This is really more of a 4.5 but I can't quite bring myself to up the grade to 5. This movie requires some patience, because in the beginning our heroine is a legitimately terrible person, and she remains that way for the first half of the movie. Donna is a reporter for a Buzzfeedesque news outlet who has been trying to get her cartoonishly evil boss to give her good leads, but is not having any success because she is interested in covering serious news and her boss just wants hits. Donna accidentally receives a hot tip meant for one of her more successful coworkers, and as she runs with it, she attracts a curse to herself by being a terrible person. No, really. Watch what she does and see if you don't agree. In the process of figuring out the cause and effects of the curse, Donna grows a conscience, and this part of the story is genuinely interesting, however it takes a while to get there. In the meantime, you're stuck sitting there going 'what the hell... she did not just put that necklace on' and other reactions to her thoughtless behavior. One character describes her petty revenge attacks in their college newspaper as an example of her being a strong person, but no... that's just her being vindictive. Anyway, eventually she does manage to figure out enough of the curse to realize her own culpability and try to stop it, but there's a twist that leads to a rather runny set piece in which two characters try to hide from a ghost and then think they can sneak out of a building while the ghost's back is turned. Only in Scooby Doo does that ever work. Then it's got one of those frustrating endings in which we're expected to believe that someone who accidentally set a vengeful ghost on people is supposed to be prosecuted for it in a court of law (or should be, for that matter). But overall it's pretty watchable.

This movie was quite shallow. Cheap scares, and half-cooked plot. I watched the original movie beforehand and it was not that good in the first place, but still, it had more substance than this. The mystery was quickly stripped when it was already revealed that the ghosts were responsible for the deaths. One thing I can applaud about the original is that it still played with the idea of true crime, because the ghosts weren't revealed until the end. In the original, even though it was obviously supernatural, it still had that feeling of true crime.

I also would have liked it if they focused more on the part that Donna was a suspect. In the original, her being the suspect played a huge role in the plot but in this, it was kind of overridden halfway through and they just focused more on the supernatural aspect.

This movie also took a lot of inspiration from, I'm guessing, Ju-On. The scares are "Same old, Same old". The ending was also kind of, eh. Still trying to process it. It's definitely interesting.

I also would like to say that almost none of the characters were love-able nor interesting. Donna definitely was kind of a villain here, right? The only interesting and love-able character was her twin, which they killed off early on for the scare of course. I liked Kim Chiu's acting, she's got a lot more to show. I'm also just confused as to why her character felt the need to "Harapin mo ko", proceeded to take the U-turn, and then when they DID confront her, she was scared? Huh.. Like what was that about? Anyway, I have some good things to say too.

Budget was definitely high but that's expected. The atmosphere of the U-turn here was eerie. Although in a more realistic sense, the original movie's U-turn scared me a lot more. Since it was public, busy, and definitely inevitable. Which would then cause a lot of people taking the U-turn to die, without even knowing they did anything wrong. Their acting was bearable too.

Overall, un-inspired, but tried. The director definitely had an idea in mind, a good one. It was just not properly executed.

The plot could've been more sinister, maybe adding a bit more concrete scary scenarios would've made this film nicer instead of just having a fully made up witch chick crawl on the dirty floor. It lacked the spice of a real horror movie BUT it's not super horrible. Amidst all these, Kim Chiu still shined in the movie. She's capable of resuscitating this lackluster film and kinda put a pulse in it. Even if it's bradycardic.

Story line is bad, script is bad, bad character build up and I just can't believe many people would cross Uturn with a signage not to cross and would still cross (just like people are all undisciplined) and the role of Kim (the lead) is so annoying..

So we've seen this U-Turn movie in Netflix w/c is a Filipino adaptation of an Indian movie w/ the same title. Not exactly my favorite horror movie. Stellar cast so I expected a top notch horror movie. It was chilling at the onset but the scenes grow on you and you start asking why this multo is beginning to move and act like a zombie ...then an emotional wreck the next instance. Intriguing story but there are a lot of good, creative Pinoy horror films that's been shown (why is there a need for an adaptation when it's not that good anyway).

Kim Chiu gave the ghosts the address to find the killer but why does she have to do that when the ghosts have actually followed and knew the addresses of the victims who took the U-Turn without even asking anyone. What a shame!!! Also, the scripts are shallow.

I've never thought I would dislike a main character as much as I did in this movie. The first 10 minutes into the film I wanted her to die. Her ignorant and bad character were just unimaginable. So much negatives to say about the lead character so I won't even go there. Over all, this movie sucks big time. Characters are terrible! A waste of time.

Oh, I love how the ghosts are so human-like. They actually go search for you and while the ghost mother floats at times, then walks at times, then crawls at times. The ghost daughter walks like a normal little child with shadows and all. They look more like flesh eating zombies than anything else.

The second worst part of the movie after the lead character is how she is able to touch all those victim's bodies. Common sense you don't mess up a crime scene. And you don't just go touch dead bodies. Those dead people should have haunt the lead character imo. Anyhow, bad script writing shows limited research from writers, directors. Sorry for the negative comments but I really need to let it out after I tried so hard to finish this movie.

This has nothing to do with biker gangs, it's about people who make an illegal u turn, it's a nice wee horror with ghosts killing people, it's a remake of an Indian film and it's subtitled.

What is the name of the restaurant with a city view?
