Thai horror comedy done right...
I had the chance to sit down and watch the 2019 Thai horror comedy titled "Pee Nak". And granted, I hadn't even heard about the movie before now in 2021 as I sat down to watch it. But it being a horror comedy from the Thai cinema, then chances were high that the movie would be an enjoyable one.
And it was.
"Pee Nak" from writer Kimhant Kanjanasomjai and director Phontharis Chotkijsadarsopon manages to combine horror and comedy in a very enjoyable and entertaining manner; something that the Thai cinema is rather excellent at doing. So if you enjoy the Thai horror comedy genre, then you should definitely take the time to sit down and watch "Pee Nak".
The storyline is good, mixing horror and comedy well into the formula. And I quickly got submerged into the storyline, and I took a liking to the characters in the storyline from the very beginning. There are heaps of funny moments throughout the movie, which had me laughing.
Now, I will say that the first and final thirds of the movie was heavy on comedy, whereas the middle part of the movie was more heavy on the horror aspects. So expect a change in pace throughout the course of the movie.
The special effects in "Pee Nak" were good, and they definitely added an enjoyable element to the movie.
All in all, "Pee Nak" is a very enjoyable and watchable movie. I am rating it a well-deserved six out of ten stars. It is more certainly worth taking the time to sit down and watch.
