Throughout the film, we see the characters trapped in a brutal cycle, manipulated into revealing their authentic reactions to terror, which Fabrizio aimed to record and exploit for entertainment and profit. This manipulative plot is exposed when Elisa, the only survivor, uncovers Fabrizio’s betrayal—revealed through the speaker in his ear, indicating his collaboration with the masked killers.
