9-9-81 (2012)

At first it was very shallow but as time went on it got more and more interesting.

The bride character who commits suicide is the center of this film, where there will be 9 stories that show 9 other characters' perspectives on the bride fateful incidents.

1. The Waiter
After the opening, this film start from perspective of a young man waiter who keeps the bride's panties and she absolutely not like it.
Not scary, but enough as a warm-up.

2. The New Tenant
The perspective of this character in my opinion strengthen the horror atmosphere and a little bit depressing vibe.
There is a jumpscare but it's not scary enough.

3. Friend
It made me understand a little about the origin that caused the bride to commit suicide.
This friend is an idiot.

4. The Lover
This character's perspective made me understand why he wanted to leave the bride even though he used the wrong method.

5. The Maid
I like the perspective of this character the most because I finally realized that all perspectives can be connected and made relax a little bit by watching the granny who wants to win the lottery with the help of the spirit of the bride.

6. Mother
The mother's perspective turns into dramatic direction, it feels so gloomy, this is also answered about what actually happened to the Lover ending.

7. The Gloom
The bride who has died, in order her soul to be in peace, her family got her married ritual to a guy.
Got me thinking "If only... she's choose the right guy"

8. Old Soldier
The bride's mother fell into deep sadness and now involves the father, ended with a fairly depressing ending.

9. Old Dog
It feels like bonus story or chapter in a series or videogame, so I don't really think this film need this guy perspective, because everything was already clear.

No regret after watching this film.

A good watch

The ratings being low makes sense because the beginning wasn't too good tbh. Thanks to a comment below, I watched the whole thing and I like the stories and how they string few together or makes sense of almost everything by the end. The synopsis is all you need but the story is much more than what you'd typically expect from it.

The movie is almost like an anthology - but to be more precise, it's a group of stories all connected by a main theme - the ghost bride. Another review details on each short stories so I'm not getting into it.

Acting - was good and natural. Not much awkwardness.
Story - might not be hold your attention initially, but do watch in order. Once I finished the first 3 stories, especially at the 4th, it got my interest.
