Gnome’s Place

Been a while (almost 6months) since my last post, Malaysians are oh-so creative…. I didn’t have anything to write lar. Problems cluttering my thinking, blocking my ability to think what to write (LOL.. over pulak! :P)

A few days back a friend of mine wanted to watch a midnight movie, so i thought, what the hell, it’s been a while since i watched a midnight movie. Drive over to MidValley, sesat in the parking to find a perfect spot, closer to the theatre. Look at what movie is available and Drag Me To Hell is available. So, buy the tickets la.

Now, a review about the movie. From my own view. !!SPOILER ALERT!!

At the start of the movie, they show a kid, that stolen a locket from a gypsy cart. The parents of the kid wanted to return the locket but they wont accept it. So, they bring the kid to a witch-doctor a.k.a ‘bomoh’ to help the kid, since the kid is locket is cursed and a goat-devil,Lamia, creature is coming after the kid’s soul and dragging it back to hell.The bomoh failed and the kid is dragged to hell.

The story then fast forwards to the present day. Where a bank loan officer,Christine Brown, is forced to make a decision wether she approved an extension on the loan of Mrs Ganush,an old and weird lady. Then, Mrs Ganush  curses Christine because she shamed her.

Then, came the parking lot fight scene. Here, it starts to get weird. The  old lady becomes pretty tough when she attacked Christine in her car. Through out the whole scene , i was like, WTF?!. The old lady got skills man! She got smacked,elbowed, stapled(Christine stapled her eyes together), even survived a car crash! The funniest thing in the scene is when the old lady tried to bite Christine’s chin but was unable to since her fake teeth is removed when she hit the dashboard during the car crash. I laughed so hard that time.Then she got locked out of her car and even managed to smash the car window with a big pile of concrete! Those fxxking Americans wanting to fool the world. Haha.  After 2-3 minutes of the scene, Mrs Ganush took one of Christine’s button and curses it. This is the start of the terror on Christine.

I dont want to continue to tell you guys about the movie. Go watch it. just given you a little bit of a ‘preview’ of the movie. For me, the story is not so scary at all. I didn’t even get shocked during the movie. Okay, i was shocked once, but the scene that shocked me wasn’t a scary scene, but the scene where Christine’s boyfriend ( played by Justin Long greatly) almost hits a man on the road. That’s the only scene that shocked me! You can imagine how unscary the movie is. right?

For me, the movie is more to funny than to scary. But, it does make you want to puke though. Don’t watch the movie on a full stomach. LOL. Some people will get a little bit sick cause of all the effects in the movie. All the vomiting, some blood and explosion of bodies. Heh.

Overall, i give this movie a B. It’s quite okay but the movie has no moral values to present. Just a scary movie ( which is not that scary). The story line is not that great, the movie is kinda flat. But, it is filled with fast camera movement, and scenes trying to give viewers a shock. BTW, i think that Christine didn’t deserve to go to hell.

Grab a ticket and watch it yourself(if you haven’t yet). Give me your comment of this movie too!
