If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
This is listed as a horror film, but it plays out more like a straight forward crime film with supernatural elements. Nuntha (Patcharapa Chaichua) has to care for her three nieces and nephews, when her Brother dies mysteriously. Strange things start to happen and so Nuntha starts investigating his death in greater detail. Her Brother had been working as an undercover cop, trying to penetrate the secrecy of a mafia like criminal gang. This is a ghost as protector type film. It lacks the many jump scares that similar American films have, but it does beautifully recreate the nastiness of underworld of crime colliding with the dread of the after life.
