Subject: Lightly entertaining

Could not really class this as a "horror" movie - wasn't scary enough. Reminded me more of plots for Grimm's fairytales, which I consider more gruesome. It was somewhat predictable. However, it was good light entertainment, and a pleasure to watch. Well acted, with a slightly creepy atmoshpere added by the native "witch" servant. The only characters that were stereotyped were the local workmen/villages, but they only got two appearances of only a couple of minutes. It was had to know if I felt sympathy for the protagonist, or that he received just punishment. Just who was the evil one in this movie? Having characters with both good and dark sides makes for a good movie.
Watch it for light entertainment, but don't expect too many chills up the spine.

I enjoyed this movie. the story is about a murder which would have stay unpunished but for the spirits of the jungle. Although it may not be the orignal plan of its makers, you can see it as a good "parody" .
