Zong xie

Did you know that if someone dies under extreme rage or grief... they can make the rope they use be a cursed item.

This is actually a Taiwanese film which does have a certain air of familiarity, but the actual rope itself is rather incidental. Ten years after a girl was bullied to death (because of a ten year promise), all of a sudden a curse is unleashed that inflicts death on those that bullied her. One incidental was her friend she fell out with at the time, and so the movie is about their connection and problems between them, in a wrapping of an evil curse movie.

It's not a bad movie, there is some good building of tension, which I like in a movie. But yeah, the actual curse it rather incidental. The resolution promises that the events aren't over, but then we get a twist at the end that is comes out of nowhere, but is rather standard for these types of movies.

Let's see what the sequel holds...
