Movie Review: Heirloom

Hmm, the movie is not scary... Which is like HENG ARH!!! Lol...

But i am still affected though... Not becoz its horror or wat, its becoz of the plot... I actually cried... Lol... Think ppl will laugh at me...

The story has a very tragical ending, and there were alot of ppl who suffered... And of coz, some innocent lives taken... Its very sad and emotional especially to the end when the whole plot reviews itself...

But of coz, not knowing wat to expect initially, u scare urself more, but at the end of the day, there were no images of ghosts at all... In fact, the humans imagery were more scary... Coz they made u think tat they are the ghosts...

It toks about keeping and controlling child spirit by feeding blood to it foetus corpse... The idea is rather creepy, as i had known several frenz who kept them (in e past, ive not in contact wif them for yrs)... Who had to rush home periodically to feed their blood... And they had to place toys at home as well, for the xiao gui to play... Which of coz, u can hear them playing at night...

Anyways, keeping them in return gives u fortune... And some are so powerful that you can use them to kill ur rivals, competitors, or enemies...

But dun ask me wat my frenz kept them for, i dun wanna tok about it... Coz its evil, to me...

Im not going to explain e plot to prevent spoilers...

But wat surprises me about e show is tt, i was quite impressed by the quality they put up as a Taiwan movie... I thot Taiwan films are generally sloppy and besides, only Eng Wah is showing tis film, so i thot it would be crap...

But it proved me wrong... E film quality was gd, shots were artistic enuff, characters are natural and they do not speak wif fake chinese accent... Best of all, the story actually managed to move n affect me... And tts more than i had expected...

Overall rating 3 STARS
