It was pretty much anticipated by Erna, Alicia, Chin ( and Chin) and I. I mean… “woo~ It’s a ghost story in Kuching!” and “Woo! It’s Amber Chia (AGAIN)” and “ Woo! There’s a pondan in it!”
Ignoring all the not so positive reviews from people who have already watched it –“ Not scary at all” “I didn’t understand anything” “So very recycled”- We went to Star to watch this semi-hyped up movie.
So, you know what. Those reviews were all wrong! Possessed wasn’t a recycled, oh-so-predictable horror movie! That’s all wrong. Don’t listen to the people who say it is.
Because, Possessed, staring
COMEDY!
Woots!
Okay, so yeah! LoL~ In the beginning, the first scene where Li Su, the sister goes splat at the swimming pool side, the whole cinema hall ( Hall 2) erupted in SCREAMS LAUGHTER!
I mean SERIOUSLY. It was supposed to be a shocking OMG WTF SHE DIED! part…but no…The whole cinema hall was laughing. =.=” You know, I’m proud of our fellow Kuching-ians sense of humour. It’s a pretty, gory sense of humour. What more, I was surprised there were so many people!
And, Chin said Bjarne Wong himself was hanging around outside before we came?
Other than that, every time the screen showed waterfront or the Star Cineplex building or some other familiar Kuching landmark, everybody would laugh too. Seriously. Looking at our dirtybrowndisgusting photogenic
I think.
The haunted house was my aunt’s uncles house. Okay, understand that. My aunt’s Uncles house on the hill opposite Santubong. Heck I’ve been there. No…peeling weird white ghost came floating out of the swimming pool to courteously greet scare the shit out of me.
Bleh~!!!!!
Never mind. So after everybody laughed at our photogenic KIA (and after I whispered to Chin how proud Ting Pek Khing must be ) the story progressed and everybody quieted down a bit. Until of course when they showed the guy who died after smoking the pipe. And there was no explanation for that either.
When Sharifah’s scene came around…My side of the cinema was abuzz with “She’s speaking to her in cantonese and she’s replying in english” o.O wtf?
It was a WEIRD scene. And…after 30 seconds of Sharifah screwing up her face breaking down, crying and pulling her hair, the story finally moved on.
Other notable scenes in the movie was when Amber/ Ching did a bit of break dancing on her head while mopping the floor. She did the exorcist bit during that scene. And when she was done, one of the guys helped her up. And she just walked, like normal. Like nothing happened. And the guy said “ She’s been acting a bit strange these few days”, walked her to her room. And after she said, “I’m fine, you can go away” (or something like that) he just left. Yeah… “a bit STRANGE”
Logical no? (Erna agreed with me that we’d be running and screaming for the bomoh and not making the understatement of the year if anybody did that in front of us).
The hide and seek chase at water front was pretty funny too ^.^
All in all, this comedy horror flick isn’t all that bad. Hehe. It’s enjoyable enough. There’s enough in-your-face-BOO kinda scary scenes to let you hear a few gasps.
And best of all, it’s great to know that there’re no umbrellas or torchlights / potential in Kuching film productions.
Hopefully, the next movie would be great-er! (Though Funnier would work too)
I was here laughing.
