    Awful and Stupid movie

    I've watched this movie in my country. It's uttermostly stupid movie. The story is bad, going on without reason. Some scene was copied from Ju-On. And the ghost capture by photo camera idea came from a game.

    There are some bad 3-D scenes but it's just a cheap and cannot-frighten-you 3-D.

    It's not worth watching. Try some movie else.

    I give this movie an F grade.

    PS. This is just my humble opinion. Thanks!

    Man, this movie is so bad. Well, i suspect that the intentions of the creators are not to make a classic, so let it be. The story has no sense and you must hate those screaming "characters". The horror scenes are laughable, including one (with no sense) "borrowed" from The Grudge. And what about the 3D?. Well, those funny glasses didn´t work for me. At the end of the movie, you will hate Polaroids, trust me.

    Complete waste of your time....believe me.

    I love the recent spate of Asian horror films that have been coming our way: Dark Water, Ringu, The Eye, Ju-on, etc. And I can honestly say that even most of the bad horror films I've seen had at least something in them that was worth watching, whether for scares or laughs. I have to say that this movie is a complete waste of time. I never got scared, laughed, or even said "Hmmm." As I watched the film end I realized that I was incredibly relieved that it was over, not because I was so scared, but because I was so bored! This thing went on and on and on...and I never ever cared about one of the characters. Oh, and don't forget the crummy 3D effects...really awful. I rarely say this about a movie, but this is one you can safely miss without any feelings of guilt.

    What the hell?

    Before I start this review, I must admit that when I saw this movie, it was the wee hours of the morning and I was slightly intoxicated. Maybe my judgment was a little off, but I doubt it.

    'The Park' is a silly 3D horror movie about a haunted amusement park, which just happened to be built on a cemetery. After several deaths at the park, it was closed down. 14 years later, a journalist investigating the park goes missing (naturally). His sister, Yen, is determined to find him, but their mother, a ghost hunter, believes him to be dead already. Regardless of her mother's professional advice, Yen sets out with a group of ghost fodder (her friends) in an attempt to find her brother.

    Where to begin with this film's faults? There are so many. For starters, the plot is a mess. Unoriginal and full of plot holes. There is nothing close to horror in this. Sure, there are ghosts and other such dead people, but no scares. The 3D effects on which the film was based weren't all that impressive - or even 3D - on the VCD I watched. The dialog (in subtitles) was rather bad. All the characters seem to have a problem in which they felt the need to state the obvious, with everyone saying several times "There are ghosts!". I think they got the point after that was said for the billionth time.

    I will give 'The Park' credit for two things though: More proof that clowns are evil, and the fact that we have very little (to no) character development. It's a great way to determine early on who will die, and who will survive.

    After thinking about it, this seemed like it was meant to be campy B-movie. The (very blatant) references to 'Mr Vampire' and 'Nightmare on Elm Street' prove that, but it still felt like the movie was taking itself too seriously. Sure, I laughed at some bad B-movie moments, but those few moments were surrounded by a whole lot of just plain bad material.

    1/10 - 'The Park' was very disappointing. Maybe I'll try watching it again sometime, but not any time soon.

    A couple of youths seek out a haunted theme park on the quest to search for one of the youth's missing brother ...

    On the surface , this appeared to be a cool movie , with the 3D effects and all but on the inside , it's all crap , just like what any sane movie goer would tell you . So , what do we have in The Park ? We have special effects , plenty of unnecessary noise , loads of screaming and shrieking , and a whole lot of you-run-and-the-devil-seek situations our gorgeous young characters are being trapped in . Everyone is just plain annoying and walking around looking for trouble , screaming their head off when something jumps out and shouts BOO ! . You don't flinch when you see the youths gets finished off one by one in the most gruesome fashion . They just deserved it , you will think , shaking your head and wondering why are you even watching this movie in the first place . There is no suspense , no shock , no violence , no sex and most importantly , NO Plot line ... can you believe this is exactly a product of one of HK most acclaim and well established director , Andrew Lau ,who is also the guy who brought you the highly rated and well received trilogy , Infernal Affairs I , II and III ? No , you can't and neither can I . The ending is predictable and cheesy , you know who dies and who doesn't . An attempt to give a surprise twist in the ending didn't help . It merely leaves more questions unanswered and made the whole show look even lamer than ever that they might as well do without it. Badly written piece of trash , a thumbs-down plus an F .I don't mean to be critical but it's really so lousily done that it's just overly worthy of criticism . Don't watch it , don't buy the vcd or DVD just because the word 3D caught your kid's attention ... U have been warned ... this might be proven a waste of good money ... go watch The Haunted Mansion starring Eddie Murphy instead , at least that one has got some humour in it to worth a few good laughs ... honestly speaking , The Park was a movie that started out with good intentions and a fresh concept but which turned out disasterously and became totally unwatchable when it loses hold of it's objectives ....
