Oh boy. This cheap horror flick is just plain bad. Real bad. And it's worse than any awful movies listed in the Bottom 100. Strangely, though, despite the genre itself, it's more of an unbearable comedy than what it supposes to be.
Mistik is definitely the Malaysian equivalent of Manos, the Hands of Fate: from the rather cheesy opening credits that introduce the main characters in unbelievably campy situations and the 'chicken' dialogue (that's what drives the audiences crazy) to the endless waves of screaming and laughable cheap thrills (you have to see this to believe it! For example, cat and leaves thrown at one of those unfortunate victims!). What surprises me, though, is that Mistik is supposed to be a horror movie but because the crews fear of the censorship, they decide to turn it into a family-friendly fare. Imagine watching a G-rated Exorcist or Psycho (or whatever famous horror movies you can name). For me, it's just plain absurd and ludicrous and it's possible that the whole world would laugh at Malaysia's ability to make movies such as Mistik. For me, this whole situation is quite embarrassing.
If you think I'm wrong, just watch it and you will get my point.
