Thai horror films rely on their own local characteristics and culture, bringing a Thai horror experience that is different from that of the United States and Japan, and these 5 are more classic Thai-style horror films.
"Matsuri House for Rental"
Director: Sofen Shadafez
Douban: 7.3
It is said to be the Thai horror movie with the highest score in 2023, based on the real case of a rental house murder that happened in Thailand. The horror atmosphere in the first hour of the film is very well created, and the conspiracy to uncover the whole story in the second hour can be said to be very well designed in layers.
Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Ning rented out their house to a doctor and his daughter. But after the house was rented, Xiao Ning received complaints from neighbors that strange noises would come from the house in the middle of the night.
The husband also began to behave strangely, and the daughter was threatened by an evil force. tells the same story from three perspectives, and shoots a story of "doves occupying the magpie's nest" mysterious and moving.
Southeast Asia's cult culture has been used to the extreme, with a feast of crows, members of the netherworld, possession spells, soul migration, and physical seizure.
One of the most impressive scenes is: when Xiao Ning wanted to break the doll with a hammer to interrupt the ceremony, his arm inexplicably felt extremely strong resistance. The camera flickered, and another horrific scene was reflected in the mirror.
It turned out that her hand was held by many invisible ghosts. A small room is extended by a mirror to give out more information, and after reading it, it suddenly feels crowded.
"Demon Ran 5"
Producer: Ban Trang Bicinda Nagan
Douban: 7.3
The No.1 Thai segmented horror film in my heart, five ghost stories one by one, who can withstand this, is different from the human reflection of Japanese horror movies, and the fatigue of ordinary life.
As a Buddhist country, Thailand pays more attention to the cycle of cause and effect, and the clues of retribution are unpleasant. The film consists of five different stories.
They tell the story of the little novice who does not believe in cause and effect but is difficult to defeat fate, meets a ghost in the hospital, hitchhikes and boards a car with a living corpse, a ghost who dies is attached to the car, and a "ghost" plays the protagonist of a ghost movie.
There is also a Hellish 4 before it, which is also quite good, and the two films add up to a total of 9 horror stories, and the themes are also somewhat different.
The two parts are also interspersed with a relatively relaxed story, and the horror is mixed with some funny elements, so that everyone can't sleep.
The Art of the Devil 2: Evil Descends
Director: Ronin Tim
Douban: 7.5
Horror films with a score of more than 6.5 on Douban are already excellent, while this film is 7.5 on Douban. After watching this movie, I only have one feeling: the head lowering, one of the four major evil arts in Southeast Asia, has been popularized to high school in Thailand.
Six students broke the affair between the PE teacher and their stepmother, and were bullied by the PE teacher in retaliation. So the six students found the wizard and began to take revenge on the teacher......
Elements you can imagine, lust, cults, ethics, gore, witchcraft... It's all here!!I dare to shoot anything... There are a lot of visually impactful pictures, and the plasma is smashed up as if it doesn't need money.
Although the early stage is in the foreshadowing plot, it contains details everywhere, and the second half of the large-scale bloody and murderous scenes, coupled with reversals and killings, are constantly reversed, and the ending is unexpected and makes people think about human nature very fearfully.
"The Devil Will Be Screened"
Director: Sofen Shadafez
Douban: 7.1
It is said that the box office in Thailand reached 50 million baht in 18 days of release, and the average daily box office reached more than 2.77 million baht. In some lists, it even surpassed the classic "Ghost Shadow" to become the "top 10 ghost movies in Thailand".
The film tells the story of the male protagonist who is in an economic crisis and is coerced by the underworld to play an unreleased new film, and later finds out that his friend is dead and appears in the film, and more people are about to die as the film is played.
Even if it is not the top of the list, it is also one of the masterpieces of classic Thai horror films, and it is also one of the must-see horror films.
The concept of this film is very interesting, although it borrows the concept of Sadako from "Midnight Bell", but it is clear that after the home video was turned into a movie theater, the radiation of this terrifying atmosphere has changed.
"Ghost"
Director: Ban Trang Bicinda Nagang
Douban: 7.7
It gathers the high-energy points of Japan, South Korea and Thailand. Although there are routines in some places, it does not prevent this film from being one of the best Thai ghost films.
It is said that the ghost will be shown and the ghost shadow are the two giants of Thai horror films, but in terms of plot and atmosphere, I personally think it has to be this one.
The photographer and his girlfriend drove home, and after hitting a woman, the two fled the scene of the accident, and a series of strange things followed: many of the photos were taken with an extra blurry female figure, inexplicable neck pain, and classmates at the party jumped off the building one after another.
The fact that the male protagonist is a photographer is well designed, and there are always ghosts in the photos taken, and the plot is constantly reversed, so that the male protagonist has changed from a poor victim to a scumbag who does not deserve sympathy.
The last scene can be called a classic moment in the history of horror films. "Ghost" can be regarded as the pinnacle of Thai horror films, this 04-year-old movie created the box office myth of Thai films, and also made the hero and heroine popular, and it was a smash hit.
