Death Whisperer

Enjoyed it, very much so that it wasn't scary to be suspenseful. I love the scary movies, I'm afraid of ghosts, but the mind wants to fight them and find out, and we don't expect them to be this gruesome. The story is an excellent story, for me, midway through to the end, there's hardly any time to catch a breath from a ghost, because ghosts are present most of the time, and ghosts are incredibly distracting to keep you confused. Although I was somewhat disappointed in the story, which could have been told a little more in depth. As of now, it's not quite as detailed yet, + the movie goes on formula. A ghost movie that can only guess what will happen next, and some elements don't seem entirely natural.

Plus points:

• Very good-looking actors, ok use of sound
• The film itself is a no-brainer, therefore, suitable for average audience looking for pure entertainment

Minus points:

• Awkward interaction between characters as a family.

• The acting is almost too obvious
• Tee Yod regurgitates every element of a stereotypical horror movies, especially the overwhelming number of jump-scares. The film is generic as a result.

• Weak scriptwriting - no intensification, easy problem-solving throughout which renders the film ending extremely frustrating.

• Horrible visual effects
• A lot of underdeveloped characters
• The film fails to accentuate the power of the villain, thereby the devil seems to be an insane person rather than a transcendental entity.

This film not only presents intense horror scenes but also incorporates elements of gore that truly sent shivers down my spine and made me feel genuinely scared. The storyline is engaging and full of unexpected twists that keep us on edge.

As a horror film, Death Whisperer does a solid job weaving its narrative. The exposition is delivered in a balanced way, ensuring the audience doesn't get lost or confused throughout the film. The plot is captivating, and with numerous twists and turns, it becomes difficult to predict how the story will unfold by the end.

The film features several good-looking characters, likely chosen to portray the six main children in the story. This casting decision seems to have been made to boost the film's appeal, and it appears to have worked. Thai model Nadech Kugimiya, known from The Con-Heartist (2020), plays Yak in the film. Technically, what stands out is the score, which heightens the creepy atmosphere and maintains a constant sense of tension throughout. The death whispers, a central feature of the film, are especially chilling.

However, in certain scenes, the score can be a bit overpowering, though it's still understandable. The jump scares are effective and manage to surprise the audience, feeling natural rather than forced.

After the older brother returns to his hometown, he must find a way to save his younger sister from a bizarre disease that is causing her to behave differently. When a remote village is plagued by a deadly curse, one brother must fight to save his family from a terrifying supernatural threat.

I watched it with my 10-year-old goddaughter, who, like me, loves horror movies with ghosts and witches. This is another good Thai horror production. It has a few flaws, such as some dialogues and sequences, but it is enjoyable to enjoy. A close-knit family, a possessed little girl, the legend of the Whispering Witch. It is quite satisfying, as my goddaughter would say...

No pun intended - calling a horror movie horrible should be a badge of honor, no? Of course if you watch this, you have to like horror movies - and if you like them, you may be aware of some of the cliches and the traps (story wise) a movie can fall on (or through).

This was quite visceral ... and it does have quite a few scenes that I thought would be "fake" (dream like) scenes ... that actually happened in the movie! I respect that - the effects are really good - though may be a bit too much for viewers who may be sensitive about these things. Know yourself and know your limits - there are way worse (or better?) movies when it comes to violence and blood - but this still has quite a few gruesome scenes.

What I did not know: there seems to be a sequel ... I reckon that makes sense .... I might even watch it, once it arrives at Netflix.
