i hate the obv dumb people, but overall, good movie! unexpected
Wildly good. Probably my favorite possession film thus far. The pacing felt good, the clues are all there. I loved it.
Though it starts of slow - and when I say slow, I mean snail-speed slow - it picks up speed by the second hour and keeps the pace going until the end. It is well executed, and only gets creepier as it goes on. It's like Thailand's answer to "Paranormal Activity". Horror fans everywhere should give this a shot.
Decent horror flick but the film was not able to stick the landing.
Climax felt a bit rushed but the build up had a really good tempo. Not surprising that the detail to folklore was amazing as asian movies always seem to hit the spot on this one. The concept of the movie was in my field so I am a bit biased but overall a fantastic movie
