Scenes that were supposed to be scary were just funny.
The story was quite passable and scary, but the execution was not. For me, the movie would have turned out better if they had decided to focus on only one side - horror or romance. Romance was rushed, hate miraculously turned to love. The horror elements were weak, although very well done graphically. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the creators of the movie failed to create a horror atmosphere.The acting was quite weak, in some passages the actors exaggerated too much. I like this couple, but this was definitely not their best work.

SO GOOD! But there were some parts that were a bit ....eh
Its story was confusing at the beginning but soon after I slowly started to get the story and it's pretty good and more understanding throughout watching. The acting was really good and to be honest I got so scared a bunch of times haha. I screamed a few times but not a lot, it was more about romance than horror, to be honest. If they added more scary parts it would've been better to be honest. The music is so beautiful and calming haha but it made me wanna cry because it sounds sad. Speaking of crying I almost cried twice while watching it. Rewatch is definitely. I would definitely watch it again but not everyday but like on Halloween or something lol. Really good though I recommend watching it it's so entertaining but of course not everyone has the same opinion about it but, you know what I mean.Was this review helpful to you?
Idk
Even though the duration of this movie is only about 100 minutes they tried to cover each and every aspect. If only they could have increased the runtime and showed us some character development, then it would have felt way more content while watching the movie.Even though the story is something common - Arranged marriage to drive away misfortune, leads already met when they are kids, and the horror part is also something kind of similar plot which we are already familiar with(I don't want to spoil it). Everything was extremely supernatural and way beyond science(Well what else can we expect when the story was set in 1960s hahaha). Like I said they could have made the whole plot in a more detailed manner(Not saying it is not detailed enough LOL).
Acting wise, the actors did a really good job. The music is also pleasing and suited the movie and the situation really well. Like we already know NuNew is a great singer right!! My only complaints are regarding the story elaboration, other than that it's a good movie.
[Ahem...the headline is a hint regarding climax]
P.S. - I have not read the novel. But the movie's a solid one time watch. Go Watch it!!

I enjoyed watching Zee/Nuew
After reading so many negative reviews I decided to watch it on YTube and it was over 2 hours long 💕 I love these two together after seeing them in awesome Cutie Pie. I thoroughly enjoyed this and with a bit of horror thrown in, it was a fun watch. Zee is such a good actor, so expressive with his eyes, wonderful and cute Nunez has grown so much in acting and his singing is as good as ever. Anytime these two are together it is a treat so thank you to all involved and can’t wait for the Last Prince. Watch it and judge for yourself!!Was this review helpful to you?
Very cute romantic movie, not scary
I really liked it! But if you're expecting a real horror movie, of course you'll be dissapointed...This is a cute BL movie with a ghost and some thrilling moments. That's it :) Acknowledging that, it's good enough!
I especially loved the romantic scenes ♥ Zee is a good actor and has great chemistry with NuNew.
Their lovestory was really nice and the piano music made it feel very romantic! Good choice of soundtrack.
The story of the ghost was less interesting... But I know enough about ghosts that sometimes it IS best to talk it out.
I'm happy it was similar to Cutiepie and to see these in another story together. I fell all kinds of emotions watching this!
I would watch it again, but the uncut version. If you guys wanna watch an actual horror movie, I suggest not watching this lol.

It has nothing to do with horror movies
The movie is categorized as horror and romance, but why didn't I feel like I was watching a horror movie? There are so many mistakes in terms of the story and events. How can it be classified as horror when it only contains a few horror scenes? Why is it classified as a horror movie? Let me choose a sentence that fits the word horror in the movie. Do they mean by horror that the grandson of the family will be cursed because of what happened in the past because of his family? I'm sorry to say this, but the movie doesn't deserve to be classified as horror. Choosing the romance category is a good choice, perhaps because of the relationship between the two leads, but I'm sure the director had no idea about horror or how to make a horror movie. If there is anything worth evaluating this movie, it would be the choice of actors, cinematography, and the flow of events while watching it because you won't get bored, but in terms of directing, it doesn't deserve any evaluation due to the weak productionWas this review helpful to you?
Good movie.
I think i've watched a extended version. I see a lot of comments that is is only around 100 minutes and the version i watched on youtube was 132 minutes.I liked it, but for me they could have made the movie even longer to give it a bit more depth. Some parts of the storyline felt a bit rushed, like one moment he didn't like him and the next he was head over heels in love..
As always ZeeNunew don't dissapoint, the acting was overall good from all the actors.

