A horror portmanteau directed by two of Bangkok's most exciting directors, BANGKOK HAUNTED takes off from a trio of young women sitting in a trendy bar and discussing their experiences of the paranorm...( read more  read more... )al. The first two segments are directed by Pisut Praesangeam. In "Legend of the Drum," an antiques dealer comes into possession of an old drum and soon after starts having strange dreams and hearing a woman's voice. Upon investigation she learns the story of the drum, which entails a flashback to the unfortunate life of a boy named Gnod, whose unfortunate love for his sister and even more unfortunate appearance led to a lasting curse. "Black Magic Woman" is the tale of Pan, a lonely young woman who turns to a miraculous love potion in order to seduce men. It works like a charm, until the side effects begin to emerge. The last segment, "Revenge," is directed by Oxide Pang (THE EYE), and follows a detective investigating the death of a young woman. Although she is believed by the rest of the force to have been a suicide, the detective finds himself compelled to look deeper into the case, perhaps guided by a force beyond the grave.

    The film is dissapointing as it never quite captures the atmosphere of countless other Asian horrors. The film comes off looking like some second rate gritty 80's production. There are a few nice ideas, and since the film is made of three shorts you can take them at your leisure.

    Oxide Pang's segment is good. The others are so-so.

    The first story of the trio is pretty much the standard haunting based on love that went wrong, the other two stories are more unusual but overall the film relies more on atmosphere (which in places is a bit too subtle) than on frights or chills. Some of the effects are interesti...( read more)ng considering the relatively low budget, and the acting isn't terrible.
    If you're interested in watching this it would be better to watch it as a set of supernatural drama stories, rather than as horror. Have fun noticing the occasional western horror references too.
