Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

alshwenbear1 This movie is a futile attempt to scare you, even though it had its moments, it is what it is, a sophomoric film destined for the trash, no point in wasting your time describing all the flaws in it.Piece of advice if you really want to "enjoy" this overlong story, read the description and move along, if not, prepare yourself for disappointment.Generously, I will give three stars out of ten, because of those few crafted moments, but after that, it's childish at best, moronic and incongruent.As much as I love foreign movies, this one will be in my "Never, ever watch it again" list!

dbborroughs Supposedly based upon a true incident, as all "good" ghost stories are, this is the story of what happens when several people seek to repeat an event that had happened 20 years before. It seems that several people set up a film projector and screen in an open area in the jungle. When they started screening the film the field was empty. During the course of the film it began to fill with people wandering in from the woods. When the film ended everyone except the projectionist disappeared. As the film opens a small group of people are trying to run down details of what exactly happened. The details from the news accounts are sparse. They try and locate anyone who was there, finding one man in a hospital sick and slightly unbalanced grasping tightly at an amulet. They try to locate the film that was screened, a quest which opens up many doors that should remained closed. What happens from there will shake them, and the audience.This is a good, quietly disturbing horror film. It's a film that relies on mood and lighting and half caught images to slowly build the tension. When was the last film that sent chills up and down your spine with just the sound of a creak? Or a lot of creaks? This is a film that is mostly free of fancy special effects. The ghosts we see are decidedly low tech, but they are effective. They are glimpsed on the edges of the frame in the background, and occasionally right in front of one of out protagonists. It all helps to build to a real sense of unease. I don't know when I was left feeling this uneasy. Certainly I don't know when a film invaded my dreams and had me dreaming of ghosts all night. This is not a film of scares and screams, there are a few jumps and starts, but mostly this is a film of slowly building dread that never is fully dissipated.Its not a perfect film. It's a film that has a great deal going on that isn't said. Things are implied between characters. The narrative kind of wanders and moves with a dream logic that seems to leave things out. It builds tension but also a bit of confusion. I kept feeling I was missing something. The films ending, which I'm sure was truly terrifying in a theaters, works less well on home video. Its still bothered me, but not as much as it would have had I been in a theater.Over all this was a pleasant surprise for me. Normally I'm up and down with Thai horror films, finding them either truly scary or more times than not dull and boring. This was neither dull nor boring. This was a more than slightly unnerving experience. Definitely worth a look, especially if you're curled up in a dark room on a stormy night.
