This Singaporean horror has a concept and simply doesn't make best use of it. The movie starts strong but quickly stumbles into mediocrity.
It tells a story set on a military base about a group of young recruits and the supernatural events that transpire on and around the base.
It looks fantastic, considerably better than I would have expected and the writing is well above par as well. Sadly though it manages to be creepy in places the story is a bit of an incoherent mess and by around the half way mark it quickly becomes apparent that it isn't going anywhere good.
The ideas behind it though solid were clearly in the wrong peoples hands and instead of potential being met we have this messy little feature.
Watchable but ultimately fails on most fronts.
The Good:
Couple of nice ideas
Production values
The Bad:
Plot falls apart badly
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
It's not just Japan that likes their muddled inconclusive plots
