i'm not usually a big fan of Malay movies and have only watched a handful, but out of the handful that i've watched, Buli Balik is one of the nicest. the whole Sape Kalah Kena Current thing was genius. Adibah Noor rocks la.

sure, the dubbing's super bad (when is it not?) and the wigs are somewhat disturbing (why must they even wear wigs?), but i suppose that just added to the niceness and authenticity of the movie. the acting wasn't awful and the characters were very likable (even the original bully, hans isaac, was love-able)(it helps, i suppose, that he's also easy on the eyes).

all in all, good stuff! afdlin shauki rocks.

you ask for A, they tell you all about A...

as well as B, C, D, E, F, G and H.

i mean, seriously. they simply TALK TOO MUCH. hello? this is a supposed horror movie. Horror movies should have less talking and more horror. i mean, really. there are only about uh 3 horror scenes. and okay, the kid was frigging freaky. yeah yeah big deal. one freaky kid isn't enough to make the whole movie horrifying. the scary elements simply weren't there.

if you love hearing people giving bloody cryptic messages and hardly any dying or demons or horror, watch this movie.

in other words, it was sucky.

well. that was just... boring.

the movie is 1) predictable and 2) not scary, and therefore 3) boring. i mean, seriously. it's called 'Boogeyman', but where was the Boogeyman himself? all we get to see is emotional and trauma Timmy, all confused and scared.

they should have called it 'Trauma Timmy'.

also, the whole childhood sweetheart thing is too cheesy. i mean, come on. also, the surprise elements would only work if you have your ears pressed to the speakers.

whatever it is, if you have too much time on your hands and counting you hair just isn't good enough, catch this movie. its so boring, you'll rot while watching the intro credits. trust me.
