Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a horror film: "Come Play"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins when a child is shown in the scene
He is shown watching cartoons from his cell phone
While he cannot sleep, he goes to his mother's room to check on his mother, Sarah
Struggling to fall into oblivion, he goes around the whole house to make himself feel tired
Going back to his bed sometime later, he opens his phone,
and checks his e-book entitled: Misunderstood Monsters
It is a visual story intended for children
While looking at the e-book, he finds his lamp turning on and off without any reason
The child ignores it, and continues reading the story
According to the book, Larry is a misunderstood monster;
and it says that Larry just wants to have a friend
Frightened, all of the lights in the child's room start turning off
Being curious about it, the child takes his flashlight,
and checks if there is someone in the room with him
To prevent anyone from coming inside his room, the child closes the door
However, as soon as he closes the door, it immediately opens
To ensure that it will not happen again,
the child puts stuff below the door to prevent something from opening it
The child, being so frightened, hides inside his blanket as he cries for help
His hands are starting to tremble
He can feel his body all cold and stiff, as he fears for the monster inside his room
To even add more suspense, he hears the monster trying to open the door forcibly
The child slowly takes the blanket off, and looks at his door
The child screams out loud, as an unseen monster opens his door forcibly
The child wakes up in the presence of his mother
It turns out after all this time, all of it was just a bad nightmare
Sarah hugs him to assure him that everything is alright
The child is revealed to be mute; and his name is Oliver
He uses an application on his cellphone to communicate with his family
Even though Oliver is mute, he still participates in educational activities
The main character in the story has a disability
Unlike other horror films,
this one is unique because the main character uses an unusual way to communicate with the characters
One day, a kid from his school invites him to hang out
While glued to his cellphone,
Oliver finds himself in the middle of a grass field while waiting for his friends
Not long after, the kid who invited him, comes into the field with more people
They are bullies
All of them insult Oliver on his disability
Oliver uses his cell phone, and says to one of the kids that he is ugly
Being upset about it, the bully takes Oliver's phone, and throws it far in the field
The next thing the bully does is push Oliver, and kick some dirt on his clothes
Knowing about what happened, the teachers call Oliver's mother, to let her know what happened
One of the teachers says to Sarah that her son needs to have a friend,
because a child could not afford to be alone
Going home from work, Oliver's father, Marty, gives him an iPad that he found on the lost and found
As Oliver is excited about it, Oliver's parents have a serious talk
Sarah has been complaining about her husband always getting to be the hero for their son
She suspects that their child Oliver, only loves his father, but not her
While using the given iPad, Oliver plays with the camera filters
Strangely, the camera is detecting two people in its frame
To check it, Oliver looks at the back to check if there is someone with him; but he finds nothing
Oliver thinks it is just a glitch, so he continues playing with the camera
However, as he is using it, another face has been detected
It is strange because no one is in the room with Oliver
One morning, Oliver comes downstairs with his iPad
He notices that Marty is not in the house anymore
That is why he uses the application to say: "Is dad gone?"
Strangely, the application answers him, saying "Yes
" Oliver asks the person who replies to introduce themself
After a short delay, he says that he is "Larry"
The unseen monster says that unlike his parents forcing him to be normal,
he just wants to be his friend
Because of his fear, he hides the iPad in the cupboard in hopes that he will not hear Larry again
At the same time, Sarah feels like her son is starting to avoid her more than ever
This is the big reveal
We now know the monster that is haunting Oliver
Unlike other horror films,
this is interesting because the monster is interacting with them through an iPad
But How can a gadget give horror to people?
