Body from Thailand is part of the  well-known horror film tradition from East and South-East Asia, where supernatural phenomena created by horrifying visual effects and sudden noises make us shudder. Japanese films like Ringu, The Grudge and One missed call seem to be the inspiration for director Paween Purikitpanya, yet the debutant is not afraid of going his own ways.

Body is not simply a horror movie but also has the surprising effects of enigmatic murder mysteries and psychological thrillers as we know them from Hollywood. The East Asian flavour is nevertheless unmistakable and Puritkitpanya and his special effects team offer spectacular violence and other shocking events.

Creepy. Visuelt veldig bra. Men det er vel på tide å tenke litt i nye baner rundt 'antagonisten', som visuelt heller ikke ble så bra gjennomført. Sett bort ifra dette så var det en film som følger godt i sporene til andre asiatiske gysere. Anbefales.

Denne likte jeg! Selv om jeg har sett det samme plottet i et utall grøssere, var dette meget godt håndverk. Anbefales!
