I watched this in cinema 2 years ago and it fucking scared the shit out of me :P Love the way Sophon present this movie, the director is also the co-writer of other thai horror movie such as "Shutter" & "Alone".

Though many critics stated that the movie is kinda weak and no surprise and illogical... but i mean, come on, its a horror ghost movie, there's no logic right? The movie within a movie is so damn cool~ i never thought so... till the last moment of the movie. Re-watch the film is still makes me goosebumps.
