The Decline (2020) - Decline is a French- produced film , just released on Netflix last week and quickly entered the top 9 most watched movies in Vietnam this week. Because the film duration is only about 80 minutes, how do WebTech360 also experience horror movies from the capital of light? Read the review below to see if you should watch the movie.

Story: Antoine enrolls in a survival class with 5 other people taught by old man Alain in a secluded wilderness. Here, they learn survival skills, including using guns and crafting mines. A conflict erupted when one of the practitioners accidentally died in an accident, causing the group to split into two factions to protect their own lives.

Actually, the movie content is relatively simple and there are not many plot twists (except for the plot twist related to the main character) but The Decline (2020) is still quite attractive to viewers because the audience is looking forward to watching the progress of Where will the story go in the end. The story of a group of people trapped in a distant land is too familiar to many people, but the storytelling and theme of the film still have appeal to curious audiences.

The horror and gore elements in the movie are not too scary, only at a moderate level so you should rest assured to watch them. The surprise of the movie is a bit low, it is difficult to startle the audience even though there is a sniper phase that makes me a little surprised. The end of The Decline (2020) is relatively good, a bit open but enough to solve all the problems raised by the film.

Everything of The Decline (2020) comes from the conflict between fear of responsibility and responsibility, thereby pushing things away and many undesirable things happen. At first, we see characters in the film express their fear of the effects of climate change, but as the end viewers realize that it is the decline in morality that is the most frightening threat. for human survival.

However, The Decline (2020) still has a lot of weaknesses that are hard to ignore. From the beginning of the film, everything went on smoothly until half of the time when conflicts began to erupt and since then many quick deaths arose. Because of this, the final scene of the film lacks the climax needed to make viewers able to score high in the film's content.

In addition, the somewhat ridiculous attitude and behavior of the characters on the Decayed Day made the audience wonder. Besides, there are still many ridiculous and fictitious details that make the movie just stop at an average action horror movie. So, WebTech360 marks this part 6.5 out of 10 .

Images - Sound: The shooting angles of The Decline (2020) are quite normal, there are not many beautiful scenes, especially the effects of the film are relatively few. The fight and kill scenes in the movie are not as pleasing as the Hollywood movies,but in exchange they create a relatively genuine feature. Character creation was pretty decent and having a shot of killing rabbits was a bit creepy. Likewise, the soundtrack of the movie is nothing too outstanding, creating no feelings of fear and emotion for viewers, although the ending song sounds pretty good. WebTech360 marks this part 7/10 .

Acting : The French actors in this movie are quite strange, so the roles they take on are only full. Because their characters are built without too much ground, the character is not really clear, thereby making viewers not too impressed about the roles, whether it is the main or the villain. WebTech360 is only impressed with how the actors go when they walk in the snow or get frozen, they look just like the real thing. I grade the acting 6.5 / 10 .

Assessment scale:

IMDB: 6.3 / 10 (1004 ratings)

Google: 83/100

In summary ,  The decline (2020) - On the decline is a film genre of survival horror, class of French cinema . The film is not too surprising or shocking to the audience but is relatively attractive and can be viewed to pass the time during thecurrent social isolation season. It has been a long time since I saw French cinema , I have seen many surprises.
