If A Trip to Busan is a doomsday crisis with an open space, Live Horror is the ultimate tension of “making a Dojo in a snail’s shell”. 90% of the scenes in the whole film are confined to a narrow live room, but with high-density lines and suffocating rhythm, it creates a gripping “live shock”. When the anchor received a threatening phone call from terrorists, from the initial “wanting to make a big news” to the later “seeking for life and salvation”, every emotional turn was truly chilling. The director used close-ups to capture the protagonist’s trembling pupils and sweaty nose tip, making the audience feel as if they had personally experienced this life-and-death gamble. And the “fireworks explosion” scene at the end of the film, with black humor, tore open the hypocrisy mask of society. There is no tension in the whole process, which definitely makes you want to send a blade to the screenwriter after reading it!
