this be show a part of the 59th edinburgh international festival and though for reason best leave to the power that be . a lot seem to have be make of the fact that it the first thai language film and make with thai actor and crew and but direct by a westerner . needn not have bother to be honest and a this film be dull and dull and dull . why hint at something and why shroud an idea in mystery and why subtly invoke a feeling and when you can hammer the point home with terrible voice over and obvious shot and over the top scene > nothing be leave to the imagination a time and time again director spurrier clumsily churn out endless clichés . no hinting and no guessing and it all up on screen and no need to use our imagination . wonder when the cary bit be come . no you wont and cause the soundtrack will get more and more intimidating and rise to a crescendo of ominously . hell and i be make up word to describe how bad this be . wonder whether the conjured demon be real or imaginary . why tax yourself it really be a snake and and yes it really be bite his crotch and and there blood splattering everywhere . it a strange and uneasy film for several reason . it suppose to be a horror film and but it not scary the jolt be signpost and obvious . it might be a scathing attack on the seedy side of thailand and yet the director have a sleazy and lubricious style when it come to show barely pubescent teen . maybe it be cast himself a the virginity take westerner that plant the seed of doubt in my head . or maybe the whole thing be just pant . uninspired and insipid and repetitive and hackneyed all candidate for best description and but dull seem most appropriate and honest . it all be see before and probably well and often with more thought and rarely with less imagination or flare . sorry . thumb down on every count . truly dire .
