Gato C Feb 17 Sin duda una pelicula muy diferente, nos muestra tradiciones de una cultura conocida pero poco mostrada, sin duda la recimiendo. See more 09/14/2015 180629: This film takes on two of my passions, one being the horror genre the other art in general; tattooing in particular. It's a fun idea, especially considering the lesser recognized, for North Americans, Samoan perspective. Though featuring not exactly the best acting or storyline, this film does offer a few catchy special effects, about the only reason I'd ever want to look back upon it. Worth watching if you're a horror aficionado but don't expect to be thrilled often. See more 08/15/2015 The subject matter makes for a fairly unique storyline for a horror, although its an average production at best with a plot work through that requires much more pace. See more 12/13/2014 Love Jason Behr. The movie was much better than expected! See more 07/06/2013 I can se how someone would find this to be cliche, and make fun of it, but I personally loved it. It was heartwarming (as heartwarming as a horror movie could be) and I really got into the characters. See more 05/18/2013 This would have scored higher with me if the incidental characters weren't made of cheese, the young Maori kid (who's supposed to be Samoan) who needs fast cars and load hip hop to channel spirits is especially shit. It's kinda like a Samoan/New Zealand The Grudge. Apparently alot of the Samoans (and the few Maori playing Samoans) don't speak very good Samoan - which is annoying. At one point you see a small amount of boobage... See more Read all reviews
