The Fabric (2022)

When Bollywood "I Dream of Jeannie" & Comedic Slenderman Have a Kid.

This was not a good movie. The screenplay most likely came from a middle or high school student and production just added special effects. Only reason I watched was for Yin and War. Literally looked and felt as if a Bollywood version of "I Dream of Jeannie" and a Comedic Slenderman had a kid.

Pros: War's acting was heads above everyone else. He was able to portray many different aspects as two separate characters; it was great to see him and the FL as they understood who the other was and in their last seconds together, you felt their love for each other on screen. You hoped that somehow someday, their reincarnated selves would be able to reunite and be together. Though Yin appeared as 3 different characters (friend in the ghost hunting crew that wore a getup like he was entering into a radioactive facility, the prince in a past life, and a random guy wanting his picture taken in the last 5 minutes of the film), his roles felt more like support then main and he also had less time on screen. The costumes from the past life were beautiful and colorful and some of the comedy hit the mark in a silly way.

Cons: Sloppy script, obviously low budget. It was supposed to be a comedic murder-mystery from ancient times with reincarnation and whatnot but it had a lot of extra and unnecessary characters as well as a plot that ran amok. You had no idea how the characters got where they got to, how they knew where to go. Where did the forest evil place come from? Where did the light source with which they remembered their past lives come from and what triggered it? There was no explanation, just buckle your seatbelt and enjoy the ride until the end; maybe you'll understand something and maybe you won't. But hey mystery solved and everyone has amnesia for a bit or partial. The forced comedy was too much, the fact that one of the characters ate a puppy in her past life was beyond gross and unnecessary and even that didn't make sense as the cabin she was floating in had no cooking equipment; one moment cute puppy on the floor, next moment chunks of seasoned and stir-fried meat in a bowl. Just what?!?

Would I recommend it? Honestly, if you have a way of watching for free, then only if you are a fan of Yin and/or War or the FL. Otherwise, please don't waste money on it. I'm looking forward to better projects for these kids, though I do understand you have to start somewhere.

Hilarious movie with YinWar; its not supposed to be serious

Okay, lets get a lot of peoples question out of the way first. Is this a BL considering it has Yin and War in it?? The answer is no, its not a BL at all. It does star both actors together but there is no romance between them.

Now that that's out of the way we can talk about this underrated comedy. This movie is one of the funniest I have seen in a while, especially when you go into it knowing what type of comedy it is. Everyones comedic timing was on point, and to be honest I think some of the scenes were adlibbed because if you look closely at some of the actors in the background of some scenes, you can catch them holding back a laugh. Honestly I love that!

This movie was not supposed to be taken seriously! Its a slapstick comedy and if you like movies like the comedy "Scary Movie" then this is along that line. The CGI isn't great in some places but I personally was able to overlook that because the storyline felt pretty unique.

The story follows a group of boys (led by War) who are looking to catch a ghost on camera to skyrocket their youtube careers. however, while looking for their big money making shot, Achi (War) accidently brings forth a spirit that needs to find her murderer 1000 years ago. Forcing the boys to help by putting a 3 day curse on Achi life, they traveling around Thailand to find the answers and save his life.

I personally thought everyone's acting was great considering what they were supposed to be acting like and we do get some emotional moments from War, which he always does so well.

***TRIGGER WARNING: for my fellow emetophobes out there!!! There is a scene where Yin will vomit and it is visible clearly!! Its coming when Yin is talking to his mom after he starts to loose his mind (you'll know what that means). They will also show it again around the 1 hour 7 minute mark.***

Overall, I think this movie was exactly what it was supposed to be. A ridiculous comedy. If you love Yin and War for their funny personalities then you will love this too.
