MCT:August 12, 2008Wow, people are frickin' crazy. And, sometimes, frickin' crazy people get what they deserve. Or, at least, what the ghosts of the young girls that they kidnap and murder after forcing the girls to "give themselves" to the couple's mentally retarded adult son, think they deserve.

Save for the weird off-hand scripting, some odd acting and predictable direction, this movie gave me the creeps.. possibly because I go out late on the 7th month all the time -_- Love the twist though. Completely unexpected.

MCT:February 9, 2008This movie is actually spooky! But what makes me like it even more is its potrayal of the culture and beliefs of the Chinese.

Excellent. The first half of it, it seemed a standard Asian scary movie and very predictable, but it had a twist towards the end I didn't see coming at all. Well worth a watch!

The Maid is about a girl who moves to a different country to be a housekeeper. During a festival celebrating the dead, the girl makes several mistakes and brings the dead back. She is terrorized by violent ghosts.
This was a good movie. The ghosts were very well done. It kind of reminded me of Sixth Sense or Ghost were the ghosts actually enter into people's lives. This is definitely one of the better Asian films I have seen lately. -

A poor girl becomes a maid for well to do family with a retarded son and a big secret. Supernatural murder mystery. The previous maid haunts the residence where the girl works, having been killed there by the owners because the retarded son raped her, she wanted to quit and his parents refused to let her out to tell anyone. The father wrapped her in red cloth and poured lighter fluid on her then set her aflame... hid her body for a long time in the house. The retarded son was upset about it since he did love the maid. So when the new maid discovered the body and the truth, she too becomes the next victim of the parents. They too won't let her go, they want her as a bride for their dead retarded son whose spirit still haunts the house and likes the new maid... Talk about history repeating itself.

Seen from the eyes of the Filipino maid hired by the family, strange things began to happen in the 7th lunar month--during hungry ghost festival. interesting as it portrays some of the taboos in the chinese culture... worth a watch :)

Movie was a little slow and had the same ol tricks to make a horror movie, but the ending made the movie likable.

MCT:June 24, 2007About a young woman named Rosa from the Philippines who travels to Singapore to work for a family there. It is the 7th month in the Chinese calendar which is the "hungry ghosts" month. In the Chinese belief, that is when spirits come and roam the earth seeking revenge. To appease them, fake paper money has to be burned, incence lit and offerings have to be made.
Rosa unknowingly makes some innocent mistakes which sets off the scary events to come....the house she works in has a dark secret.
Has some of the same old horror tricks but good to watch for new cultural experiences. -

Not a bad little spookfest. Lots of jumpy creepy little ghosts throughout. But it was the story that developed by the middle of the movie that held my attention. It has one of those never saw it coming endings. Must see for horror fans.

"During The Seventh Month... a dead man can marry a dead woman, but the woman must say yes." NOT creepy. A Singaporean SIXTH SENSE.

This made me jump more then I thought it would. Ghost creep me out for some reason, don't know why. Nicely done for a horror.
-
MCT:February 13, 2007A really bad movie. Scare factor is zero. The 1 star is for the quite unique ending. Pls don't make a sequel.