To help Oliver make friends, Sarah invited some of the kids in the area to spend the night with him
The thing is, these were the kids that bullied him in the middle of the grass field
The kids are still making fun with Oliver's disability, as they go through the night
The kids notice that Oliver is staying in the cupboard
They suspect that Oliver is hiding something in there
One of the kids goes to the cupboard, and finds the iPad
They start reading the story "Misunderstood Monster"
As they are starting to read it, light bulbs in the room start turning off
Even worse, as they go through the book's pages, all of the light bulbs start to explode
All of the kids are very frightened
They use the iPad's camera, and see some shadows
The short-haired kid does not believe in Larry
He goes to the corner to prove that it is just their imagination
However, as soon as he goes there, the unseen monster moves the table strongly towards him
Because of what happened, Sarah calls the other parents to get their children
One of the kids lies and says that everything happened because of Oliver, saying he is a freak
Sarah starts cleaning all the mess that Larry did to the house
She finds the iPad, and starts reading the book
While reading it, all the lights suddenly start to turn on
She is now also starting to interact with the unseen monster
Larry says to her that she needs to bid farewell to her son Oliver, because he will kill him
To make sure Oliver is safe, he picks him up from school
That same day, Jennifer, the mother of Bryon, calls Sarah on the phone
She is saying that ever since the incident, Bryon refuses to speak
Suddenly, Bryon speaks and tells the truth about who hurt him
He reveals that it is Larry
He describes him as an invisible monster that tried to kill him
He clarifies to both mothers that Oliver did not do anything wrong in the incident
Because of the revelations, Sarah decides to get away as far as possible from their house
While preparing to move out, the monster, Larry, starts going through Oliver's stuff in his room
Using the iPad's camera, Oliver sees the figure of the monster
Larry gives Oliver some sort of rock for him to bring with him as they move out
Sarah tries to explain the situation to her husband Marty
Marty does not believe that such "Larry" is real
He thinks that his wife is paranoid; and he regrets moving out of the house
To prove it is true, he makes Oliver say it using the application
However, Marty still does not believe it
To keep him safe, Marty brings Oliver with him to his work
Marty still does not believe in the existence of the monster
While working, Marty sees the e-book, and starts reading it
As he reads it, the light goes on and off again
Marty is still not convinced that it is Larry's doing, but merely a coincidence
Oliver picks up the distance measurer that Marty uses
He wants to locate where Larry is, and starts pointing the laser in every direction
Strangely, the distance massively drops in one direction,
implying that Larry, the monster, is standing there
As the distance goes down, Oliver realizes that Larry is coming towards him
He could hear the monster's footsteps, and its breath gusting through his face
To make sure that the monster is near him,
Oliver uses his sticky toy, and throws it in the direction of the monster
After he throws it, Marty quickly fetches him, and leads his son to the office
Marty wants to prove to his son that he should stop using the camera,
because there is no such thing as a monster
He takes the camera from his son and uses it
Little does he know, Larry is already behind him, and is carrying his son
As Marty looks at the back, he sees Larry attacking Oliver aggressively
Marty is now convinced that the monster is true
Oliver does a drawing that perfectly illustrates the situation they have with the monster
They come to the conclusion that they and Larry are in a completely different world;
but at the same time, they are all together
Sarah realizes that Larry can interact with them; but he cannot fully reach them
They suspect that Larry wants to go into their world
Even for just small steps, the family is starting to find out more about Larry
The information they have realized might be a way for them to stop the monster
The next scenes will show whether they will be successful as a team
Trying to cut their communication with the monster, they destroy the iPad
The next day, Sarah tells Oliver's teacher about the monster
However, the teacher still does not believe her smelly bullshit,
and says that it is only physical empathy
that is why they also imagine the kid's experience
Bryon starts becoming friends with Oliver, because they share the same experience
Marty starts reading the latter pages of the book to find out more about the monster
The book says that someone could die if they do not cooperate with him
While inside his office, Marty gets stuck
He screams for help for someone to free him
Marty uses the camera, and sees the monster through it
He is crawling just outside his office
He picks a sharp thing to use as a weapon if ever Larry attacks him
Before the monster tackles him, he successfully escapes
However, as he is driving away from the office, Larry continues to follow him
That same night, the hospital calls Sarah, and says that Marty was in a car crash;
and he is currently confined in the emergency room
Somehow, their television is acting weirdly,
and the television says that because people are now preoccupied with computer screens,
they are becoming lonely
but fortunately, Larry would always be there for them
To avoid Larry, Sarah breaks all the gadgets with a computer screen in their home
Oliver starts having an episode and screams
Sarah scolds him, and says why he could not be normal for even just a second
After saying it, she quickly apologizes, and tells her son the situation of his father
Trying to escape from the house,
they see Larry coming out from all the computer screens they destroyed
One of the messages that the film is trying to portray,
is the people's preoccupation with computer screens in the current times
Many people are glued to their cell phones,
so there is now a lack of intimate communication between people
The monster Larry, is a metaphor for the loneliness we manifest as our technology advances
They go inside the house to try to escape from the monster
Oliver expresses his thoughts about Sarah's lie
He says that it is better if he just goes with Larry
Oliver leads Sarah to a field where there is no electricity for Larry to follow them
but Larry traps them there using Oliver's phone, which the boys threw earlier
To enter Larry's realm, Oliver must take his hand
but at the last moment, Sarah takes his hand instead offering to accompany him
and become his friend instead of Oliver
Oliver looks his mother in the eye for the first time in their final moments,
something Sarah has battled with since Oliver's diagnosis
Larry abducts Sarah; and the two of them vanish together, leaving Oliver alone
Oliver now lives with his father and the two of them plan to deal with their grief
Marty becomes increasingly active in Oliver's therapy
The lights go out again one night; and Marty can hear odd noises downstairs
Marty pulls out his phone, and notices Oliver and Sarah,
who have been kidnapped by Larry, joyfully playing over there
Marty smiles as Sarah tells the son, "I'll protect you "
Till the end however, Larry's destiny remains a mystery
