Ghost On Air
A film that aspires to be a horror story as much as it tries to celebrate them through its DJ-sharing-stories-on-air conceit, Ghost on Air, local director Cheng Ding An’s sophomore feature, is a bewildering farrago of horror clichés that never cohere to anything of importance. Technically apt and serviceably scary, the film has generous amounts of spine-tingling moments, with sound design – the film’s brightest spot – cranking up the sense of dread, eschewing the standard break-out-strings-on-cue formula for a more visceral and immersive score. It builds up the chilly atmosphere, somewhat lending the film more suspense than the narrative could muster, which is precisely the central flaw of the film: it is long on mood and short on urgency and story.

The Raid: Redemption
For some reason, Asian martial arts films tend to rate highly with Western critics. The Raid: Redemption looks set to continue this trend. The Indonesian-language action film, while good at what it does and possessing the unique quality of centreing on silat-based fight sequences, will probably strike Asian audiences as being just more of the same. After all, it's a well known fact that all Asians know Kung Fu; in fact, my gran kicks my ass with the Golden Mantis Crane Fist when I don't do the dishes.
