The Maid

Thai writer-director Lee Thongkham's horror feature is a giddy, gory little treat.

The Maid is an immensely satisfying, subgenre-blurring rollercoaster from start to finish.

The Maid is beautifully shot and Sornarin gives a great performance which may have cemented her place as queen of Thai horror.

In the end, though, there's much better stuff out there, and one can only hope that the money and fame this produces are put to use creating works which are a bit less obvious.

In its constant shift in style and tone the film never manages to claim a voice for itself, making it hard to identify exactly what audience it has been created for.

Lee Thongkham serves up a terrifically toxic treat with this tale of twisty melodrama, ghost story and bloody revenger's tragedy
