Truly Dreadful Film
Best movie of this year hands down!
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Everyone tries super hard in this film and I'm amazed the producers could make anything for the the peanuts spent on it. Sadly all the enthusiasm amounts to a paper thin mess. By the way this was my first Thai horror.
Transparent as a window, effects like a drunk first-year student, and yet! And yet! In the first three minutes we had this pegged as a B-movie, and yet the characters were so amusing I actually wondered, not what would happen, but how it would happen. The ghost-seeing druggie was particularly interesting. And remarkably progressive: the girls are pretty but don't get undressed or sexualised and there's an openly gay character whose sexuality is rarely mentioned, but more importantly wasn't a crime. To try to explain the plot would be pointless: if you want good effects, exciting fight scenes, and a complex plot, this not it. But if you enjoy a top-notch movie so bad you can't help but laugh, this is the one. Oh, and on Netflix, it's "the train of the dead". Good times.
TRAIN OF THE DEAD is another awful Thai comedy horror outing that really pushes the boundaries as to what the viewer can put up with. The silly story involves a group of petty criminals whose latest robbery goes to pot, forcing them to seek refuge in a train carriage that turns out to be haunted. It's one of those dingy grey digitally-shot movies that looks absolutely horrible and is a real chore to sit through. The actors mug for all their worth and the lowbrow comedy typically involves cross-dressing and screaming, which didn't appeal to me at all. The horror content involves some brief gore which is played for laughs, but it's all very familiar and tiresome to watch.
