Year: 2004
Plot: “Boom, pregnant from an affair, is told by her lover to leave him and his family alone. Enraged, she goes to a witch doctor and has him use black magic against her ex-lover and his family. They all die in suspicious manners. Just when Boom thinks everything is over, a woman claims her ex-lover’s inheritance and moves in to his house with her family. Not long after that, unexplainable things begin to happen to them.”
I put this one off for awhile, as I had seen it mentioned many times. I never seemed to have the urge to watch it, and now I understand why. I am not saying that this was a bad movie, but it wasn’t very great either. This one definitely didn’t really leave any lasting impression on me. It was decent for the time I was watching it, but not really to see again.
I have to say I didn’t like the way that this movie was told. Some movies it is okay to see out of order and actually enjoy it. This one was just irritating. It begins by showing the beginning of the end, then goes back and tells bit by bit with adding some bits of the end in as well. I might not have found anything wrong with this, if the rest of the movie was more entertaining.
I also didn’t like the fact that the end parts were black an white, they just looked kind of cheap. I don’t usually like to say stuff like that because many actually cheaply done movies look great. The black and white scenes though looked very cheap to me while I was watching the movie.
I do have to say that the scene with Neng in the hospital was rather gross. It was about the only scene that stuck with me. All of the other deaths were rather lackluster to me. The characters were also a little lackluster. Boom was the worst to me. The character just seemed a little flat. Nothing but the Neng scene shocked, surprised, or astounded me.
I would suggest to skip this movie if you are expecting something thrilling. It isn’t going to be much to watch, but it might be good if you have nothing else to do. Though I wouldn’t necessarily suggest watching this movie, it really isn’t horrible, just not good. Also the relatively poor quality of this movie isn't going to deter me from giving Art of the Devil 2 a shot sometime. n.n
