Movie Review
Overall I felt that the movie was great! I like the plot as well as how the movie sequence is arranged. At first I really cannot tell what is going on. But the movie offers a couple of good twists here and there, revealing what actually happened till the very end. So it's suspense and surprises all the way till the end of movie. Also the movie is filmed in a very "Hong Kong movie" fashion, which takes local production to greater heights. Sound effects are nicely done unlike most horror flicks which provides unnecessary and too much "scare" effects, this movie's well balanced
What I didnt like about the movie is the violence. I expected more graphical violence! Lol! Ok , I'm not encouraging violence or what, but having a rating of M18, I expected a little more. But for the faint heart and the not-so-gore supporters, this movie is just nice. It gives the faint idea of what's going on, showing the end phase with not so much graphical effects.
I think this is a movie worth watching! Let's all support local production!
Bonus: The theme songs are really nice too!
Overall rating - 4 / 5
