Review of Kandisha

Kandisha (2008)
8/10
good movie
8 January 2010
I saw this film at oxford film fest and was stunned. This flick is up to par with the best Asian horror pix. muted colors and low key characters used in a very effective way. The plot is not the best part about the film but it works. I found the courtrooms scenes daring and brilliantly shot. A lot of the movie reminded me of "The Others" by Alejandro Amenabar. The slow burn is efficient and the waiting game really keeps you on edge. I am impatient to see this director's next project. There were rumors at oxford fest about Cohen Oliver tackling on Hollywood. If this happens, I just hope he doesn't not lose his Spanish-Asian touch. That's what sold me.
