An attempt to make a another zombie movie follow the great work of G.A. Romeo "dead films" but failed, here are the reasons: The idea of intelligence zombie (Max) and the built up story from there are quite hilarious, annoying, unbearable. The same feeling with (smart zombie dad) in 28 weeks later. Bad script with boring dialogue, empty characters and the copy of autocratic from the original film. The ending was pretty bad and they even trying to fool all the audience by the scene that the little girl and our Zoe ran toward base door full of zombie but nothing happen (fast forward to 1:14:30 and you will see). The film itself just not worth to get the title "Day of the dead"

First of all, The Void gave the audience a dark and thrilling ride by the out of the formula plot, astounding way to build-up tension and unveiled the truth. As a independent horror, The Void did it job by brought back the atmosphere of the iconic 80s horror with decent goods but, unfortunately it contains a few disappointments

The movie itself reminded me with Baskin ( a Turkish horror back to 2015 – which i also checked the trailer and to be filled with great excitement ), this movie is in that same expectation. To be honest, I don't like the way they used the clever-shots to ignore the must have/detail gore or bloody scene (pay attention you'll find its). Furthermore, the ending obviously placed more questions to the story line in the end, which is the time all the mysteries and unanswered questions have to be explained: The " silent boy " just craw out of that underground killing floor in somehow and stacked the monster behind ??? The remaining members of the cult only show up two for scarification, then leave without reason in the end ???

Okay! Open ending, fair acting, creepy moments and mysterious cult but the movie carried some holes in the story- telling and failed to deliver the unique idea to all the highly- expect horror lovers.

So I guess my review is the 2nd Vietnamese review on here so far. Yes! It's my country-Vietnam which on-screen in 70% of the film duration with the magnificent view from Ha Long bay, Ninh Binh & Quang Binh. During the 1 month countdown to the premiere, the present and advertising hit the mass media in my country so hard that almost everyday. I actually pay attention to this movie about 2 years ago when it only a 2017 title on IMDb , before the whole Hollywood crews start filming The movie take the audience back to the 1973 in the withdraw of US Army from the Vietnam war. The start look promising, the battle between the Sky Devils fleet and Kong definitely get you edge of your seat( strongly recommend the Dolby Atmos sound and 2D only for better experience-just my opinion). The film then catch-up with gripping, fast-paced and appear to be little low on plot. The iconic Kong of all time now is the king of skull island and look great than ever. The giant buffalo and the view of endless field, the village & the splendid beauty of Ha Long gain my respect more than ever. The fight in the dead valley is quite cinematic and heroic with Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson came to the crash-site with full of revenge and would do anything just to take out Kong. I understand the whole fleet lost put him to this point but really deep in his mind is a soldier cant leave the war. There many funny dialogue between Marlow & Brooks, Mills and Cole (the impressive one with the AK47) which made the audience laughing over and over. The final fight is so impressive and full of tension, Kong vs the big one Skull Crawler. Kong Skull Island is a highly recommend movie for everyone with just some negative argument for the plot and the character development. On the other hand the movie is great, well direct by Jordan Vogt- Roberts with the A-line cast, outstanding graphics, awesome Kong and open up the Monster universe in the after credit. The director announce with the public to came living in Ho Chi Minh city because he love Vietnam and want to make more great movies here-that gains another respect from me. In the end, the movie will bring all the goods, beauty of Vietnam nature to the world.
