When Things Are Forgotten...

I used to be really daring when it comes to horror movies, stories and all that when i was much younger. During my early teens that is. I realized that as i grow older.. i became more of a "scaredy-cat". Maybe, when someone actually grows, becomes more mature, learn & know more things in life, we tend to be more cautious of things.. like what is called dangerous? What will cause death? And if i really die.. What is gonna happen to my dreams (things i wanna do) the people i love will be left behind in grieve.. and so on the (sappy cheesy thoughts.. yea, that sorta silly things..) so all these actually influences and made what i am today.. no more the silly girl in the family who's the only one who enjoys horror flicks, reads R.L Stine, Goosebumps & all dat silly supposingly teen's scary stuff. When my whole family actually hates it. My dad doesn't believe in the thrill and fun of it. He thinks it's stupid to pay and do something that u know will end up scaring the shit out of yourself. It's like.. why not do something to make yourself happy instead? Like rather go for comedies than to scare YOURSELF of all things??!!So that's my parents. And my bro... (BAH) he's just worse than a chicken in a turtle shell okay? Don't even bother asking.

But i'm just not how i used to be anymore. I still find them fascinating yes i do. But... I don't know really. Like i've mentioned.. I know and understand more things now.. and further more.. about the supernatural.. I'm just to "sensitive" to be exposed to so much really. As in.. They.. LIKE me.. (you know?) yea.. So.. because of that.. i don't really fancy and hv the urge to go crazy over horror movies or even read them anymore. But once in a while.. yea.. i still wanna try it out.. Curios ya know? (curiosity really kills me i tell u). I'll never forget how this particular horror movie actually had the strongest effect on me. It gave me nightmares and lingered in my head for almost 2 months. yea. that bad. I couldn't sleep. It was "The Eye". It was good i must say. But freakin scarily good. Honestly.. i think recent horror movies sucks. Especially the Jap & the Korean ones.. They became a steroe-type already. And it's starting to get stupid. So that adds on to the low interest to such movies.















Until i saw this particular poster that just caught my attention and struck me. (I wasn't sure and didn't know that it's actually a horror movie and further more.. did not know that it's from the Pang Brothers too.. but the image really did catch my attention somehow...strange.) I just told myself "I gotta watch this". (that time, i didn't even know what the story was.)

But I really like the storyline of the horror movies by Pang Brothers so far. Mostly are scary and yet.. has a beautiful (okay maybe not-so beautiful la~)/meaningful story behind it. Somehow.. this movie's write-out says that it's suppose to be really scary. (even Claire said so.) but it didn't really turn out to how i expected it to be.. eventhough i'm not that daring anymore like i said.. but nevertherless, the story is great. Atleast.. it's very much my-kinda-story..~ Seriously. I just LOVE the idea behind it. Not all scary enough. Only a lil at the beginning. But great story-line. (made me T.T T.T T.T)

Reminds me... Of how easily things can be simply forgotten?
The things around us.. Deserves more attention and appreciation. Before it's too late.
You wouldn't wanna think about how would they turn out to be when they are neglected and abandoned and piled up together in an abandoned wrecked up place itself. It's just FREAKY.

Synopsis = There is an alternate plane of reality parallel to our own, one that serves as a dumping ground for discarded and forgotten hopes, dreams, and desires. As those dreams are discarded they are caught...

It's just so sad. When you've actually created something out of nothing.. whether it is really something, a dream, or even a thought but u never took actions on it and done nothing.. simply.. abandoned. They will all end up in one place. Like that. They will all be compiled and gathered there. (and then try to remember how would those things turn out to be?)

* A must watch. Even for someone like me.. (who doesn't fancy horror movies anymore, doesn't believe in Hong Kong, Chinese movies [especially watching in Cinema of all places. waste of money]) I think the story really deserves the attention.

Creepy. Disturbing. Touching. Meaningful. Simply Twisted. (even the ending.. -_-" a lil' too twisted there la~ and confession = some parts are a lil out wan >< .. as in.. spoil the entire movie a lil.. but then again.. ><)

*Heh. For someone who plans to watch it and havent done so yet, and is reading this might hate me for spilling so many beans.. XP sorry.. i can't keep my stupid lips sealed. XP

Nice watch. "My-kinda-movie" XD XD XD
Loved it.
