Coming from the glory periods of Asian horror, I would expect a much better horror film. The story is now so stale and overused and it has been used in countless Asian films.
The usage of English is not to my liking at all. The flat accents really turned me off. The dialogue doesn't seem genuine when they speak such flat English. It could have been better if it was maybe in Tagalog or something. The English could have been limited only to certain circumstances. This was a big problem with the movie.
The story moves in predictable directions with nothing new in execution. Even the jump scares are not highly interesting. I am not so convinced that they actually tried to build up the atmosphere. They just tried to show the same old clichéd jump scares.
So why do I give it a 5? The movie redeems itself by the ending a little bit. Frankly it was going on predictable lines that I wasn't really expecting a twist. So when it came, I was a little surprised. But I wouldn't say it is a great ending. The lead actress is pretty so that is a plus and she is adequate in her role. There are some scenes which are impressively done like the festival scene but they are too few and far between. Overall I am not satisfied.
5/10
