3/10
Great effort but poorly executed

Warning: Spoilers
Like the title says it all... great effort for Malaysian cast and crew debut International debut mini series.. all the cast we can see put in a great effort to make the series looks good but the outcome could not be delivered

As the series goes on I can already predict every scene and possible outcome on who the murderer is... the plot is thin and kept on dragging it to 6 chapters which is awfully long winded just gave just ended it at chapter 4

A lot of unnecessary scenes to tell a story.. what I finds it interesting was the location scout which took place in peranakan mansion which is in Penang and I particularly fond off

I had already guess the murderer from chapter 3/4 I could not recall when a girl dressed up in cloak came out.. I may not know the back story but is predictable as Isabel ( Theresa Daley) won't be a cameo in this series I can see the locals and international effort in this movie But at the end of the day the story just did not pull it off

The movie tries to cramp in drama, mystery , horror , folklore, romance all into 6 chapters like a saying too much cook spoils the broth .

I rated it 3 stars because firstly the soundtrack is cool secondly the location for shooting is great thirdly the set design was quite charming for example the gambling den, the lim mansion and the pan household making it looks 1890.
