  2. Hey there,

    Well, I thought it was alright but then again I understood the context before I watched it so I got what I expected; a lowbudget exploitation film from Indonesia.

    I think a lot of fans of exploitation films are let down by films like this and PRIMITIFF (aka The Primitives) because they're used to Italian WIP and cannibal films. They're let down because they don't get no-holds-barred nudity and gore like in the Italian films.

    These films originate from a completely different background and as a viewer it's vital to understand the context and the cultural differences that comes along with it. Obviously I don't know you personally (not least since you're Anonymous, lol) or if you had taken the cultural differences into account but in any case that may very well be why you thought it was boring.

    These films aren't Italian (or even American) and it's easy to feel let down if you expect something else. It's like being a heavy metal fan and someone gives you a jazz record. LOL.

    Thanks for your comment.
