Lost Opportunity
Like the other Thai horrors like 'Ladda Land' and 'Promise' this movie could have worked well as a drama. It looks like the director wanted to make a good drama about a naive village girl who comes to Bangkok to help her sick grandma but somewhere in the middle of the shooting the studio wanted him to do a horror film instead.
The only good element of this film is the acting. Almost everyone in this film from the lead actress to the lady playing her friend's role and other girls from the bar did a good job. The direction is sloppy with a bad screenplay. We don't really know why the grandma would teach her sweet grandchild a very dangerous black magic which could backfire if not treated properly. We don't know why a girl who was so reluctant to perform semi naked in front of foreigners the first couple of days would use deadly black magic to go ahead in the 'business'. We also don't why the Thai police chose to be incompetent and do nothing about the murders till the end. The narration of this film is so sloppy that sometimes its laughable.
3 stars for the acting and somewhat good first 40 minutes.
