Where got ghost?


Went to watch this movie at BBK Jusco yesterday with my old classmate Yeat Yee. Kinda interested because this is a Hor-medy (Horror+Comedy). I have always been a fan of horror and comedies, but this 2 genres just doesn't seem possible to be able to be combined right? Then again, Jack Neo once again showed us that nothing is impossible.

We were late for the movie. It should have started at around 2pm after those ads, but we only entered the cinema at around 2:15pm, so I missed a little of the front part.

Anyway, not gonna be a spoiler here as I know there are people who haven't watched it yet. But basically, it's made up of 3 short stories lar, as you can see from the above movie poster. Since it's rated 'U', means I don't expect it to be much scarier than previous horror movies that I've watched. Instead I'm more interested in the way the 2 genres were combined, and of course, the usual funny Hokkien dialogues in typical Jack Neo films.

1st part is called 'Roadside got ghost'. I missed the first few minutes of this part, but still managed to catch up with the story lar. Hehe. Well... I think the moral of this story is that we should not gamble (Singapore's casino will be opened by the end of the year). Hmm... Feel a bit -_-" right? The funny part about this story is basically the dialogues from that 'limpeh limpeh' (also seen in 'I Not Stupid') guy, but he's dead in the end. xD

2nd part is called 'Jungle got ghost'. And this is for me the funniest story among the three. Don't play play in jungles tau? Hati-hati nampak hantu... In certain parts its kinda scary, the way ghosts pops out and whatsoever. But despite being scary, still the dialogues and interactions between the actors are presented in a comical way.

3rd part, and for me the best story, is called 'House got ghost'. Maybe because it has a sense of familiarity. It's like a continuation of 'Money No Enough 2', with the same actors. The mother's trademark 'jia pa be?' is back to haunt them. The end is quite touching actually. It shows that a mother's love is the greatest love of all. Maybe Jack leave the best for last? Lolz.

Nice film overall. But like all horror films, and like what I say from time to time, it's the sound effect that creates the 'scaryness'. For instance, there is a scene where Mother appears at the side of Ah Ong's bed asking him where's her mickey mouse bra (LOL), thanks to the sound effect, it's scary here. But let's not forget, the exact same scene appeared in Money No Enough 2, and it isn't scary at all at that time. xD (Note: In fact, throughout the movie, more often I was frightened by the screams from the group of people sitting few rows behind me, and not the movie scene itself -.-")

Okay lar... It's a film worth watching. So go watch!!!

Hey... Isn't that Ah Keong (Jack Neo) should pay me for promoting his movie? O_o
