The storyline is quite straight forward and simple, as in any other local horror movies, where someone trespasses on an island, breaks an old spell, and then all bad things start from there. It sounds pretty familiar, right? Ya, it's the same old story as many others out there!
The pace is alright, BUT you just cant expect much.
The character development is weak. Dauz is supposed to be the 'naughty one' or 'problem creator', but the character was NOT well built at the beginning! Mark's (Indian) cowardly personality is NOT well presented either! As such, none of them is outstanding, and audiences could hardly be bothered if any of them died! Besides, Khai is after KAT, but he is NOT with KAT most of the time, leaving her with Ben or alone, while he kept getting jealous of Ben throughout the movie. This is so unreal!
The entire movie relies heavily on jump-scares! The evil creature is NOT really scary, but annoying to some extent. The cross-cultural love story is rather extra + touch-n-go, adding very little value to the overall movie.
About the sexy scenes, well.. for a local movie, it may perhaps bring some attention, but as a frequent movie-goer, it's really NO BIG DEAL!
For a local production, I gave 6 / 10. It's an ok typical local horror movie, without anything big or impressive element! I think local horror movies appear to be 'stagnant' without much breakthrough. It's definitely NOT a must-watch movie, BUT if you wish to support local production, go ahead!!
