Stayed up late last night to watch R-Point on RED, a Korean movie about a military patrol tasked to locate a missing unit of soldiers. This is an unusual ghost story with a cleverly-written script. I just wished it were shot more sensitively and with a finer ensemble. The movie has many creepy scenes, and to think that I am not at all creeped by horror movies!

This was followed by Angker (Haunted), an Indonesian movie about a mother and her children who move into a house formerly owned by the village witch. Very credibly acted by the female lead, and the audience is never shown anything more than necessary. The movie held my attention despite the deliberately slow pacing and that everyone spoke in hushed whispers--or maybe because of them. Love that long ritual conducted by a local medium!

Angker reminded me so much of the story of Aling Bucia of Siquijor. Her story can be Google-searched.
