Pocong 2 (2006)
6/10
Routine but suitably creepy Indonesian horror flick
1 April 2008
Maya and her younger sister Andin are orphans since a year back and have just started to move on with their lives.Maya is getting married to her boyfriend soon and Andin is afraid that Maya will forget about her.To patch things up with her sister,Maya decides to buy Andin her own apartment now that she's starting college and has to take care of herself. What she doesn't know is that the building is haunted and the terrifying ghost starts to haunt Andin.It's a surprise that such derivative horror flick received so many glowing reviews.It obviously borrows from "Shutter","Ju-on","The Eye" and many other successful Asian horror movies.Admittedly some scenes are pretty creepy,but I wasn't paralyzed with fear.Jaume Balaguero's recent horror hit "Rec" is far more scarier.Still a stark,white and empty apartment building,with claustrophobic rooms and dark shadowy corners and hallways is the perfect setting.6 out of 10.
