The horror genre, by its persuasion, is a form that is known for the amplification of scenes, sounds, and characters but in this film, there is an added dimension: near-camp approach to the horrifying. Here we have a meta cinema where we are forced to confront the evil in us, not in the form of phantasms, for that is facile, but in the manner of the exaggerated and the excessive, for this is as complex as evil over good is complex. The Jury Prize for Bakunawa Fest 9 is awarded to Part Forever directed by Chung An Ou Alan.
