Tale of the Mummy (1998)
Talos the "Dummy"
We watched this film having being recommended to it by a friend. She said it was "really scary". It was not.
Terrible acting from Jason Scott Lee, as usual. The running joke of the film is the very last moment, when he turned around and gave a sexy roar. Oh, what a twist. Not to mention his 80s looking sunglasses.
If there is a sequel, don't watch it! Oh yeah, the storyline was rubbish. Christopher Lee died within like 1 minute into the film. Obviously they couldn't afford a good actor. The so called tag line should have been "The terror is legend; the poor acting is real". Russell Mulcahy should not be a director.
(PS. Is his upcoming film "Russell" based on his life of mystery and being turned into a koala? Because a koala can direct just as well as he does.)
Yeogo goedam II (1999)
Not scary at all... >.<
This film was quite disappointing really. Not much happens in it, and it certainly wasn't very scary at all. The freakiest thing in the film will be the fact that the diary was very densely written in, and it reflects a very obsessive personality of the writer. At the beginning, the intrigue of the diary barely keeps you on your toes, and as the film dragged on, you just start losing any other interest in it.
Acting was pretty OK, but by no means amazing. I guess the film does reflect on the compulsiveness of the characters within it - this is the only interesting bit I think.
If you wanted to see a film scarier than this, and leave you with something to think about, I suggest 'A tale of two sisters' instead.
