Went with Tracy, Kenneth and Samuel to watch this movie called the Last Breath at Plaza Singapura on the recommendation of Anthony...
Well, it is supposedly a horror movie... but the horror is not in the ghosts and supernatural whatnots (there is too little of that, sadly... the ghosts are the nice ones not the kind that tries to attack the person at every corner...) but the gore with ancient brain surgery and all that... Current FTC students, go watch the movie after heightening your 'movie sensitivity' in FTC and you will get what i mean... the storyline does not follow and it is predictable and slow in the wrong places that made kenneth and i laugh instead of being thrilled by the horror, if there was to begin with... You go into the theatre thinking that it is going to be some ju on-like show and it ends up more like a slasher film. Sure, there are the usual shocks where the ghosts suddenly appear, but the irritating thing is that the ghosts mumble under their breath or screech like nobody's bloody business... can't they just talk properly and tell us what the hell they want? The music and the sound effects were like...erm... unsuited and overly dramatic for a horror movie... it sounded as if the music was from some soap opera or comedy... another so hilarious it is irritating point in the movie...
Any compliments? Well, the storyline has potential for development if it weren't so cut and paste... the war concept is good and i like that they used Japanese and Korean, languages that i am currently into... but that's just about it..
in one line, the movie is 'is this really a horror film?'
