My thoughts on “Coming soon”

Coming soon is a Thai horror movie made in 2008 which just got released now, I can call it a hardcore horror movie, you get scared many times, and their also some funny parts in it, the movie’s storyline isn’t the greatest however it’s a great movie to get someone scared (like myself) which i woke up after just two hours of sleep when  saw the movie, because it has this Deja-vu-ish experience which transfers the situation to the watcher.

The movie is about a guy called Shane which works at a cinema and is into the piracy business because he desperately needs money, the beginning is a bit confusing (especially if you don’t know Thai) about a new movie movie was coming soon about an old woman which takes her children’s eyes out and that she gets hanged by the citizens of her city as soon as they find out.

Shane feels haunted by this woman so he starts to research about it and he finds out that the movie was based on a real story and the actual real-life woman wasn’t the problem, the person which was haunting him was the actress of the movie which got hanged accidentally in the shooting of the movie which still got published.

They’res this whole lingo between reality – nightmares – jokes and so on, a usual movie which haunts you and kills you like in the ring, however the ring is very soft compared to this. However i think it’s a good movie to get yourself and your friends scared, but it’s not art, i feel that the story narration is a bit superficial, you feel that the movie is already getting long in about 2/3 of the total time however the movie is just 84 minutes long however they’res rather a lot of stuff to tell and they can’t highlight the most important parts.

You really get into the storyline  especially if you watch the movie at the cinema, however the tape won’t really kill you My first impression was, damn this movie was sucky/disappointed me however after a few hours of being able to process everything i think its a good movie, i can’t wait for a high-budget american remake of it which might be better, even if the latest american remakes of horror movies weren’t that great like Spanish REC vs. Quarantine

I’d give the movie a 7 out of 10
