Thinking that it was just like other Thai horror movies, this one had caught me off guard. It was not the usual loud suspense music accompanied with screams, long hair and fingernails.
The
story revolves around 3 Thai youngsters, Jack, Bee and Pam. Jack, the
rich kid played by Pachara
Chirathiva
was supposed to be in New York studying, ended up partying for 3
years and have not gotten entry to the University, Bee, Jack's
girlfriend had just arrived at the Big Apple who was played by
Jarinporn
Junkiet and
Patarasaya
Krueasuwansiri,
played
Pam who is a design student indulged with love and sex.
The
party trio were looking to have fun during their countdown to 2013,
and had called the drug dealer Jesus. Only to found out this Jesus
was never the one that they had meant to call. The party had went
violent, stranger drug dealer made the rich kids undergo pain,
suffering and to confess to their lies, sins and own set of dark
secrets.
Producer
Jira Maligool and Director Nattawat Poonpiriya cleverly plots and
build up intense emotions of fear and suspense before reaching the
climax of the story. Many twists (conflicts) were incorporated –
Unconventional Jesus as drug dealer, the little girl who is the
victim of the car accident and also the ending of the story.
My Thoughts on the Movie...
The
film provokes my thoughts on the questionable morals of our society
today, are we really doing what we preached, how have we contribute
back to our society etc.
Could
all these natural disasters today be the punishments to all who had
sinned?
4,
3, 2, 1...Are we counting down to the doomsday of us, mankind?
Is a great film and a pleasure surprise to me. The story sucks me in and when the theatre lights lit up, what I thought to myself was “So fast, the movie over?” not knowing that 1 hour 30 minutes had passed. Give it a 4 out of 5 stars!
Craving
to watch the film? I have prepared a short treat to the movie's
trailer – TaDa!
The
movie will be in cinemas on 21 Feb 2013. Make sure you are 18 before
purchasing the tickets as the film is M18. Cheers!
