In 1987, four movie screeners stumbled upon a chilling event as they were hired to screen a movie in the forest of Kamchanod, Udon Thani Province. The screeners were wondering why they had no audience at all. Yet, as the movie was about to end, a group of people emerged from the forest and lined up in front of the screen. To the screener's surprise, the audience also began to disappear as mysteriously as they had appeared out of nowhere.
Yep, I copied that from IMDB but it was the best way to explain the plot of this weird movie that is kind of a cross between Ring and The Sixth Sense. Reading that explanation is kind of confusing after seeing the film but only because the film really blurs the lines between reality and not.
At first I expected this film to be artsy and philosophical. But then I was surprised when it was actually a horror film with a few really good jumps, lots of suspense, and full of a general creepiness that left you looking over characters shoulders most of the movie. But now that I've though about it for a while I would have to say it was artsy and philosophical.
I don't know. This one is a hard one to pin down. I can't even say for certain that the above is what the movie is about – well yes it's what the movie was about – but it's also historically what drives the movie. It's all very circular. Someone is researching this dissapperence and triggers the whole sequence again. Or maybe the movie is what happened them and they are reliving it like a movie over and over. Or maybe... I better stop there.
Suffice to say this movie is strange and creepy and if you like inscruitble Asain horror then this will be one of the better ones you've seen. |
