asked for leave to come and see what kind of shit movie it is. Of course, some people cursed that today's ice cream is too expensive. Ice cream that usually costs only one dollar has now risen to two dollars...
As for those with disdainful expressions, most of them came with their girlfriends, and said things like "I've seen a lot of horror movies, but they're all boring" and "What are you afraid of? They're all fake, there aren't any ghosts at all."
Alan was among them.
When Alan saw so many people queuing in such a long line, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
Then he took another look at the promotional poster in front of him.
I saw a few words written in English on the poster of Saw...
Well, some words that look very pretentious!
"Are you ready? The horror universe welcomes you!"
After seeing these words, for some reason, Alan felt an inexplicable sense of participation.
I have to admit that the Chinese are really good at marketing!
Even if this "Saw" is really bad, as long as he can rely on this wave of publicity, then making a profit will definitely not be a problem.
"Yes, it's Mr. Allen. Good afternoon, Mr. Allen!"
"Hello, Mr. Bliss..."
Just as Alan was about to walk into the cinema, he saw a middle-aged man in a hat in front of him suddenly turned around.
After seeing that person, Alan's eyes suddenly felt uncomfortable.
This person is Bliss.
His rival in Columbia.
Although his current position is higher than Bliss, Bliss has never taken him seriously, and Bliss always has his eyes on his position.
"Mr. Allen, are you here to watch a movie too?"
"I am……"
"Oh, me too, Mr. Allen, enjoy your movie!"
"The same to you!"
Bliss said a few words to Allen with a forced smile and continued walking forward.
And Allen looked at Bliss's back gloomily.
I feel very uncomfortable.
This person...
It must be intentional!
…
More than a few minutes later, Allen walked into the cinema.
But when Alan looked at the crowded cinema, his mood instantly became extremely bad!
He even wanted to curse!
Why?
Because his ticket was for standing room only, he could only stand on the sides with other people to watch the movie like a fool.
He took a deep breath and called his assistant.
"What happened to my ticket?"
"Mr. Allen, there are no more seated tickets... They were sold out since the pre-sale started yesterday, so you can only buy standing tickets..." The assistant's embarrassed voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
“…”
Alan hung up the phone.
He was in a terrible mood.
He wanted to turn around and leave, but as he watched the cinema gradually darken, he finally suppressed the urge to leave.
He at least wants to see what kind of movie "Saw" is!
If it is truly a bad movie, or if it shows signs of becoming a bad movie, then it’s okay to leave early.
…
"Hello everyone, before watching the movie, let me tell you some things to note when watching the movie, because there are inevitably some bloody scenes in this movie, so..."
Ten minutes before the movie started, a host walked up to the stage with a smile on his face and said some things to note when watching the movie.
She solemnly introduced the bags that the staff gave to each audience member.
When people opened the bag, they found that it contained a vomit bag and some first aid necessities.
This moment...
Everyone felt a little weird.
Of course, there were also some insults mixed in.
The host didn't care about all this. After he finished speaking, he walked down the stage. Then, the lights gradually dimmed.
A strange music sounded, and after this music, the originally noisy cinema street suddenly became quiet.
Then……
There has been a series of shocking...
advertise……
Yes!
It's just advertising.
"Remote" entertainment, "Novi Media", "Remote Games", "Remote Catering"...
The weird sound was creepy, but...
After seeing these advertising units, everyone was stunned!
The creepy sound disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, their mood was indescribable.
I want to curse!
I want to say FUCK!
but……
Just when they were about to start cursing, a few bloody words suddenly appeared.
"Saw"!
The name of the movie appeared without any warning...
Then, there was a depressing darkness, and in the darkness, they seemed to feel a very strange sense of struggle.
Someone is struggling!
Yes, it’s a struggle!
Someone is struggling in the water!
When all the audience reacted, they saw a young man struggling out of the bathtub in the semi-darkness...
Then, the lights came on one by one...
Then...
A secret room, shackles, a bloody corpse, and a tape that symbolizes clues...
In the cinema, the noisy sounds suddenly disappeared, replaced by a depressing silence.
Yes!
This movie has created a depressing and tense feeling for everyone from the very beginning. In this tense atmosphere, an idea appeared in everyone's mind.
So how are they supposed to escape?
Is it a clue or what?
Afterwards, the two protagonists in the movie began to look at various clues and found the saw in the water tank!
