Coming Soon

We have movies about haunted wigs, shoes, video tapes, mirrors, websites and ring tones. So, i guess this one can be called as a haunted film.

Movie's basically about people started dying after watching a yet to be release (hence the title "Coming Soon") horror movie. Shen and Peod both works at a cinema. They both made a deal with the local DVD pirates, to cam the movie before it is released.

On the night of the job, Shen fell asleep in the projector room and Peod who's responsibility is to film the movie with a digital video camera went missing. No body, no blood. No nothing. Except for the video camera that is lying on the floor.

Upon replaying the video camera, Shen found clues as to what had happened to his friend. Then weird things start to happen to Shen.

Finally. Another movie from the makers of Shutter and Alone. Have been a fan of their works. But I am afraid this one, in my opinion, has fallen short.

The previous two has a more realistic feel to it. Plot is a mystery and slowly unfolds. Usually has a big reveal.

Coming Soon in the first half, follows the same formula, but the big reveal happens right in the middle. Then it starts to turn into the generic, demon/ghost/monster thingy stalks and hunts the main characters and they try to find a way to beat the big bad.

Still, it is still watchable. If you are expecting the same formula of their previous works, you might be disappointed. I gotta give them credit for having an original plot.
