I just watched the Thai-horror film 9 Temples; and let me warn you, before you watch it... Don't watch it... It's not because it's frightening like the Shutter (2004), but because it's a total bore-fest accompanied with a bloated running time.
I don't feel like describing the movie here; this is due to the fact that I don't really get the main message of the film. Also, some of the scenes were often irrelevant to the film, and hence, they shouldn't be there.
My favourite horror film of all time is another Thai-horror film called the "Shutter" (2004). When you compare 9 Temples against the Shutter, 9 Temples is a total crap. It's nothing like the shutter. It's totally unrealistic and it's not down to earth, where we can relate the film into our normal lives.
The Shutter (2004) has everything a horror movie should have. The ghost, the suspense, the story, the plot, the music and of course the realistic factor. It's not another cheap horror film where it's more shocking instead of horrifying; the shutter is totally horrifying. I can't sleep for 3 days after watching the film.
Anyway, coming back to 9 Temples, I can't really see that it's a horror movie. There were too many "un-needed" clips in the movie, and they didn't relate to the story. It's definitely not horrifying. Trust me on this, it's more shocking than horrifying.
Basically, it's just an agonising experience sitting there watching another cheap-scare-horror film that cost $8. What a waste. Should have watch Twilight Eclipse instead.
