Viewing Notes

Adding as a placeholder for now until I can revisit the movie. The (bootleg) Malay dvd that my library had crapped out around the 53 minute mark. It was authored poorly and just wouldn’t play beyond that point, which really sucks.

As for the movie, it’s an homage to LOST or perhaps just a remake of LOST. It was a 6 episode television show that was cut into a movie. Definitely get that tv episodic vibe. Watched the trailer so already have an idea of how it plays out but will definitely track down a better version later. I love Shu Qi and that she continues to star in genre projects like this one.
