Hey, guys
Today I'll show you a horror film: "Cadaver"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins by showing a painting of what appears to be the bloody head of a beheaded sheep
It is placed on a posh plate, including a knife and fork in the sides
Inside a massive house, kids are shown running around the corridor and the stairs,
scavenging abandoned clothes trashed on the floor
The scene is a landscape of a ruined city
The fogs are forming all over the worn-out buildings that make them hard to see
The people are seen to be in extreme danger,
and are only taking advantage of what was left in the ruined city
A child goes to one of the buildings alone; her parents are looking for her;
and they find her staring through an opened door
They realize that someone in that room has hung herself and taken her own life
It is revealed that a nuclear disaster is what hit this city
Thousands of newspapers are trashed on the streets, and the headlines say "nuclear disaster
" We can see that the people debate whether this "incident" is a nuclear "accident" or intentional
At the start of the movie,
this is the question that engages the viewers to think about what is in the story
One day, Leonora wakes up from one of the buildings
She goes to a room to check if her daughter, Alice, is safe
Leonora notices that the bed seems empty, as she wonders where her daughter has gone
To make sure of it, she pulls the blanket and sees nothing
Leonora is starting to become paranoid, and starts screaming the name "Alice" repeatedly
This lady wakes up again, implying that all of what happened was only her dream
We can now see that this movie has a dystopian setup of a society
The main characters and the environment are manifesting remnants of trauma and tragedy
Leonora continues to check if Alice is in the room
Unlike in the dream, Alice is present, and she says that she has heard things again
Her mother starts to comfort her to sleep
However, Alice starts being frightened again,
when they hear a loud, thumping noise just outside their sanctuary
Leonora holds Alice tight to make sure that she is okay
One morning, a person is screaming throughout the city,
and strangely inviting for a theater play that is coming in the city soon
All of the viewers will have a free meal if they decide to go
Being curious about it,
Leonora asks the person how on earth that a theater play would happen in the middle of a ruined city
The person says that it is because Mathias is kind,
and wants people to have fun despite the frightening times
Leonora’s husband is Jacob
They are both suspicious about the theater play
Jacob says that it cannot happen because it does not add up
On the other hand, Leonora thinks that this might be a good thing
This is the strangest part of the movie
Why is there A theater play in the middle of a ruined, poverty-stricken city?
Suddenly, balloons, food, and entertainment are happening in a dystopian world
How strange and peculiar is that?
Later on, the couple agreed that they should go to the show despite the fishiness of it
That same night, they go to the mansion where it is located
At first, one of the staff does not allow Alice inside, because she is a child
But Mathias, the show master, says that Alice could be an exemption
They are overwhelmed by the massiveness of the house
They realize that it is nowhere the size of their sanctuary
As they are having dinner together, Mathias goes to the platform and delivers a speech
He welcomes all the people inside the building by saying, "Welcome to the theater "
He says that the play will not happen on the stage, with no auditorium and elevated seats
Mathias says that the whole stage is the hotel they are inside
Mathias gives them masks of the color gold, and says that it is for the audience
All the audiences put their masks on, and get to choose which character they are going to follow
Leonora asks Alice who she wants to follow; Alice says she wants to follow Rakel
The three of them now start strolling inside the hotel, mesmerized by the acting of the characters
After going through the corridors, they find Rakel inside Mathias' room
They have some arguments
Like what Mathias has said, we can see that this theater play is not your usual show
Instead of sitting in a chair, the audience must move to see what is happening on the whole show
This is what makes the plot of the film "Cadaver" unique
Inside the room, it seems like Rakel wants to be reunited with Mathias
However, Mathias makes it clear that their relationship is already over
Jacob says that Alice should follow Rakel throughout the whole play
However, Alice is starting to be consumed by the wave
She is now strolling by herself
One instance, while Jacob and Leonora are having a conversation, Alice starts to go missing
The parents are now distressed, and start looking for their daughter
Inside one room, they hear their daughter's scream
Jacob thinks that it is not funny anymore; that is why he breaks one of the doors to look for Alice
While finding Alice, they realize that Kathrine,
the one they had dinner together with, has missing family members too;
which is why they teamed up together to look for them
They suspect that their missing family members might be in Rakel's room on the fourth floor, room five
While inside, they go separate ways to find them
However, not long after, Kathrine disappears too; and only one earring is left of her
Here are the questions
Are the missing people all part of the show? Or just like what Jacob is suspecting,
is there something off with this theater play? We are to find out why
To look for help, they ask some of the audience if they see their daughter Alice
Although, because they got rid of their masks,
the people think that they are actors and actresses, that is why they are not helping them
Similarly, while the married couple is talking in the corridor,
one actress thinks that they are the audience because they are unmasked
Still looking for Alice, they see the stuffed toy of hers lying on the ground
And in that same room, they see Lars, the husband of Kathrine, asking for help
They notice that the room is full of clothes
There are so many piling up that they are forming mountains of different garments
Leonora looks through the clothes; and she finds her daughter's red dress, just lying on the ground
Jacob inspects Alice's stuffed toy that is stained with blood
He tastes the blood, and Jacob says that it is sweet and only fake blood
They think that maybe that all of these are only part of the show
