Ambitious concept, but falls flat with AI

The film utilizes a lot of other myths outside of the known local ones for the horror element, while I can see the concepts being present in the film, instead of it being fleshed out, all those concepts felt like decorations; why is there the Irish myth of the Circle Stones, Norse Runes and references of Catholic elements within a MALAYSIAN setting? I am not against said imagery but the fact none of them is fully utilized or explained made it seem like the writers wanted dress up instead of a thought out plot element. I admit the plot is somewhat entertaining, kinda reminds me of Resident Evil 4, the comedy bits are somewhat okay which Im feeling generous since its a local production, I give one star. The project is ambitious, but what really sets me off is the usage of AI in this film, it's not even subtle and they're just replacing animators, its VERY obvious.

I can see what they were trying to do, but the execution fell flat. 2 stars for some interesting concept and entertaining plot, this movie is the kind you'd put on during open house as background noise. I kinda see a potential for a TV Show if they put in research and ditch the AI.
