After catching her boyfriend in bed with another woman, Nadia falls
down a staircase to her death ... well, almost anyway, she actually comes
back to life again after having already been declared dead. She immediately
breaks up with her boyfriend and moves out of their appartment pretty much
right away, and into a house next to a cemetary ... and somehow her
near-death-experience must have put her in touch with the ghostworld,
since soon enough, pretty much everybody she knows (including herself) is
haunted by a female virgin ghost. Eventually, via a TV transmission from
the netherworld, Nadia learns about the virgin ghost's fate: She has been
killed by none other than Nadia's own ex, cut apart and hidden beneath the
bathtub. Together with a friend, Nadia removes the bathtub and finds a
staircase leading to a well where the corpse of the virgin ghost is
hidden. Of course Nadia sees to it that the corpse is given a decent
burial, but not before the virgin ghost can have her revenge on Nadia's ex
and his lover as well ... The first third of this film might
suggest a decent ghost story, even though the J-horror influences are
undeniable, but then the film totally loses all of its effect when a
series of remarkably similar shock sequences take over and the plot is
lost somewhere in between, only to be picked up again at the very end of
the film in a rather half-hearted kind of way. That's not to say Hantu
Perawan Jeruk Purut is the worst movie ever seen, at least its
competently made and at least the first few shock-sequences work (until
the effect gets lost in the sheer overkill), it's just a shocker that
becomes tiring all too quickly - and if there's one thing a horror flick
is not supposed to become it's tiring, right?
