Revenge of the Pontianak

I'm not sure what the writer and director were thinking... There are better ways to spend your time and money

If I could give less than 1 star i would be doing so. The movie is 100% lack of story line. The cinematography is good and i like what they did with the sound effects and all of that. But in the end i felt like im watching a predator movie. Only 1-2 scene you can feel the eerie but the rest it just like watching an action movie instead of a ghost movie. Seriously I felt its not worth it for me to spend it to watch at cinema. So dont waste your time. Just wait for it to be aired at tv then you ll know what i mean. Im so dissapointed with this kind of movie after paying RM85 for my family. Not to mention how they felt. Not recommended at all.

The plot was somewhat predictable, but it was still spooky and fun. And, the cast was great too. Worth a watch.

The best thing of the movie is its stunning aesthetic: the costumes, the colours, the locations... everything is just stunning. The figure of the Pontianak is also very interesting and has a lot of potential. Sadly, a lot of this gets wasted. The movie has a weird and inconsistent pacing and a lot of scenes feel like fillers. Some things in the script don't even make much sense. But overall I recommend it.

I had high expectations for an entertaining, possibly powerful retelling of this classic horror tale by Sifu Glen and Gavin (et al).

However, while I did not come away from the movie feeling that it was a failure , I felt disappointed at the movie's lack of oomph.

To me , it failed to conjure an atmosphere of eeriness and foreboding , and I thought its scenes and momentum lacked in the thrill and horror departments quite a bit .

The acting and script seemed adequate , and I especially enjoyed the artistry/cinematography of the scenes set in Kampong setting/reflecting lifestyle then.

I look forward to a future rendition that will also include that -all too classic , too good to be missed - comic relief scene - the Malay Satay man and his two (Chinese and Indian) friends /customers , all whom come face to face with and flee in terror from the Pontianak!

Good try please keep it up
