Let's be realistic.
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
This movie was put together well, written well, and performed well. The photography was better than many box office "smashes", and the story was emotionally affective and effective! The young cast (Arak Amornsupasiri as Phong,Vitsawa Thaiyanon as Kaa, Artikitt Prinkprom as Chi) performed admirably for the genre. The special effects were trim and did not distract but rather enhanced the overall appeal of this show. The cheesy aspect of the story of young victims receiving powers by which they can avenge themselves against there tormentors was vacated by it's being done to an emotionally charged crescendo. The opening scenes of the children being abused was shocking, terrible but ultimately underlay the seriousness of the whole movie. The subject was handled without apology. The song that Jarinya Sirimongkolsakul sings towards the end, as Kor-ya, was also effective. All in all it was emotionally satisfying, even sharable if it hits you the right way.
