WEEKEND BERHANTU
We (Mr. Husband and I) reached another milestone in our “mini project” over the weekend. The walls are all lighted now! :D This coming weekend will be another session.
Apart from that, weekend was good. Watched Pocong 2 and Jangan Pandang Belakang. For a start I have one thing to say; JPB was disappointing. It was slow to begin with and the lead female actress (I forgot her name!) was utterly out of place, out of sync compared to the more experienced Piere Andre. She failed to play the twin’s sister role effectively and convincingly. Lakonannya langsung takda gaya orang yang baru kehilangan saudara kembar!! Sungguh tidak memberangsangkan! Her expressions were so out-of-place, her speech was monotonous and her movements were awkward! She’s definitely a “SPOIL FACTOR” in JPB.
The depiction of hantu was pathetic. It lost its chill factor prematurely (and this is coming from a very penakut person!). At some point, it looked like one of the characters in the epic Ramayana and Sita Dewi.
I don’t think we need to go to great lengths when portraying the hantu physically on screen. Some of the scarier moments in JPB didn’t involve any hantu appearing on screen at all! There were moments when the lead character’s opah was found talking to an invisible friend. These were scary moments and it made the hair at the back of my neck stood up! Rusminah Sidek played her role with the versatility and flair she’s known to have. She gave some light touches to the movie and cleverly manipulated the audience sentiment.
The finale was rather abrupt. At the end of the movie, we found ourselves asking, “is that it?” What a disappointment…
Pocong 2 was ok. I hate to say this, but it was better than JPB. The directing was good, especially the photography. The shots were maximized to create suspense and the hantu only appeared swiftly each time. It was not great but it got me jumping a lot more than JPB did.
Mr. Husband said I am terrible at watching horror movies. I make too much noise and most of the time; I hide behind his back or have the pillow to cover my face.
I say “No comment” to that. Nyeh!
