Delete

I would have rated this higher if it had a more closed ending. When I have to google it to get other's opinions on the last couple of minutes then something is missing. Unless they left it like that hoping to get another season - I was expecting another delete at the end there or something - I can see all kinds of scenarios if that were to happen. Good thriller otherwise though. Also I guess it doesn't matter bit still, I was wondering where the phone came from in the first place - who made it? I only saw a few references about June being so smart and enters in many competitions and also the sister who was missing. All in all, many teists and turns as people get deleted - whp's next and why? The phone gets really valuable to have once they realize they need it to get thier loved ones back.

The promo, the production values, and the premise all got my attention. So I sat down to give this a look. It was filmed in Thai and is dubbed roughly in English. Overall I'd say this isn't a huge drawback. But you will notice it in essentially every single scene. This sort of thing is more acceptable when you're watching Godzilla then when you're trying to watch a serious drama.

Magic Camera makes people disappear. All right I want to know more. So I watch. I watch two episodes. And suddenly it Dawn's on me that there's nothing that this premise brings to the story.

If you want someone out of your life you don't need a Magic Camera to do it, you can simply eliminate them the old fashioned way. So this is a story about people who kill people who get in their way. It's not a new story at all. To that end I'm wondering what the point is of having a magical camera.

By the way if you did have a magical camera that could murder anyone simply by snapping their picture, would you be constantly looking in the lens yourself? Would you point the camera in your direction all the time? This is after all the equivalent of a gun. Who points a gun at themselves?

In a lot of ways I found this a reimagining of an episode of Dallas. Wealthy people, backbiting, treachery deceit infidelity.

And I suppose if that's what you want to see, essentially a Hallmark version of Dallas with a bit more gore thrown in, then I suppose this will be as passible as any similar work. And that's why I gave it a 5 out of 10. It doesn't get any points for Magic Camera. It doesn't get any points for breaking new ground.

This is just another episode of another soap opera.

Nothing wrong with that but don't be expecting me to sing its praises.

Delete: Thai Horror/SF series about a phone camera which makes people disappear. Sounds useful but there may be complications if love triangles are involved and maybe not all disappearances are due to deletions. A bit of soap is involved with standard school bullying. Perhaps one subplot too many but the tension is maintained. The horror is more of a psychological nature as this device literally invokes existential terror for both the users and potential victims. Secrets both mundane and mondo are revealed as the narrative unfolds. This is a dark tale.

Directed and Co-Written by Parkpoom Wongpoom. Eight episodes on Netflix. 8/10.

I thought it was enjoyable overall. The acting was good, and the concept was an interesting one. It started off interesting, and the plot keeps you guessing. The middle of the arc was a bit messier, as there's a lot of people trying to get people deleted. I think the story slips a little there too, and gets a bit dull.

Then it picks up again, and end was amazing, it goes from suspense to horror in the final episode, and I really liked it. I would have actually love to see more of the dark tone throughout.

It wasn't something that I expected, but at the same time it doesn't come out of nowhere. There are bits and pieces that are tiny when the come up, but then you're like, oh that's why that was mentioned earlier on.

I wasn't too interested when this popped up on my Netflix but I decided to give it a go. Once you get more into the story, things become more interesting. Actors are good the story is pretty intriguing, I can say I actually liked it and wanted to find out more. I'm not sure what I expected in the end, maybe a happy ending or some sort of explanation where this mysterious phone came from.

Anyway, you wait for it and then it comes the ending. What.. did.. just.. happen? Maybe you think you missed something during the series, possibly you fell asleep? It is absolutely non-sensical, there is no explanation at all.
