This movie is something. Technically video wise, it looks much better than most films that come out of that country. Audio wise, they still can't get post processing done right. It's a bit too long. I kept on shouting, "OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR YOU PUSSY!!!" This movie is full of cliches that I can't do away with. I don't know why the characters walk so slowly when they do something that is of importance. I even laughed when the girlfriend got beat up by the invisible policeman. I even laughed when the caretaker retells what happens because as you know, they need somebody to spell it out for the characters. What I truly didn't like was the direction of the film. It showed scenes from the past and molded them with the present so it confused the viewer of when that is happening. I would have liked it if it was like Silent Hill 4 when the character would just view the action from the peephole or like in the movie he would only hear the noises. But they still had to place those scenes from the past into the present.......fucking retarded I tell you.
I also hated the fact that the person who encoded it put the film in 2.35:1 ratio. Thank god for VLC because I could adjust it to 1.85.
Anyways, pinoy films are getting better. They just need to tell the story better without resorting to film cliches.
On other movie news, I can't stop watching that fight scene in SPL between the assassin and Donnie Yen. It's made so well especially with the music. At the climax of the fight, the upbeat music starts to play and gets louder and louder as the fight continues and ends with a choir boy singing. It sort of says to the viewer, "I beat you motherfucker." I finally got some english subs to go with the movie so this time this week, I have to watch the movie again.
