“Ok. So, if youu0026#39;re in any way, easily disgusted and it usually sticks with you, do yourself a favor and donu0026#39;t watch this. Iu0026#39;m not easily disgusted, myself, but this was yeesh!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOn another note, I will never believe that a pair of urban dwellers, upon witnessing something frightening and unexplainable, would directly go to an unheard of rural place to seek answers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLIKE, WHAT?! 😂🤣u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSpeaking as a Southeast Asian living in a provincial city, practically all my life, I have been taught ever since I was little, to NEVER venture to rural areas. If need be always go WITH a trusted local.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd yet, this pair just hopped on a bus, to God knows where, hoping to find their fatheru0026#39;s estranged family.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI tell you, if your parent/s died without telling you any of it, itu0026#39;s best to let it go and let it be. Maybe that was their goal, to let it die with them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt isnu0026#39;t as scary as it is disturbing and disgusting. Cannibalism. Incest. Suicide. The gross factor is from start to finish but the interesting parts happen past midway.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFadi Alaydrus (Raka) fit the bill as the gorgeous but dull twin while Yasamin Jasem (Naya) nailed it as the responsible, intuitive and anxious twin. Sheu0026#39;s got good acting skills! Meanwhile, the horror movie industry could use some pointers from Alit Aryani Willems about how to really be creepy and frightening.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNo jumpscares.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNo loud noises.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNo freaky prosthetics or heavy makeup.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJust a person with barely contained malice in their eyes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTHAT is horrifying.”
