There are some flames where the smoke is........

Let's be honest. This was hyped up well before release because of KHY still riding high from Lovely Runner. The same thing was done for Tale of the No Tailed and the results are kind of in the same vicinity.........but........and let me be clear, this was NOT the dumpster fire that drama was~
Gone was the lack of chemistry, very poor acting, and the interest in viewing the next episode. We got to see a KHY minus the machine gun speech that her fans consider a major part of her *charm* in addition to her beauty. I'm am NOT her fan but I felt the serious and realistic and fearful KHY who took time to think about decisions and whatnot was pretty good to take in. With no bs love story anywhere to be found, she and the cast fed off each others performances in most of the scenes rather well and I liked it~
A nice freaky little soundtrack with well placed CGI and great makeup for the *monsters* and that's where my praise stops. The story hits you, or doesn't hit you you could say, with disjointed scenes and explanations that made no sense, it was very difficult to follow but the ending was predictable because illusions played heavily into horror factor of the film. There's potential for another film but if it's going to be successful, it really needs to go lore heavy to have a better impact~
The film is ok, the visuals and sounds make it worth seeing via a theatre. If the story had been cleaned up some, I think it could easily have been a 9/10~
