ALONE



It’S a cool Saturday morning, Benz still sleeping soundly, Ben my hubby is off to work, Mom too. Perfect !!! This is the moment I have been waiting for to enjoy a horror movie ! 

My baby brother randy lent me a 24 in 1 DVD of Asian Horror Movies, Asian meaning horror flicks from Japan, Korea, Thailand and the likes. I steadily chose the 1st movie on the disc,ALONE. Without knowing what it’s all about, I bravely embark on my horror indulging morning. 

It’s been years since I had a chance like this, remember RING ? Or THE GRUDGE ? I never saw those movies, ok ok I admit, I didn’t have the nerve to watch them LOL. Up to present time 2013 that those movies are already considered ancient, I still haven’t seen them. I saw the American version of The Ring once or twice as it was aired over cable tv, it was creepy.

On occasions, while am waiting for my daughter Benz to get off from school, I would enjoy an occasional YOU TUBE moment of checking out what’s the latest horror movies to see. It would usually be “what’s the Top 10 best horror movies”. Once, I chanced upon a list of horror short stories titled 13 Asian Horror Stories some of them were goose bumps eerie, while others were spine-chilling scary, I remember the one that got me the most was a short story of somebody knocking & knocking on the front door, the figure was a woman bathed in blood. What really crept me out was when the young girl saw her thru the glass window ON TOP of the door !

Gave me nightmares ! It was disturbing ! Hence the reason why I don’t watch horror movies. But don’t get me wrong, I had my fair share when I was younger, all Nightmare on elm st, Friday the 13 th, Psycho stuff. I stopped when I got married, 17 years ago. My husband is the 3rd eye type, not the Bruce Willis 6 sense movie “I see dead people” but more of a lots of experience with the supernatural stuff type. We live in their ancestral home that used to be near mango orchards & rice fields, but that my friend is for another day to tell stories about :)



Back to ALONE, the dialogue was Thai, the subtitle sucks so I have to make do with simple common sense regarding the conversations. Hey, 1st movie after ages, I’m Excited !

The story is about conjoined twins separated due to the untimely death of one of them. Many years later the surviving twin comes home cause their mother is dying. They are well off, so SHE had a good life, she’s beautiful, talented, smart & has a very loving fiancée. But then their arrival to their childhood home brought GHOSTS, her twin is haunting her, she wants REVENGE ! The story is simple yet it was exciting all thru out. I didn’t guess the ending. Special effects were few. All in all ALONE was a good horror movie, nothing gory, no monsters. So for all of you starting up on horror movies, this is a good watch. Let’s just level up to more terrifying watch along the way :)
