Did anyone else think this film was lame??

I still haven’t seen it! I’ve got it on hold at the library (why they have that and not A Tale of Two Sisters is beyond me, but whatever….)

What’s wrong with it? (Without spoilers, if you don’t mind.)

I can’t point out exactly what’s wrong with it. Maybe it was just too corny? Maybe it’s the lame attempt at trying to match every other Asian film about dead girls with too much hair?

The ending was fairly predictable, although rather confusing because it has a “twist” to it (not particularly a good one either), and the dubbed voices had me rolling on the floor laughing.

Oh no…dubbing?! Really?! Oh well, at least I haven’t paid for it.

And thanks for the other two suggestions! I’ll have a look at them.

P.S.

Also try Art of the Devil and Art of the Devil II. They’re also Thai. They are a tad bit better than Mae Nak. The films remind me of a generic, Thai version of a Takashi Miike film because they’re so gory =P
