Asian countries
other than Japan and Korea were able to make a scary movie chilling goosebumps
for sure is Thailand. Some terrible films ever released from that country
including Shutter danAlone that the screenplay was written by Sophon
Sakdaphisit. Want to step up to a higher level again, Sophon trying directed
horror film that he wrote himself. The title is Coming Soon, lift horror on the
big screen with a widescreen theme.
The main
character in this film was Chen who worked as a regulator of projectors in
movie theaters. But work simply as a regulator of projector would not benefit
him. Chen also took a side job as pengkopi thug movie bootleg (pirated). The
trick when the theater was empty at night and cleared it play movies alone then
record it. This work has been he and his friend Peohl did during many times.
In the middle of
recording when Peohl horror film adaptation of a true story. In the film there's
a crazy woman who abducted children and their eyes gouged out. When Peohl was
watching the movie suddenly he disappeared the next day. Chen confusion trying
to figure out what happened to his friend. No warning horror film that has the
scent of a curse in it. Can Chen escaped the curse or Shomba crazy woman will
control his fate?
Stories written
by Sakdaphisit is actually quite clever in a groove and settings. Plot that
revolves around the damned movie may remind the horror movie lovers against the
Japanese horror film The Ring commendable but Coming Soon feels better because
the pacingnya heart pounded right from the start plus a lot of settings that
are in the movie theater - cinema strengthen damned scent carried. The
appearance of the actors - artist in this film, although not how good is enough
to make us care about their fates.
Shown most
memorable in the film are played by Shomba figure Padiphat Kanokamornsin.
Himself who appeared as an old woman who haunted a little crazy and a lot of
reminds me of the character Mrs Ganush from Drag Me to Hell movie. The lesson
can I learn after watching this movie is to never mess with an elderly woman
and need the money. The second lesson? Do not pirating movies - especially
movies demons devil because it can make stick with you!
Ahem, back to
the topic of the movie itself. Coming Soon is successfully made his heart beat
fast, but how to frighten the audience actually fairly cliched and predictable.
Several times I've been able to anticipate the appearance of the ghost with the
figure only once when the ghost appears totally unexpectedly. Yet Sakdaphisit
not entirely failed. Although I've been able to guess when the damned Shomba would
appear I still fear to see it.
That actually
worked by Sakdaphisit less successful is the film's opening twist. I do not
doubt the quality of his scripts. Shutter example is one of the horror movie
with a script that is not just scary but also gives a twist at the end of the
movie. The same money with Coming Soon; This movie has a fairly clever twist at
the end of the film but unfortunately the way the raw Sakdaphisit directing
makes the emergence of a twist so cool even less memorable fetched. If the twist
is already signaled silently throughout the movie then this movie might
actually be more stomping on finale.
