[Review] Possessed (2013)

Director : Pakphum Wongjinda

Casts : Peem Parkin, Appitha Klaiudom, David Asavanond, Kanyapatch Thanachaikarn

FYI :

Film-film yang menampilkan makhluk halus akhir-akhir ini sering dieksekusi ke dalam film komedi yang ringan dan penuh tawa daripada menjadi film horor yang penuh ketegangan. Salah seorang filmmaker Thailand yang terkenal dengan komedi horornya adalah Banjong Pisanthanakun dengan dua film pendek di 4Bia dan Phobia 2, juga film terlaris sepanjang masa di Thailand yaitu Pee Mak. Lagi-lagi, film horor komedi  Thailand kembali ke layar bioskop tanah air baru-baru ini. Poster dan tagline film ini mengingatkan saya akan In the End, salah satu film pendek Banjong di Phobia 2 yang dengan sukses mencampurkan tawa dan ketegangan dan membuat kita bingung siapakah yang masih hidup dan siapa yang sudah meninggal. Akankah film ini mampu menandingi In the End  dari sisi kualitas ?

[Review] Project Hashima (2013)

Director : Piyapan Choopetch

Casts : Pirat Nitipaisalkul, Sucharat Manaying, Alexander Rendell, Mek Mekwattana

Duration : 118 min

FYI :

Industri film Thailand sempat terkenal dengan film horornya sebagai salah satu horror Asia yang paling menakutkan, dan otomatis paling dicari oleh penggemar horor. Namun sayangnya, kejayaan horor Thailand hanyut terbawa tren film komedi romantis yang sedang hangat-hangatnya di Thailand. Beberapa film horor Thailand terakhir yang sempat tayang di bioskop tanah air tidak ada yang istimewa, hampir semua film ini saling mengikuti satu sama lain dan terkesan mirip tanpa ada ide segar. Hal tersebut juga terjadi kepada Banjong Pisanthanakun, sutradara Shutter, Alone, 4Bia dan Phobia 2. Film terbarunya yang menjadi film terlaris sepanjang masa di Thailand, Pee Mak menggunakan formula yang sama dengan film pendek Banjong sebelumnya, yaitu In the End di Phobia 2. Kali ini film Thailand kembali hadir di tanah air dengan salah satu film horor terbaru di Thailand, yaitu  Project Hashima.
