All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Haunted Changi (2010)

Director: Andrew Lau

Premise:
A group of young filmmakers decide to make a documentary on Old Changi Hospital, said to be one of the most haunted places on Earth. Soon the crew get more than they bargained for.

My Take:
The movie combines nice documentary style facts about this true hospital with a good fiction story. The setting is generally creepy. Many of the scares are subtle, which adds to the tension.
It's a solid outing which doesn't try to reinvent the wheel when it comes to the subgenre.

Rating: In the middle (with some upside)
