James Lee - Histeria

7:30 pm @ Sunway Pyramid TGV - Finally made the step to watch Histeria by James Lee. been talking bout wanting to watch since... since... last year... lol... and to the same person.. hahaha... anyways, I went with Ummi, someone from my hometown who is studying here in KL. lol... she has her hands on her face the whole time throughout the whole film... :P anyways, its not as horrific as it looks as you don't get to see the ghost clearly... its in the dark most of the time..

I think I disagree with a lot of other Malaysians as to say the film was bad... I think its not too bad.. something different from what we used to have.. the shooting sequence, art direction and the camera angle is really lovely.. but the lighting is pretty bad so in my opinion.. but im sure James Lee has his reasons to have it that way... the actors were badly lit in my opinion... i mean, i understand that its a horror film.. but doesn't necessary have to be dark everywhere... :P I love it when he kept on to the rules of 3rd in most of the scenes.. and please.. be more open.. even if there is a homosexual scene.. why the big hoo haa?... its not like we are not seeing it in our everyday life here in Malaysia... lol

overall, I think its something new for the eyes of Malaysia... come on people.. support local industry...

But finally they found out the actual truth and they were punished to clean the college premises for a week during their semester break. They were placed in a dorm which seemed very unplesant. A new student wanted to join the group but before she would be accepted they had to test her so, they thought up of this test that she had to sleep in a lab which is said to be haunted while the other 7 students try to scare her.
