Review of Requiem

Requiem (2006)
6/10
not scary at all
9 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
I am going to try to make you see this movie is not a horror film. there I was, waiting for the horror to start. but I was waiting hopelessly, because this movie is not about the creepy side effects of the (based on true events) story about a girl who is possessed by a demon. maybe I should be more precise: the movie is totally not about religion (the word 'requiem' in the title, what's the purpose of it if there's no explanation in the film?), it's about a disease. a psychological disease. at least, that's what I understood. it seems the director must have been thinking there were already too many horror films with this theme. an he could be right. there are literally hundreds of movies about exorcism and things like that. so if you want a real horror film, than do not watch this movie. it's not scary at all. in fact, the moment you think it's beginning to get scary, the movie ends. and in a certain way, it really is scary when the end credits roll over your screen: they mention how the real story ended. with that notion in your mind, you have something eerie crawling over your back. but that's all.
