Review of Rahsia

Rahsia (2023)
5/10
A typical local horror movie with pure jump-scares!
17 August 2023
Well, as it's a reboot of a local classic horror movie from 1987, the overall plot is thus very old-school and straight forward. There is a small twist at the end, but no big deal really.

The entire movie is filled with jump-scares from the beginning to the end. It comes in a second, and goes in the next, with loud noise + a scary creature! That's it! It just comes and goes x 10!

There are some creepy moments of eerie moving toys, self-playing-piano, pulling legs' tricks in the mysterious bungalow. BUT all these are no longer something new or impressive for today's audiences. Although it's a remake, I strongly believe that newer scary elements shall be inserted to enhance the haunting experience.

Nabila Huda, the actress, acted well, but she may have over-acted at the beginning. However, as time passes, she shows the depth of her emotions and personality.

For a local production, I gave 5/ 10. Everything is just too old-fashioned, from plot, setting, jump-scares to acting. If you enjoy old-school horror movies, this is your choice! BUT if you expect some thrilling and compelling visual excitement, wish to nail yourself to the chair, this movie will fail you badly!
