El experimento fantasma

Don't judge this movie by critic's reviews and ratings. This movie deals with horror, love, and human relationships. Something different from horror movie titles and this movie is so unique. If you are trying to deal with a ghost in an old-fashioned house this is not your taste. But if you are like to experience and enjoy a meaningful horror movie taste this; you wouldn't be disappointed at the end that's sure.

I must admit that I was expecting a tad more from the 2021 Thai horror movie "Ghost Lab" than what director Paween Purijitpanya managed to deliver.

For a ghost movie then "Ghost Lab" was sort of a mixed experience. On one hand then it was actually nice to see a Thai ghost movie that deviated from the usual archetypical, and often stereotypical, formula that many ghost movies from Asia follow. But on the other hand, then the movie's storyline just didn't really feel wholehearted, and the movie was definitely lacking in the scares department.

The storyline told in "Ghost Lab" was interesting enough on certain aspects, and I do like the aspect of men of science delving into the realm of the supernatural in order to prove something. And that worked out well enough in "Ghost Lab", at least up to a certain point, then the movie just became stale and lost its drive.

It should be said that the acting performances in "Ghost Lab" were definitely good, and the actors and actresses were putting on good performances to bring their characters to life - pardon the pun - on the screen.

Visually then "Ghost Lab" was adequate, I suppose. There weren't much of ghosts to be seen, so if you are expecting that, you'll be sorely disappointed. It should be said, though, that the special effects and CGI department did good enough jobs with bringing the supernatural elements to life on the screen. Luckily, then "Ghost Lab" was not a movie that was overly reliant on special effects in order to be watchable.

"Ghost Lab", as a horror movie, just failed to bring much of anything overly new to the genre. So writers Vasudhorn Piyaromna, Paween Purijitpanya and Tossaphon Riantong weren't exactly revolutionizing the Thai horror/ghost genre with "Ghost Lab".

But ultimately, "Ghost Lab" is adequate for a single viewing, if you have nothing better to watch. This wasn't a groundbreaking moment in Thai horror cinema, nor was it a particularly memorable or outstanding experience. I am rating "Ghost Lab" a mediocre five out of ten stars.

GDH 559's first film to premiere on Netflix, Paween Purijitpanya's 'Ghost Lab,' wastes intriguing ideas for cheap scares. Not without its moments of horror and suspense - and, surprisingly, heartpounding melodrama, but the movie fails to effectively convey promise of its story. The premise is captivating, but the execution and overall story leave much to be desired.

Overall good plot but if you are watching from a scientist point of view, you can't help but feeling a bit disappointed. Gla made such sacrifices, why not finish the experiment. What's the lesson here to learn? To give up? There were a few touching moments, but still they don't balanced out the feeling of incompleteness that was left at the end of the movie. The more I think about how Gla was the one that started the project, the more I felt anger by the fact that he was also the one that wanted to end the experiment. Can you imagine the wave that would create in the research world? The Lancet probably begging you to have the article published. So much cooler if it ends the other way!

In these days I'm bored with thai movies.

But this is movie can make me watch it till the end.

Still have some hold in plot but i can see future from this team. Lead male actor can make me feel that his acting is real. Can't wait to see his next movie. And one of all is the director. He is good story teller. Glad to see a good thai movie here.
