Revenge of the Pontianak (2019)

Excellent tribute and reimagining of the Pontianak genre

[10/10 · 31 August 2019]

I love love love this re-imagining of the Pontianak genre! It's different from the usual jumpscares. Instead, it focuses on proper storytelling with elegant art direction, camerawork and sound design. The ending nails it for me. I am so proud we have a movie of this high production quality. I think the best tribute to a well-know genre is when you are brave to reimagine something new instead of repeating the same formula - and this movie does so for me!