When everyone thought that the saw could help the two men escape, the plot of the movie changed.
Yes!
Saws are not used to saw off shackles!
But...
To saw off their feet!
This moment...
"What!"
"My God, this saw can do something..."
"this……"
"Ah, why so cruel!"
'this……'
“…”
In the cinema, several young women suddenly screamed.
The fear that was suddenly rendered in their movie was actually due to his repression. At the same time, in addition to the repression, there was also an indescribable sense of reality.
Yes!
They thought of a piece of news from the past.
That news was about the one who escaped after having his leg sawed off...
This moment...
Most people felt an indescribable shock deep in their hearts.
certainly……
Then one of the doctor characters began to fall into memories...
This memory, however, is a bloody one.
…
Alan was originally in a unhappy and complaining mood.
but……
As the plot progressed, this complaint gradually turned into a feeling of depression. He suddenly realized that this plot was not a simple escape room plot...
He had to admit that he felt a sense of nausea the moment Jigsaw appeared on the screen.
Then, the plot began to become more suspenseful and depressing, with the corpse of a fat man who had committed suicide many times, a corpse that had been burned to charcoal, and a living person wearing a death mask who was trying to find the key from the corpse...
These scenes give people a feeling of being extremely bloody and at the same time extremely depressing.
At this moment...
"vomit!"
"vomit……"
"Oh my God, this... Ugh..."
There were bursts of retching sounds in the cinema.
Alan noticed that several people's faces began to become uncomfortable with the bloody feeling. They were about to leave, but when they were about to leave, they stopped again.
seem……
They were hesitant.
After hesitating for a long time, they finally chose to continue watching the movie.
Obviously, the movie seems a bit dragged out, but there seems to be a charm in the dragged-out plot that pulls them together, making it impossible for them to leave.
In the end, they chose to continue watching.
Of course, the plot did not continue to be bloody when I watched it again, but gradually became suspenseful.
A lot of clues gradually pointed to another person...
That is...
A male nurse in the hospital.
Then……
The plot began to gradually become tense again.
The usually calm doctor protagonist actually started to panic after hearing the cry for help...
He began to try everything. At the same time, the sound of the cell phone was like a death sentence, accelerating his panic and despair.
The phone that I could reach in two steps on a normal day was right before my eyes, but at this moment, it seemed as if it was a world away...
…
"Fuck!"
“Oh my God!”
"He really did it!"
"Oh God, please don't do this, oh God, there is still hope, please, please don't do this!"
“Oh my God!”
“Help…”
"vomit……"
Waves of vomiting and screaming were heard in the cinema.
Alan didn't vomit, but he felt very bad.
He stared at the doctor on the screen sawing his leg, and suddenly he put himself in the scene, imagining his own situation.
Then……
He felt an indescribable sense of despair.
Depression, despair, blood...
The indescribable feelings touched Allen's senses, and made Allen forget his previous situation...
This movie actually...
it turns out……
…
“This is a film about human nature…”
Also watching this movie was Andorra.
When Andorra saw this disgusting yet tense scene, his expression was more or less uncomfortable.
But then, he couldn't help but wonder why the screenwriter could write such a breathtaking script.
The movie gradually came to an end.
"Bang!"
After a burst of gunfire, the originally calm doctor, like a man drowning in water, found a life-saving straw and hysterically grasped at the last hope, losing his mind.
Then fall down.
Seeing this scene...
Andorra thinks this is human nature.
Is this where the movie ends?
If that's the case, then while the film isn't bad, it always feels like something is missing.
but……
At this moment...
After seeing the following plot, Andor felt suffocated.
The person who was shot suddenly jumped up and smashed the suspect to death...
The doctor left...
When everything was about to end, suddenly...
The man who had been shot and was already dead suddenly stood up.
This moment...
Andorra's eyes suddenly widened!
"impossible!"
“Oh my God!”
"Oh my God, is this still possible?"
"Oh my god, I'm so scared, what the hell is going on..."
"What's going on..."
Suddenly, there were bursts of screams and exclamations in the cinema...
as well as……
"Oh my god, is anyone there? The person next to me has fainted!"
"Someone come..."
"Oh my God, wake up, wake up..."
"this……"
When the darkness in the movie gradually descends...
Andal suddenly felt a sense of despair and panic spreading.
Then...
He saw several people being carried out of the cinema by staff.
