So, after checking the location and the time, we finally decided on PS GV, to watch The Cave on 2pm and The Maid on 4.35pm. Since The Maid was a local film, and quite abit of people said that it was really a horror film and was quite nice, i've been looking forward to it all these while, scared that no cinema will be showing it after i pop, haha.
Like wat some people said about The Cave, the plot is always the same, human goes inside cave, parasite (not virus zombie blah blah) creatures infest human, human becomes creatures bearing parasite and this goes on and on. And it never did explain wat happened to the initial explorers, were they eaten up or converted to beasts? If converted to beasts, wat made them? Parasite? Wat parasite and how? Beast? But beasts killed them for food, cant believe anything left for mutation! Even the ending is absurb, three person got out of the cave alive. But, one thing that was very strange, was that they went all the way miles under the ground, why would an underwater passageway lead them to a river above ground? Remember, it was already MILES UNDERGROUND!!! Wat's more? The beasts can move underwater, so, why didnt they move out of the cave themselves? Simply one thing to put is, the story plotter just didnt really think it thorough and far and hastily came up with a stupid film. Only and i do mean only thing that was good about the film, was to finally see how the beasts look (LOL), and all the actions, well, also thinking of who would be the next to die, how and when.
The Maid... i thought, well, Joey too, didnt really expect the cinema would be so packed, since it was an old film(14th Aug) and it was only a Friday... sigh... the story plot is very simple, yet from some point of view, quite stupid. About the horror parts, well... they are HORRIBLE, you can say they are scary, only because they were all the same, sudden image and sudden outbreak of sound, and on a second thoughts, anyone would think of "why the hell is this happening here, wat the heck it gotta do with the movie and its plot?". Was this show about "a maid" or was it about the "chinese seventh month-hungry ghost festivals"? I or maybe WE will never know, we are not the story writer, we dont know wat he was thinking of, but we will forgive him only because it was his first attempt at horror film. Like i said, the plot is very simple, about an idiotic son(cant find any other description xD), whom their parents thought was like a child never could grow up(which was wrong cos he did grow up, physically definitely, maybe abit 單純, 幼稚 or simply moronic but definitely has abit of adult mentality there), raping his maid, who had been in good/close relation with him(sister to brother kind only). The maid tried to report to police, the parents because of deep love and care for him, tried to dissuade her, which fails and in turn leads to the father tieing up and burning the poor maid alive. The moron son commited suicide because of this and only to return one day to his parents during the Hungry Ghost Festival, trying to find his bride(ahem, the maid...). Then the parent found a new maid to work(which they chose specially, looking abit like the old one). Initially, we thought nothing of them until the whole thing came to truth, actually they wanted the new maid to consent to marriage with the son, before killing her, so that the son could finally be married even if dead. Well, somehow at the very crucial moment, the son suddenly remembered that the maid he liked was dead already, killed by his father, he screamed and shouted, trying to prevent another wrong doing. Well, ironically, he pushed his father and he burnt his father this time round. The mother wouldnt give up, maybe it was the old maid, Esther looking after Rosa(new maid), the mother was ran over by a truck, =x And the ending was clear, Rosa took Esther ashes back to The Phillipines and thats all for today. Maybe it was with too much an expectation that came along with great disappointment.
And first time in 3 months, i took the North-East line back home, buying myself a sumptuous dinner of Burger King, lamb burger, yum yum. So-so shows for the day and great meals for the night, time to sleep~~
