Water Spirit... Bah!

I need to and got to review this because at the end of the day I found this movie is not as good as the title said. Its a crap!

Water spirit
Not for the faint hearted
and pregnant women.

Ok lets hold this movie and its tagline to its value first.


When florence and me saw this poster both of us were like awe because of its tagline. Even the poster we felt it is scary enough. So we proceed to buy the tickets to see it.


Throughout the movie, the ghost was good only lar but the plot sucks. Utterly sucks.


Here is the spoiler:


Story goes back to the past in the first showing a group of girl students studying in a catholic school. They were taught by this strict principal. No, the principal did not do SM or anything that is sexually gratifying acts. Oh boy, i would have love this movie if that happen. Sadly, it did not. She preached them about SIN.


One day, one of the girl got horny with the priest, Father Miguel, and they make out like rabbits. As COM always said. At the end of it, yes the girl got pregnant. Unfortunately, the girl was looking at her pregnancy kit in the bathroom at the wrong time when the principal walked in and found out. To punish her sin, the principal proceed to pour hot water on her privates. Yes, she did it. Poor girl, she yelled and cried.


Then, on one hand, a group of girls were in the kitchen heard the girl cried. So they want to check it out and found the principal was punishing their friend. So they drowned the principal and dumped her body into the holy pond and vowed never to mention this to anyone.


After 18 years, the catholic school closed, the principal were never found, the girls are now adults and the one got who pregnant gave birth lar. One night, the holy pond was disturb and the ghostly principal came alive to kill the girls for their sin.


So the first to go was the girl who got pregnant. She was knifed at the throat. Gory. I am fine with it.


Then the second, the fat lady had both of arms amputated by a falling lift. Syok. I am still fine with it.


The third, cruxifixed in her own bathroom. Ok lar only.


The fourth, beheaded by a broken window. Nothing much... i've seen this in Braveheart and Lord of the Rings many times similarly being hacked off by swords or other things.


The fifth, burnt to death. Ok lar.


The sixth, had died before the movie began. * scratch head.. .no idea *


The last, the daughter was spear through the chest. This is the shittest part... illogical... just do not understand it.


Well, the last killing event happen to be in a water-filled chamber where the heroine intend to eliminate the principal in the water. Of course the ghost and the heroine died-ed. Why? The daughter was possesed the ghost, i think. the objective the heroine died was not clearly made out. If the director complained me i would just say, "Tiu, your movie last half part... i am blurred to the max!"


One thing about this story, it is absolutely nothing horrifying and as faint hearted as it is describing in its tagline. I would not say pregnant women should not watch this. It is more of a laughing ghostly act.


Even though there are few scary moments but towards the trip from New York to Barcelona the events are more a like what the hell's going on. Some things are just plain illogical like the friend priest Gabriel trying to make out with the daughter in the dead principal's room. Would you want to do that? No way. The movie characters just keep on going up and down or miss this things or that things. Clearly, it has no suspense and thrill effect in it.


After watching this movie, i do not find the tagline that convincing. Not for the fainted heart?! Are you kidding?

If you were asking is the ghost scary? No, movies like Ring, One Miss Call, Reincarnation ghost characters are more scarier than this! By the way, Reincarnation is the next upcoming ghost movie from Japan. I will be definitely watching this with Florence.


The story is definitely lame.


If you have watched Water Spirit, please compensate your satisfaction by watching, When A Stranger Calls. Its awesome and full of suspense. I recommend that you watch this movie. Its packed with energy.


After leaving the show,


Florence : Water spirit.. eh...
Me : Water spirit... ptuiiieee....
Florence : hahahahahahahaha...


is sky the limit... not for the faint hearted?! My arse!
