    Cultural differences aside, I know every continent has its own voodoo black magic stuff, but.. I dont think non-Thai people would really like this movie AT ALL. Im in shock that this was actually submitted as an International Film, it shouldve just stayed local! Agh gawd how awfu...( read more)l was this?! If I could give this movie 1/10th of a star I would..



    For the bold video explorers out there, think again before trying this out.. what a waste of film, time and money! Its supposed to be a horror movie... ffs theres more "drama acting" in this than horror... Ive never cursed so much due to irritation just by watching a movie!

    Crappy acting, crappy script, crappy directing, crappy casting, O hell! Its almost crappy everything! Chaimongkol should just be in an X-rated film... Wills should just stay in local Thai TV soap drama.. The only talented actor in this film was the reporter! And what about that stupid kid ghost? WTF LIKE?!! They place a ("sunkissed child" - rough english translation) to portray a kid ghost?! Gawd.. And something thats even more irritating is their portrayal of the nouveau riche! Oh puhlease! Why did they even go on in producing this? WHAT AN ABSOLUTE PAP!! DO NOT WATCH!! >X(!!

    Instead of watching a crap modern American horror movie, indulge in this evenly paced supernatural thriller. The dubs on the version I saw surely did not do the actors justice (they dub screams and sobs as well as dialogue). The gore scenes are evenly placed from each other, but ...( read more)linked together by compelling setup scenes. When the gore does kick in, we are introduced to some incredible visuals and also truly inventive ways to be killed. My only genuine criticism of this movie is that it is not good as other modern Asian horror, but that still makes it five heads above any recent Lions Gate releases.
    Every horror fan MUST see the "snails" scene in this flick, it is too badass to skip.

    "So Fucked Up" highlight:
    the snails sequence

    Rolls to an unsatisfactory conclusion.

    Despite this movies many flaws I actually quite enjoyed it, I don't know why really. I guess i kind of got used to it and accepted it for what it was, an average movie. The story is quite interesting, yet simple, and made me want to continue watching even though the movie was slo...( read more)w. And although most of the acting was quite bad I still found the characters somewhat believable.

    women can become vengeful just by the act of a guy...

    I first watched the latest movie and I enjoyed it a lot, and it made me interested in searching for this on the net. This was also a good film but I think, part 3 is still the best among the 3 films.

    The story line is typical, acting is farely decent, scenes are sometimes messy...( read more),like it needs more polishing on the scene sequence to make the film better. But if you really like good horror movies,i can still recommend this film.

    the storyline is very slow and predictable... if i had a choice when i watched the film...i'd rather not watched it...
