Jangan Pandang Belakanggg...

Naz and I went to watch the latest malay horror movie - Jangan Pandang Belakang last night. Since Naz couldn't book the tickets online, by the time we got to the cinema, there were only two rows left and obviously, the two extreme front rows. Darn...nevertheless, I was still very excited. Infact, I have been excited about the movie since the day the stuntman of that movie passed on during the filming of the movie while doing one of the stunts. It was a tragic accident, poor thing. Hold on, let me get one thing straight, the excitement didn't start because of the death of the stuntman but that was how I got to know about the movie...Saw a bit of the snippet from the news and it looked quite fascinating...

Back to the movie, was it scary? Yes, tiniest bit...However, it was a very interesting movie but not the kind that would make you want to pee in your pants. (the leading actress - unfortunately, quite kaku and unnatural la, sorry :()
Worst thing was that the mood (you know - the kind that has your adrenalin rushing through your veins) dissapeared quickly. Many people were talking in the cinema la and so, I had lost my focus from the beginning. One guy even answered his mobile phone and talked loudly for heck of a long time - everybody was going shhh,shhh,shhh...The guy next to Naz was telling his friend about the movie - as in what was going to happen next (why on earth), I guess he had seen the movie already (duhhh).

The movie has a touch of humour here and there which was fun in a way but I didn't expect to laugh as much. Actually I laughed more because of the audience and not so much because of the movie. There were so many memeranjatkan scenes, you know, pontianak coming out from no where. Many people got the shock of their lifes and started melatahing...the ones I heard clearly yesterday (across the room) were opocot(s) and mak engkau(s)and everytime someone termelatah, everyone surrounding that someone, started laughing and I pun laughed too...you just have to be there, farney largh...Put it this way, I laughed more during this movie then when watching scenario, hehehe.

Anyway, in this movie the hantu was always waving his/her hands vigorously to probably look scary. Why? I dont' see that in other horror movies and they can be scarier. I guess, it is not fair for me to be comparing our local horror movies with the others e.g. exorcist, Ju-on etc. No doubt Jangan Pandang Belakang is the best Malay Horror Movie I have ever watched so far and I'm definitely recommending my friends to watch but as for my personal rating...I am only giving it a 3/5 (jangan mara aaa...)
