3 movies and series to watch to stay in the Squid Game mood

We just got rid of the robber costumes Theft of money that now we will have to fuck a billion guys in fuchsia costumes and participate in all escape games Squid game.

Netflix’s fault again. So be it.

Squid Game, what is it?

If you have escaped the phenomenon (which we frankly doubt)which like all phenomena is funny for 2 days and then goes crazy, this is Netflix’s new South Korean series that is a hit on the platform and drives people a little crazy.

The story is simple (at least in part): a boy on the verge of a nervous breakdown named Seong Gi-hun (remarkable Lee Jung-jae) spends all his money on gambling.

And for good reason, that’s just how he gets a chance to earn a large sum of money to pay off his debts and get his nose off the shit.

Mass, it’s hell for poor Seong Gi-hunwho dreams of being able to raise his daughter decently – to whom he has just given a gun-shaped lighter for her birthday, an artifact won at toy machines by a child.

While on the subway, shortly after being beaten up by the boy to whom he owes a lot of money, he is approached by a handsome boy in a suit and tie who offers to play a game for money.

After that, said BG leaves him a card and offers to call him if he is ready to win money during a bigger game.

In the evening, in his room, Seong Gi-hun accepts. He is then taken to a mysterious place where more than 400 people are crammed into a kind of pop-colored dormitory.

Their mission? Play games for kids.

Their earning potential? A large sum of money. Huge enough for him to pay off his debts.

The potential downside? The death.

It’s the beginning of the bloodbath…

Some movies and series to stay in the mood of Squid Game

If – like a large part of the French and world population – you have succumbed to the bloodthirsty sirens of sometimes good blood Squid gameyou may still be in demand for content of the same type.

Okay: there are many, movies and series high concept game of death to live peacefully on our streaming platforms!

Here are some of them, especially dear to our hearts.

Alice in Borderland, available on Netflix

This is the case with Netflix’s mysteries: certain programs pull its cover, while other equally outstanding content presents itself with more timid success.

Finally, let’s exaggerate a bit: Alice in the Borderland did not go unnoticed on Netflix and was also very successful, until its manga version was found worn out pretty much everywhere.

Only its radiation is a little less than that of the phenomenon Squid gamethat even your grandmother heard of.

However, their concepts come together.

Adapted from Haro Aso’s graphic novel of the same name, this series straight from Japan features Kento Yamazaki (death Note) as Alice Ryôhei who, in a sense, suffers from Peter Pan syndrome.

With his friends Chôta Segawa and Karube Daikichi, he imagines a better world. After a night of drinking, they are all thrown together in a video version of Tokyo where they have to survive by playing.

A frankly addictive series that is hard to get rid of once you start.

The two parts of battle royale

You’ve probably seen them before, or at least heard of them.

Battle royalthis is one of the best-known Japanese feature films in the world and Quentin Tarantino’s favorite movie, which he tells anyone who will listen is a great source of inspiration for many of his creations.

Released in 2000 and directed by Kinji Fukasaku, Battle royal is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Kōshun Takami. And how Squid gamebut perhaps even more trashy, he films a bloodbath.

The first part of Battle royal is set in the near future and follows the 3rd B students of Shiroiwa Middle School, who are taken to a deserted island by a mysterious army.

There, their former teacher Mr. Kitano announces to them that they will participate a killing game whose rule is simply to kill each other. Only the last survivors will be able to go home.

Sort of a hardcore premise a The Hunger Gamesof which we also love the second part, Battle Royale 2: Requiemdirected by Kenta Fukasaku, son of the director of the first work.

3%, on Netflix

We are going to a series from a completely different corner of the world with 3%since it is a Brazilian achievement.

Adapted from a web series created by Pedro Aguilera, this Netflix dystopia takes place somewhere on the outskirts of São Paulo, where society has been split in two to ensure the survival of part of the population.

3% is the rate of the population it reaches pass the selection process and ends up being sent to the “Autre Rive”, a utopian city accessible only by water. All inhabitants of the Continent can try their luck as soon as they turn 20, but they are entitled to only one attempt.

The Process consists of several tests to determine the intelligence and merit of belonging to the society of the lucky ones.

Naturally, some disadvantaged people on the continent opposed this selection and formed the Cause, a rebel group.

We warn you: visually, 3% it is millennia away Squid gameand for good reason: the two products didn’t enjoy the same budgets… but she mustn’t be pouting about all thisand will slowly bring you back (it’s less gory than the rest of this selection) from the vibe of the other content!
