I spent my last weekend watching The Voice season 3 marathon. It was the only interesting program at that time. When it had commercial break, I came across to other channel and found all the movie channel showed horror and thriller movie. Then it hit me, Halloween is coming up, the end of October is approaching. Zombies are waking up. Well, for myself, Halloween has nothing to do with me. I do not celebrate it, not my tradition. So that I am not really excited. October 31st is just plain to me.
Nick is totally excited about Halloween. He welcomes it , he totally can not wait to celebrate it. For most of adult, who celebrate it, perceive Halloween party is quite a dull. What they feel for is not the essence of Halloween but the party instead. They only want to grab a drink and hang out with friends. They do not care about Halloween yet they do care about the party.
What do kids always say when the visited-house's door is opened by the host?. They will ask " Trick or treat?" as they (kids) offer candies. Then afterwards, the host will inquire about what they are supposed to be. The kids usually wear a zombie's costume and carry a basket filled by candies. Every home will be adorned by pumpkin called Jack-o-Lantern. Jack o lantern is the symbol of Halloween.
In Indonesia, it was not our tradition. We had not known Halloween, What it was all about-what the purpose was, until the western came up with the idea. Halloween went viral in Indonesia. It is not so bad anyway but it does not mean really something.
Well, writing about Halloween. I was triggered to find out more about Halloween. I am not writing about zombies though. I do not have courage, do not have a gut to discuss about it (I want to live peacefully). So fellas, just make this one fun. Let us discuss about thrilling or horror movie. it still has anything to do with a Hollow eve, doesn't it?
Last Saturday, I watched the Sixth sense, it is a good film, good story and good plot. Audience will be fooled by the story. The ending was out of my guess, just like The Others. The others and The sixth sense have things in common. However, the sixth sense was packaged by stronger story. These movies are different from other horror movie. They (other movies) just emphasize on how to surprise audience with a creepy sound and shocking movements but they do not care about story.
According to my opinion, Western-made horror movie is the best of the best. The effect, the story and the plot. Whereas Japan-made is the most frightening movie, Thailand-made as well. But the Japan and Thailand movie go very slowly, to much introduction. It turns to lullaby and makes us fall asleep. The worst horror movie ever made is Indonesian horror movie. They are totally and completely mess. Zero point for the story bring, zero point for the plot and another zero point for the effect. It is absolutely not recommended.
Well, I am not a big fan of horror movie so that I can not tell a lot about this genre. For me, this somewhat the must-avoid movie genre. I do not enjoy watching this, I rather watch movie with full of guns than full of ghosts. It has more adrenalin rush.
I would like to let you all know guys, when I wrote about the horror movie segment. I directly was remembered to the movie. It sent chill up my spine. I felt insecure right away.
