Cracked (I) (2022)
6/10
Unlike horror movies in general
25 January 2023
Ruja inherited inherited her late father's estate including two paintings of great value. However, there is damage to the painting that holds a secret and an oddity that happened to Ruja and her daughter.

A Thai horror movie that honestly has a good story premise. It's just that from the beginning of the film to the end, this film presents a story and horror atmosphere that is responsible for being performed. At the beginning of the film alone, the appearance of a horror atmosphere has been built with a typical horror score. However, until the end of the film, the horror atmosphere is very flat. Not much horror impression is given intensely. The appearance of either jumpscare or the terror of horror is present in an instant and simply vanishes so that horror and fear become felt for a moment. In addition, in terms of story, it also feels responsible. The premise of the story that brings flashback elements as pieces of mystery that also do not give much of a good impression of curiosity. Appears momentarily meaningless and disappears instantly tasteless until the climax of the film. One thing that amazes me is the twist that is layered in one moment. It might be good but it's long-time weird because it's not supported from the beginning of the film.

Cracked for me to be a responsible horror movie. Unable to present and build the maximum horror atmosphere. There's not a lot of terror and jumpscare that exists throughout the film. The appearance of terror and strangeness throughout the film is also brought in so briefly that we cannot get a sense of horror and fear. The plot of the story is not too dense but feels short to perform. Nor does it have a fast pace but it can't be said to be slowburn. The film also has a flat dialogue. There is not much dialogue that elevates the film as a horror film. More precisely this movie is like a drama film about revenge.
