Scream of the Ghost
I watched this movie after our Kruhaylympics at the cinemas last July 9, 2011.
I normally watch romantic-comedy movies, but oftentimes, horror movies really interest me. So the moment I heard the title of this movie in the radio, I instantly thought, 'Oh, this will be good!'. My mother actually wants us all to watch the latest Transformers film, but I insisted on watching this film. I was excited then, but the moment I saw the promotional poster, my excitement suddenly died down because the poster looked somehow like for cheap movies honestly and frankly speaking. But I STILL went for it with my sister.
BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!
(FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T WATCHED THE FILM YET)
So let's start with the positive comments:
- The setting of the movie is good. It gives off a dark, mysterious and scary feeling running down your spine.
- The sound and some of the visual effects is quite good since I felt fear and started covering my eyes.
- The supporting characters' acting skills were good and convincing enough.
And here's the downside of the movie...a heck lot of it:
- The plot is very cliche. It's somehow about the main character, together with her husband, visiting her bed-ridden mother and I tink she did something to the mother to make the latter despise her, even to the point of wanting to kill her for revenge. And some of the scenes are just plain stupid honestly, like they have just been put there to actually make the movie longer. This is even the first time I fell asleep through half of a movie. I think that just proves it.
- The visual effects are generally not that good since most of the times, the way the ghosts and the dead fly has glitches and the throwing of the ax has unforgivable errors too. Considering that we're in a time where technology is almost at its peak, I think this is quite unforgivable really.
