“This one is a crossover between u0026quot;White: The Melody of the Curseu0026quot; and u0026quot;The grudge: Old lady in whiteu0026quot;, borrowing many elements from both movies, a tad bit more from the second one.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIs it an effective Asian horror? Well, it has its moments, but overall, The Crone is a stupid movie. So many dumb scenes – eventually you lose interest. I had to find my inner strength, keep going and going, discover another long ending…and one that sucked too! Itu0026#39;s not something I would recommend, there are plenty of other good movies out there, you just need to know where to look I guess. So find someone who is familiar with the Asian Horror cinema, ask for a pointer, and enjoy something different. The Crone, believe it or not, will only be remembered for its dumb moments.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eQuite a shame, had some potential sure, but decided to act stupid and quite disgusting at times. If you do decide to adventure and take this one for a ride, please return with a post, get the facts straight. Others will need your feedback, as a warning is needed here, indeed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCheers!”
