Having watched the 2020 horror movie "The Bridge Curse" and finding it to be mediocre, I can't really claim that I was particularly thrilled when I stumbled upon the 2023 sequel "The Bridge Curse: Ritual" here in 2024. But of course I opted to sit down and watch it, after all it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen.
And who knows, maybe it would prove better than the first movie. So of course I opted to give director Lester Hsi's 2023 movie a fair chance.
Writers Keng-Ming Chang, Po-Hsiang Hao and Shih-Yuan Lu put together a script and storyline that felt like a heap of random scenes written and shot independently of one another, and then handed over to director Lester Hsi to put together and attempt to make a coherent movie. It didn't really work out, because there was a horrifying lack of red thread throughout the course of the movie, and that made for a somewhat disjointed and boring viewing experience.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but it should be said that the acting performances were actually fair. They had a good group of actors and actresses put together to portray the various characters in the movie.
And the title of the movie "The Bridge Curse: Ritual" just made zero sense when you look at the narrative and the contents of the script that the writers managed to concoct.
My rating of "The Bridge Curse: Ritual" lands on a three out of ten stars.
