Aiyai: Wrathful Soul

In parts. Just as an example the lead character has suffered an injury and the one who cares for this person the most apparently doesn't know what an injury is and that it needs tending too. Also, there is a back and forth in the timeline that doesn't work at all. Story follows an East Asian man as he looks for a job and unwittingly helps out a vengeful spirit. Not much more than that sadly. It's an okay movie because the lead is an East Asian while everyone else is white -- sorta refreshing but still only a 5.1-5.3 out of 10.

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.

It rarely happens for horror movies on here. Most of the time horror movies are under rated on here but this one was definitely over rated. 7 is not accurate - IMO. I was intrigued and I wanted to know what was going on but there were some elements that weren't needed at all. Then some flashbacks we're improperly placed. It wasn't 10 which is a movie I can watch over and over. And it's not a 1 - a wooden film with no plot, acting and film skill of me (I have no skill). But a 7 is generous. 5 is my vote.

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.

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.
