10/23/2013 Just an overall average horror flick. I wasn't too fond of the twist at the end. See more 06/30/2012 A decent horror flick. Singapors first horror movie and its a decent start. See more 04/05/2012 I'm sure I got the idea and the message of the movie, but I think the movie itself is just predictable *for me. I like it when the movie points out a Chinese belief about the seventh month of the Chinese calendar. See more 02/01/2012 This made me jump more then I thought it would. Ghost creep me out for some reason, don't know why. Nicely done for a horror. See more 11/04/2011 baket nageenglish si rosa pag kausap ang sarili at pag kausap yung multong filipina rin.. parang di makatotohanan... di ko gusto ung random na pananakot pero gusto ko yung twist sa dulo See more jesse o @RT12547577 11/02/2011 I was originally going to watch two previous movies before I settled on this one. Moss, a Korean movie, was way too fucking long and I was short on time. Tokyo Zombie, a Japanese movie (duh) had English dubbing, and I refuse to watch live action foreign film in any other language than the original. So, I settled for this. It's a pretty bad movie. As far as plot, it's actually better than the average J or K-horror in the sense that it doesn't purposely try to confuse you. So that's good, but this movie fails on every other conceivable level out there. The acting is pretty goddamn horrendous. This is due to the fact that a lot of the dialogue is English and some of these actors just can't speak the language all that well, so it makes the entire production look completely low-rent. This is probably not an issue in Asian countries, but goddamn. For all I know, some of these people were actually good...but you wouldn't know it. Is it that hard to cast someone from the Philippines that also speaks the native language and just have her perform the script in that language. Alessandra de Rossi's English was actually really good, it's just everyone else around her, when speaking to her, that was terrible. Just low-rent presentation. The movie, while with an interesting subject with the Chinese seventh month, just isn't that interesting. And with the shitty acting, it makes it worse. The movie also does try to throw in more scares than your typical J/K-horror movie, but it's not like it's all that scary either. It just feels out of place. The climax of the movie also feels like fucking amateur hour. Maybe I'm just being too harsh on this movie. Maybe Lake Mungo has made me expect more from horror movies, but I just hated this movie. I can't find any reason, other than monetary, to justify this film's existence. Just avoid by any means. Go watch the original Shutter, which is much better, if you really want to watch this type of movie. See more Read all reviews
