if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

A disappointingly uneventful Thai horror film about a group of unappealing characters, trapped in a haunted location and finding themselves at the mercy of various ghostly figures. The premise behind GHOST GAME sounds good – BATTLE ROYALE with a supernatural twist, perhaps – but the execution turns out to be lacklustre and muddled in equal measure. After the usual chit-chat and setup to the story, the characters are split up either singly or into pairs and then face repetitive encounters with grey-faced spirits.The film is billed as 'one of the most controversial' ever made; in Cambodia, maybe, where folk took exception to the former Khmer Rouge setting and banned the movie, but certainly nowhere else. In fact, it turns out to be rather predictable. The ghostly encounters are played for maximum scares, but never unsettled me for a moment; I've seen so many similar run-ins with spirits, zombies, etc. that I must have become rather jaded. The entire setup - with the shadowy locales, suspenseful music, and frightened actors - just feels passe, as if it's being performed by rote rather than with genuine enthusiasm.I didn't think much of the actors or indeed the director, either, and a script that's content to repeat rather than innovate just adds to the overall disappointing viewing experience. I don't know about the Thais, but I prefer my horror a little more sophisticated than in this predictable outing
give me SHUTTER any day!

+ three points for production values bigbrother with ghosts, kinda bad plot especially as the actors were basic teens... this movie could have been from dimension films... i didn't get scared... the ideas were that used. the use of bass, and mtv-style editing. sounds we're similar to everything you have seen before.nothing new... except that it's not made in California =D.the ghosts maybe scare kids, but to me a grown man whose seen a lot of crap, this movie made no impact.dull, boring, nothing new. another teen movie, with bass sounds with every scare =D

11 contestants sign up for a scary reality show which forces them to confronts the supernatural and their inner fears.They're brought to an ancient war museum in Cambodia,which was used as a Khmer Rogue prison twenty years before.Thousands of people were tortured and killed there during the Cambodian war in the 70's.Now the museum is abandoned and no one dares to step inside.The single winner of the show will be rewarded for 5 million Baht.Inspired by the big reward,they accept to risk their lives in the museum and soon they meet the real ghosts of the past..."Ghost Game" is occasionally effective horror flick that is also very confusing.The characters are one-dimensional and they generally only scream and argue with each other.The script lacks creativity and the ghostly apparitions quickly become boring.5 out of 10.

The movie itself is a failure, big time. Scare elements left me yawning (literally). The story has no real ending, and makes little sense. However, I do like the premise where the movie is based on, and the directing made the movie looks very much like a reality show. I find myself asking the same questions as I would while watching a reality show. The sound is nothing to shout about, but the sight is quite awesome. Set design was incredibly detailed and realistic. Lighting was especially good. However, costume design and make-up leaves a lot to be desired. Acting was incredibly lame. A good watch to waste your time, but I have better things to do and scarier movies to watch. Try Shutter if you can get your hands on it. One of the best Thai scary movie ever. In fact, with Shutter and Dorm, I'll say that Thai movies are beginning to play better than most Hollywood cash cows, but then Ghost Game came along and destroyed my conviction.