Still, they look for their daughter
They find that the people with surgical masks are suspicious,
because they are the ones dumping and burning the clothes
They go down to the hotel to look for more
Not long after, an actor wearing white clothes comes after Jacob, and puts a knife on his throat
Jacob fights him and tells Leonor to run
Leonor escapes the scene as the actor is chasing her
She goes to hide inside a closet, the actor is about to find her;
but a woman says that all the actors are needed in the ballroom
Whether this show is real or not, it is surely getting into the audiences' nerves
Leonor does not think of this as a harmless show anymore
This feature in a movie is good;
it is like putting the film watchers in the characters' shoes, both as audiences
Leonor goes to the meeting of the actors and actresses
She finds out that Kathrine is also one of the actresses and not the audience
Leonor has been seeing and hearing her daughter Alice in her imagination
Her mind is starting to collapse, as she cannot get Alice out of her mind
All she wants is to find her daughter;
but the only dimension she finds Alice in is solely in her mind
The second batch of the show's viewers is starting to come inside the hotel
Leonor finds herself looking at the same painting of a beheaded sheep
inside different rooms all over again
Being curious about it, she goes near it to inspect it
Leonor is touching it to make sure that there is not something behind it
In the lower part of the painting, she sees a silver button, immediately pushing it
It is a trap
As soon as she pushes it, the floor below her collapses, and she is now stuck underground
In the underground, Leonor sees the people with surgical masks
She sneakily follows one of the masked men
She realizes that behind all the paintings she has been suspecting of before, is this place
This is where some of the staff work in the dark;
and she is about to find out what they are doing inside this dim-lighted and crowded area
Leonor finds the end of the place
Unlike the other area, this one is well lit
She sneakily peeks; and she sees the people with the surgical masks
All of their clothes seem to be stained with blood
Leonor also sees them carrying naked, unconscious bodies
She thinks that these are the audiences that were killed by the staff
Some of the masked men are seen chopping human body parts
This explains why their uniforms are full of blood
Their job is to make sure that the body parts are well chopped
Leonor cannot bother to look at them anymore, worrying about her husband and daughter
Inside her mind, they might be dead and killed by these people
This is the rising action of the film
It is revealed that the show has a bloody and gory side to it
The revelations that we will find out later will explain why this film is called "horror"
It makes the viewers choke on their own saliva
Going away to the bloody place, Leonor bumps into Lars
As soon as they bump into each other, Lars knocks Leonor down
Lars pulls her unconscious body into a crowded room
Not long after that incident,
Leonor finds that her feet and hands are tied with rope while hanging upside down
Mathias looks her in the eye and says, "Join us "
Mathias says that Leonor is the longest person who has survived the theater play
Leonor realizes that the hotel has so much food despite the famine,
because they are eating all the human audience
Leonor begs Matias to let her go so she can be with her family
Leonor refuses the invitation of Mathias to join their team
He says it is a shame because her husband, Jacob,
accepted the invitation and understood their situation
Mathias pulls inside his suit the red dress of Alice
He apologizes and says that he did not mean to take Alice away from her
As soon as Alice sees the dress, she becomes distressed; and she asks him where he put her daughter
Mathias orders Lars to finish off Alice
However, as he is about to cut her throat, Jacob comes into the scene
Jacob says to Lars that he will try to convince his wife to join the team
He says to Leonor that they can do so many things in the hotel,
unlike the outside world, wherein they barely eat food
Leonor insists that she will not join the hotel
That is why Jacob gives up, and requests Lars if he could make the killing
Lars gives the knife to Jacob for him to kill his wife
Little does he know, Jacob lunges at him and punches him in the face, making him touch the floor
Jacob then immediately uses the knife to free his wife from the rope
However, Lars stabs Jacob from behind, leaving him dying
After he stabs Jacob, he immediately goes to Leonor to be his next target
To protect herself,
Leonor bites Lars' wrist, and pushes him to the sharp hook
leaving him dead and with a big hole around his stomach
This scene explains that even when they get to be murderers,
some of the people, like Lars, still join the hotel for the sake of their family
Lars showed that he joined the hotel to give her family a much more comfortable life
The film is trying to say that, in a dystopian, famine-stricken society,
even good people can do bad things for them to survive
Leonor goes to Mathias, and threatens him to expose him to the new audience
if he does not tell her where Alice is
However, all the audience thinks this is only a play
Mathias whispers to her that he is glad that he finally joined the theater
Leonor gets an idea to convince the audience that she is telling the truth
Using her acting skills, she wants to make the audience intrigued by her, follow her character,
and show them where they chop the people
While acting, all of the audience follow Leonor
Mathias gets distressed, and orders the team to stop them
Leonor is successful in her plan
All of the audience, including Kathrine and the other actor,
sees for the first time the butcher room
All of them rush to Mathias to blame him
After all this time, the other actors and actresses did not know that they were killing people
Leonor asks Mathias where Alice is, because she knows that she is not dead yet
Suddenly coming into the scene, Rakel stabs Mathias in the stomach
Mathias says that he kept Alice alive, because she reminds him of her late daughter
Mathias is slowly dying, and gets picked up by the people
In the end, Leonor is reunited with her daughter, Alice
This time, it is not her imagination anymore
Knowing that she is real, she hugs her and makes sure that Mathias
and all the other bad people will never separate them again
They go outside the hotel, and go back to the place where they belong
