I went to see this on Monday, April 30th, 2018, here in Vallejo, CA, at the Century 14 Vallejo, for the 4:30 p.m. show.
Quickie Review: A group of friends go on Spring Break somewhere in Mexico. Where they are lured into playing a deadly game of Truth or Dare.
What I think about this movie: It's not really a horror movie, per se. It's more of a suspense movie. And I don't get why the curse was not lifted after the incantation was already said and done the required seven times and all they had to do was put the sacrificial offering inside of the jar. I, also, didn't like its ending.

I went to see this yesterday, Tuesday, May 1st, 2018, in Richmond, CA, at the Century 16 Hilltop, for the 10:20 p.m. show.
Quickie Review: A fake paranormal investigator/exorcist and her team finally get more than they ask for when they agree to do their work in a haunted mansion.
What I think about this movie: It's not scary; and it's not even funny. I wasted gasoline, subjected my car to unnecessary wear-and-tear, and wasted my time and money to go see this "movie." This movie, for me, was a big let-down; especially considering that the lead actress, Kim Chiu, did a good performance in last year's THE GHOST BRIDE.
The South Korean actor, Ryan Bang, was the only one that I liked in this "movie."
**************************************
I wanted to see both movies back-to-back. But, as I was about to leave the Sonoma Boulevard McDonald's Restaurant here in Vallejo, CA, where I had dinner and where I spent time on the Internet until their closing time at 10:00 p.m., I was unable to use the men's room, first, before heading off to Richmond because some male employees were cleaning it. Since my bladder was really full, I decided to just head on home and see DA ONE THAT GHOST AWAY the following night.
And the reason why I wanted to see both movies on the same day was because of what happened to me in a predawn hour on Monday.
Here is what happened ....
An early morning FaceBook Messenger message to
my siblings:
my siblings:
Today, Monday, April 30th, at 2:11 a.m., as I laid
in my futon trying to decide if I should go empty my
bladder or just sleep it through, I noticed with my very
slightly opened eyes a faint light, like from a very
tiny flashlight, 🔦 sweeping across my living room
then aiming at a spot to my left. All of a sudden, I felt
someone/something put a dark “box” 📦 on my left
that occupied an area alongside my hip and knee, in
approximate length. The “box” had some heft to it.
And, then, whatever it was, it searched the room--
where I was in--with its “flashlight”. Finally, it retrieved
the box and put it on a “shelf” or “top bunk bed”
about a yard away from my left side.

I wondered to myself, That’s odd. The last time that
my siblings and I slept in the same room was when
we were still living in the two-bedroom apartment in
Matina, Davao City, Mindanao, Philippines back in the
early ‘70s. Why would there be a bunk bed near me, I
asked myself. 🤔
I wanted to see if the very stealthy
someone/something would do anything else as I
laid there pretending to be fast asleep while a song
played like a broken record in my mind ( I think
that it was the song with these lyrics: “I saw the sign.
I opened up my eyes and saw the sign 🎶”---Yeah, I
know, funny things do happen to me at The Most
Inappropriate of times LOL ). Then, I realized once
again that I live all alone in my condo and that I don't
even have a bunk bed! 😨 But I wasn’t afraid, though,
not in the least bit. Because I was just so calmly
observing its presence.

I kept still as I intently tried to sense some more
the presence of this silent visitor/intruder. But, to my
dismay, it had already gone. It probably sensed that
I was no longer fast asleep. Dammit! 😡

After a few more minutes, I got up to empty my
bladder at 2:20 a.m. And I went into my kitchen to
drink some water. 🥛

Now, I write this as I wait to fall asleep once again
as I do have a 7:00 a.m. appointment with my
periodontist.
