screamfest @ screen singapore

Has anyone gone for any of the screenings featured in screen singapore?

Go, pick up a brochure or go here! Like, now!

The boy and I will most probably be going for the Pontianak Night: Sumpah Pontianak & Return to Pontianak screening this Saturday at the Alliance Francaise.

I've not watched the latter, but Sumpah Pontianak scared the shits outta me when I was a kid.
Er, wait.
I'm not sure if it's the same movie that I watched when I was kid.
Kay, here's the version that I watched:
The pontianak kept clawing at the belly of a woman who was about to give birth. I believe she was trying to steal the baby.
My memory's a bit vague, but that's all I remember.
I think that's where my fear of giving birth stemmed from.
hahahaha. stupid dumb nut.
It could be another movie, but heck.

Anyway, the screening this Saturday will be graced by Maria Menado (she's the lead actress in that 1958 pontianak movie) who will "talk about her heyday playing the pontianak".

Of course there're other movies lah, like Labu dan Labi, Penarik Becha and other made-in-Singapore movies.
And oh, it's cheap!
ah $5 for students cheap, wat.
hahaha.



...er, like how many 'P' words did I use in this entry?
