Muoi: The Curse Returns is a light sequel to the 2007 Korean-Vietnamese horror film Muoi: The Legend of a Portrait. Sixteen years later, the story fails to impress and gives a rather dated impression. Along with being quite predictable, this story of love, jealousy, sisterhood, and frights is way too old-school. Although the film makes many artistic choices that look interesting and make the film aesthetically pleasing to watch, other than looking like art, there’s nothing much to it. I was quite impressed by the first 5 minutes; that looked promising until the title appeared, but it doesn’t really go downhill from there; it just sluggishly moves from one plot point to the next with no real depth to any of it. For those wondering, it can be a standalone watch if you’re interested in looking at something pretty with a couple of gruesome scenes on a Sunday evening.
