The Noise

This is a so-so film. It's coming out of Malaysia and for the most part, it is what I would consider to be a quality production from that region.

The plot is simplistic but it has a few surprises. The overall appearance of the film is decent but the CGI could've used a bit of finesse. The "ghosts" just looked too unreal and the positioning of actors in relation to the ghosts were off.

In the end, I wasn't blown away by this but it is not a waste. I did enjoy it. I would suggest taking a chance on it if you like watching good ghost stories. It won't make a top ten list but you will at least be able to say that you watched it.

The Noise have a lot of potential, it have a really good story even though we know that they just took a lot of inspiration of horror movies from all around the world, "Insidious" and "Supernatural" TV Series for example. Because of that, it just become somewhat cliché and quite predictable. The acting is OK, just her sister part that looks quite annoying with her forced cry and everything. The twist in the end is really good, even though we know that there is something wrong with the character from the start, we fail to notice that thing. Overall, its a nice horror movie, the only problem is, the budget is so cheap, make this high potential story wasted. If they put a lot more budget for the ghost make-up, background arrangement, mise en scène and everything. This movie will be better. I don't know why, but it just looks decent and so average. But, you still can enjoy this if you love Asian horror cinema. I gave 4 because of its cliché, average acting, and quite poor production value. Enjoy!
