Aiyai: Wrathful Soul

I was baited by the trailer but disappointed by the film. I thought based on some of the special effects in the trailer that it would be a serious horror flick but it turned out to be another campy low budget horror comedy. Not funny at the comedy.

I only decided to watch this movie because I saw that it had a 6.7/6.9 rating from IMDB. Throughout the movie, I questioned that rating a lot because this movie is really bad. As a horror fan, it's possible that I'm being to unfair on it but this movie honestly can't compare to most horrors released this year. There are so many instances where the main character seems more like a zombie than someone who is possessed. There's music in all most every scene and that removes all kinds of suspense. I wish I could get my data back.

The scenes are jumped quickly. scares are expected and predictable. A lot of cut scenes, can be quite confusing. Low Budget movie overall. Props used are of poor quality. Effects (moving of chairs, flickering of lights, eye contact lenses of scarers) are all obviously staged and artificial. (I could literally see the contact lenses and strings to make effects).

The plot of the story is poor and doesn't link up. It's not interesting at all. Wouldn't recommend anyone to watch it.

This is a professionally made movie that is completely ridiculous. Presumably there was, at some point, a comprehensible screenplay worth funding? Good try Australia.

Why do reviewers always feel the need to give allowances for indie and small production films? If the movie is not good, just say so.... why the "for an indie project" caveats ? Does this movie reak of garbage ? Not quite, it does have its moments, but if this were a big studio production you would not be seeing any 7s, 8s, and 9s given to it. There would be many paragraphs pointing out the flaws.
