Death Whisperer

I've become a huge fan of Thai horror. Anything Netflix puts out is more than likely a smash hit. They definitely put a lot of thought in time into this craft. I also like watching Thai horror and it's original Thai dialect that makes the movie so much better to watch. This particular movie was a hit for and I think everybody should watch it. It kind of reminded me of a Thailand version of the conjuring. The only difference is they add a lot more substance to their horror maybe it's because folklore and supernatural hits differently when it's shot in the fields of Thailand. We also don't know how much truth is drawn to produce these horror movies so for me that's a hit.

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...

The movie is about a family in a remote village where they grow and sell shallots. The family members have just-out-of-the-salon hair and pretty stylish way of talking and walking. They no way looked like they belonged to that village. Yeah, good looks sell, but it must make some sense. Simply ridiculous. This just ruined the whole movie.

Chris hemsworth was in madmax, but the makeup, hairstyle everything made it look like he belonged there. The movie makers didnt even care to take any effort to match the look of the actors to the characters they played. So silly and pathetic. Besides that, the movie was ok.

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.

A family living in a farm is struck with supernatural occurrences which coincide with one member getting sick. The story's structure, like the other commenters said, is typical, even the personalities of some of the characters. That's not necessarily bad, but the film has to have strong details to make it unique from the others in the genre, not to mention cohesive storytelling--and that's where the film missed the mark.

Folk horror films rely heavily on the legend, and this legend has to be explained, especially if the film makers intend to screen it internationally. The legend of the antagonist on this film was just scratched on the surface, and the "rules" were sketchy. Too much exposition is bad but it should be enough for the viewers to understand how things really work. We didn't get that here. Maybe on the sequel?

From the first third of the film, there were already disconnects. There were reactions from characters that were out-of-place; sometimes they reacted too much considering what they only knew, sometimes they said things too early. It's like there were deleted scenes or maybe misplaced ones.

The acting in this film was mixed. One actor was great but there were some who I don't know if they just chose to act that way or the film makers told them to. One character looks overly concerned at times while one character was often nonchalant. I'm not sure if it was meant to be comedic but it made me laugh, I thought it was a horror-comedy film. That's a minus for the atmosphere.

There were also too many characters. That two-hour run time should have been used to flesh out the legend, give more time to the antagonist rather than give dialogue to characters that were hardly used.

The positive on this film is it had creepy moments scattered across those two hours. It had a nice opening scene, the antagonist was scary, the characters are likable, and early on I thought it had the potential to be like 2021's The Medium; however, the insufficient legend information, and the confusing storytelling and atmosphere made this film a wasted opportunity.

I should be giving this film a 6 if not for the big contradictory information it had. There were two contradicting statements made about a character. It's an important detail in the mystery so it's surprising it went unchecked. I'm hoping the sequel is better.
