If anyone's wondering, I thought this film was absolutely brilliant. I was excited for this film before its release, and was disappointed by what I had read on IMDb. Still, I decided to buy it from KL and give it a watch - and was astonished by what I saw. This is a well-realized film that tackles dark subject matter with aplomb. Humor and horror cast a brilliant backdrop to elucidate a story dealing with what it means to try, to give up, to move on, and, just maybe... To be reborn.
