what can you say about this movie


for a thai horror movie its not too bad.
lots of blood, really bad acting and no real story.

i fell asleep after an hour or so but my wife (who is thai) kept waking me up asking what the h*ll the story was about.

"SPOILERS"
In fact because is a B-movie is just a bunch of hot babes getin killed by the vengance of a ghost, hehe if you watch more carefull, the doctor at the begining had some kind of harem with his nurses, but one of them was not happy because she want to marry him and end all the other nurses, thats why in a strange way to solve the problem the nurses try to calm down the girl in an operation table, but one of them just go and put a knife on her chest to finish the problem he, and the doctor do nothing about it just cover up the murder, some time later the ghost came back and kill every opne of the nurses that asist the doctor on her killing by ways some kind of ironic because of the obvious capital sins they commit, if you watch at the end the killed woman touch the belly of the nurse who killed her, in a way of putting her seed in her, thats why happens the birth scene at the final.

Really is just a slash, gore film no more and not to be celebrated more than that. But a good film on it self.

one thing I noticed is they stole ALOT of ideas from the Ju-On Series

That is quite possibly the longest sentence I've ever read. Bravo!

I loved this movie, it's like a mix of ju on/saw with a satirical twist. I like how each of the nurses had their own "sickness" and I felt each actor played their persona very well. There was a hell of a lot of dark humor (good thing) and irony (even better) in the ways the nurses were killed, how their "sickness" was presented, and how the Ghost was portrayed. Personally I thought it was more of a mockery on the way ju on was made. The way everything came together throughout the movie was genius and the transsexual twist at the end? Who honestly expected that? There were a couple of spots where the cgi was overly noticeable (the blood spurting after the one nurses head fell off.) but overall I thought the movie was shot very well. Its nice to be able to go back and see things you wouldn't understand watching it the first time through. Like IT haha. This movie is so underrated it's not even funny. A 4.8? Really? Now we just have to wait for an American version of this to come out so they can ruin it.

P.S. If anyone knows the name of the actress that played the bulimic nurse please let me know. Shes gorgeous.

It was a great homeage/parody of the ju-on films (You have to keep in mind, most Asain horror have stuff thats like ju-on). I loved how the ghost was like a model.

reply

And Ju-On had a lot of elements from other asian horror so I wouldn't say it was the first to do a lot of this stuff.

but I dont mean they had certain "elements" from Ju-On. I mean they took direct happenings from Ju-On and used them in this movie. One big one was when the girl lost her jaw. In Ju-On: The Curse, the young girl also loses her jaw. And probably the biggest one was at the end where Nook "gives birth" to the ghost. The exact same thing happend at the end of Ju-On: The Grudge 2

reply

The giving birth of a actual person has happened in several Japanese films, including Miike's Gozu.

reply

what do i think of the movie? one word, 'shyte!'

reply

I didn't think it was 'Shyte' as you called it and I don't nessecarily think it had anything to do with the Ju-On series since most of what happened n the movie like the hair scene is actually part of a Japanese myth, and most of what happens is scene in not just Ju-on films though it is more popular in theirs. It wasn't I will admit the movie was not my favorite but I liked the concept and at when you figure that the main dead chic was actually a guy that got a sex change for the Doctor I was thought the killings more justified so I liked the ending and for a Thai horror flick it wasn't bad.
And I think you should think about the concept of a movie before you call it 'shyte' and also you should probly learn how to spell how curse word before you type it-just a thought.

I loved the ending. It made you think that the pregnant nurse and the doctor were actually going to get away with it and that they had killed the ghost. Then as they're walking away, the girl falls down and "gives birth" to her brother/sister who then crawls over to the doctor to kill him. I was so p*ssed that they were going to get away with it, but when they still got *beep* in the end, it made me smile. :)

this was the first asian horror i have ever gotten my husband to watch. it was funny, when we thought she was dead, i almost said to him "dont worry this never works, she will be back" but i didnt want to ruin it for him.

i know the next stuff i write is not a reply to your post, i just dont want to make another post.

also other posts have said it copied juon, well i will give you the jaw scene. but for the most part i just thought they took every symbol that the asian horrors tend to have in them and threw them all in one movie. water, the hair, the fetus, i would say even the cellphone.

i cant decide if i liked it or not. it had a few interesting things going on. i really liked things about the ghost. the dress she was wearing and her hair. i loved the different positions she was in and how she held them. i hated her painted in black though. it took any creepiness she had away for me. am i correct that was supposed to symbolize the fact her body was in a trash bag? i just hated the black paint.

*beep* it, cut'em up!

reply

A friend I are were watching this and we thought she might have black because she was on dry ice, and the skin would turn black, but the trash bag idea might make more sense.

I thought it was hilarious how the Ghost was posing in the background for most of her scenes. That was priceless. I could see that being parodied in Scary Movie 6 or something.
