The Review

Well the scare factor was rather palpable to me, it has potential but was wasted by a first-time feature director I reckon.

After watching this, I felt the movie could have been better in terms of cohesiveness.

The director it seems tried too many thing at once, branching out in many different areas of subplots, without focus on the main plot.

This is one of the most mediocre Thai horror film I’ve seen so far. Give it a miss.

The Good

• Nice cinematography

The Bad

• The characters were annoying
• Acting wasn’t up to par, very stiff
