Review

An enjoyable romantic comedy for those who wanted to have a fun time during this Valentine day. The movie title does not really give justice to the movie. Ghost and Zombie are two words that have already saturated the movie titles of the past. But this movie gave a bit of an unbelievable story. Even the star of unbelievable movie, Chen Tian Wen also appears in this movie as the village chief who take care of the zombies. 

Funny man, Gurmit Singh is a demon slayer whose comical action will bring laughter to everyone. Those who have not seen Fann Wong for a long time in the movie will get to see her acting as a mother. One of the notable emotional part of the movie comes from Fann Wong memories of her daughter, Zhen Zhen ( Ferlyn G.) childhood stage performance. Do prepare tissue for this moment. Make sure nobody besides you notice your wiping. (During the preview screening, we only realised that the director was just one row behind us. Probably observing the response of the audience. )

For fans of Nathan Hartono, they get to enjoy his physique in the movie. For first time movie actor, he does act quite well. Also enjoy the beautiful song of washing by the river. Thailand is known for scary movie, well, the zombie was imported from Thailand to Singapore for authentic ghost movie, I suppose. With casts from husband-wife team, Jeremy and Jesseca Liu as supporting actors, this movie will definitely be a success. 

Don't think too much if you are a Singaporean or a permanent resident in Singapore, just buy the tickets and enjoy yourself during this Valentine Day. Lastly, be prepared to see many familiar faces of our movie and tv industry. 

Rating : 3.5 / 5