The reason for all of this was so stupid.
The dynamic of Rawi and Phloeng is very reminiscent of the characters they played in Cutie Pie. Almost Scarily similar actually.I wish we could see them both in different roles that aren't the exact same thing. NuNew and Zee are both so talented and their chemistry together is crazy, yet this movie did nothing to showcase any of that.
The plot isn’t that hard to follow, but I feel like they’re trying to lean into this horror/mystery aspect and it’s not working very well in my opinion. Although I will admit the “ghost lady” we keep seeing is very creepy looking.
I'm sorry but all of this.. everything that happened was because of a woman who was obsessed.. That's the reason you're giving me? Seriously?

Movie missed the mark on many aspects, but still a good watch.
I read the description of the movie and thought this could be good, thinking it would be a thriller kind of movie and it got better when I saw that Zee and NuNew are in it, so what can go wrong, boy was I wrong.I won’t just be assuming things are going to be something just by reading the description anymore without looking at the tags, so I guess that’s what I get for not reading the tags they have for this and thinking it’s going to be a thriller but whatever, I still thought it would be good, but even that thought fell short as I was watching it.
Story:
I liked the idea of the story, that’s what made me want to watch it, plus the hotties I would get to see. 😊 Anyway… I just wish the story didn’t fall short of what it could have been… It’s like they tried to make a short movie into a long movie without making it long, but not actually doing it. They needed to made the movie longer so that it would allow for a more substantial background story and character development.
It all happened in a blind of an eye it seems like, so they really needed to make this longer, or made a series so more could have been done, shown an told. I had questions (well mostly just one) why I was watching this, The main one got answer at the end of the movie, but a few of them wasn’t… so if it was longer then they could have answer them plus more.
Music:
I liked the music thru out the movie, I though it was pleasing and suited the movie and the situations well.
Acting:
It’s Zee and NuNew what more can I say? They others were good as well. Lol
Overall:
I did like the movie, it is good enough to watch once, though I wouldn’t say it’s something you would want to re-watch much, if at all (well for the story that is, but to see the hotties yea I can see that). ;D

The story and the acting were superb ...
I was very anxious to watch this movie because it had two of my favorite BL actors, but also because it was widely anticipated. It took awhile to find online but someone finally posted a link on Google Drive.First off, Zee and Nunew were perfect in their parts. They fell into the characters and you truly believed that they were those people. Nu's acting when possessed by Kannika was amazing. He looked possessed when seeing his facial expressions and sporadic movement which were so good. Zee's arrogant behavior at the beginning fit the idea of the spoilt rich guy that felt he was entitled. Nu's comments about changing his mind and agreeing to the bond was so funny. Watching the two of them fall in love and begin to trust each other was beautiful. You could see the process of Zee falling for Nu as the movie went forward.
The secondary characters were also very good. Anyarin Terathananpa as Kannika was really good. The scenes where she was terrorizing Nu was very scary. The parents and grandfather of Zee were actors that I had seen before and they were once again marvelous.
I highly recommend this movie to everyone. The storyline, the acting, OST, and Special Effects were top notch.

After Sundown — When Chemistry and Horror Both Fail to Appear
I wanted to love this movie. On paper, it had everything: BL leads who are a real-life couple, a supernatural revenge story, and gothic romance. And yet… none of it truly worked.Where the Emotion Was Supposed to Be
When you cast two actors who are a real couple, you naturally expect intensity, tension, vulnerability, something real. But here, I felt nothing. Even after the characters become physically intimate, there is no emotional shift. No sense that something has changed between them. They remain distant, as if the connection exists only because the script says so. Love is never shown. Only implied.
A Horror Story Without Fear
The ghost’s story should have been tragic and terrifying: a woman betrayed, trapped in the past, seeking revenge in a world that mirrors her suffering. But the film never commits to its own darkness. The ghost is not frightening. The revenge lacks urgency. The mythology is barely explored. So many powerful directions were possible: a parallel woman living the same fate, a reincarnation cycle, a generational curse, but none of them are fully developed.
Too Much Focus, Not Enough Story
The film centers so heavily on the two male leads that it forgets to build the world around them. The supernatural plot becomes background noise instead of the driving force. This is not balance. It is neglect.
Final Thought
After Sundown is not terrible. But it is a story that promises much more than it delivers. I rarely rate BL projects this low, which shows how much I expected from this film. I truly hope the production team learns from this and brings more depth, emotion, and ambition to their next project.

well
I guess maybe I'm just sick of Zee/New together. I'd love to see them paired with someone else for a change. I'm finding the things they are in together now a little dull and unexciting. The story of this was ok just ok but I think it would've been better if Zee was paired with another actor. This isn't something that I'd watch again.Was this review helpful to you?
