Reviews
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Christopher This movie was put together well, written well, and performed well. The photography was better than many box office "smashes", and the story was emotionally affective and effective! The young cast (Arak Amornsupasiri as Phong,Vitsawa Thaiyanon as Kaa, Artikitt Prinkprom as Chi) performed admirably for the genre. The special effects were trim and did not distract but rather enhanced the overall appeal of this show. The cheesy aspect of the story of young victims receiving powers by which they can avenge themselves against there tormentors was vacated by it's being done to an emotionally charged crescendo. The opening scenes of the children being abused was shocking, terrible but ultimately underlay the seriousness of the whole movie. The subject was handled without apology. The song that Jarinya Sirimongkolsakul sings towards the end, as Kor-ya, was also effective. All in all it was emotionally satisfying, even sharable if it hits you the right way.
