I'm very excited upon seeing the film and sitting through it, for I expected that it would give me an impressive outcome, and I have to say, It did deliver. Exam is a low-budgeted film, which has 8 main character, a guard, and an invigilator. Despite of the said budget, It was able to give me a solid plot, awesome acting and great ending. Though the movie do not have a lot of gore scenes (I guess none at all), nor lots of screaming and killing. It was still great. It will keep you guessing and guessing and, simultaneously discovering the characters background, this movie is not boring at all, It'll keep you thinking and wait to see if your guess is right. This movie, only proved that budget is not a major factor in creating a ground-breaking movie. Exam is one of a kind and I wish to see more of this. 9/10.

The Road
(III) (2011)
The Road will move you from the beginning 'till the end..

Warning: Spoilers
The Road is not your ordinary horror-film, being a horror film enthusiast, I always crave to watch a non-mediocre type of such genre. The Road successfully delivered the elements that I wanted to find. First is that, it has an excellent cinematography, the ambiance in the movie manifests in the theater where I am watching. It has very great shots, that I was not able to witness in other horror movies. In, terms of the musical scoring, it is absolutely great, though it has some loop holes. But I find it okay for the team pull it off. . It is one of the elements in the movie that might give you the "shock value". The actors delivered fair with their acting. There might be weak acting in some parts, but it is venial. What makes The Road recommendable to watch is the story per se.
I loved how the film flowed, it's narrated through flashback and with that, you should start the movie from the beginning, do not go into the movie house if it already begun. For it will spoil you, 'cause it'll help you to discover the mystery of the story. Don't expect scenes that might jump you off from your seats (like what Insidious have, for example). The Road is a psychological thriller, that will give you the eerie feeling upon leaving the theater. If you able to loved "The Echo" which was directed by the same director, You'd be able to love The Road 100 times more. This is a movie that will scare you not because of gore, of disturbing scenes, not because of a lot of scenes that will shock you, but because of the story itself. The story that will make you think and will jolt you in the end. You'll remember the movie forever, and probably be included in you favorite horror movies.

Insidious
(I) (2010)
Overy-hyped movie; Not best, but it's just okay.

I have high expectations upon watching this film, for I've been hearing a lot of buzz about it. The movie has the concept, but it failed to deliver a good and unique type of movie. It's quite disappointing; the make-up of the demonic thing, that supposedly scare you will turn the movie into a comedy flick. Acting of the casts is just okay, nothing surprising. The movie is predictable. I really wanted to find a strength in the movie, but I can't think of any besides the story/concept. It might have jolt value for some, but to tell you honestly, it's not really that shocking. It's just okay. Nothing really special.
