The first story, "Lonely", tells the story of the heroine who was in a car accident for the rest of her life, dragged and hit 3 times by herself. Legs in lunar casts recuperate in their apartment, doing nothing. One day, I suddenly received a text message from a strange man, saying that he wanted to get to know her, so he slowly became acquainted with her. Later, she found out that the man had already passed away, and wanted to come to her. She felt very panicked, and finally fell from the building and died. At this time, the hearse for the man's funeral also happened to drive slowly in front of her body. .But the intersection of the fates of the two actually started more than three months ago in the car accident... Since I have read Copen's film review before, I know that there is only the heroine's cry of fear behind the story in this story. Vibrating sounds and some background sounds without a single dialogue at all, relying entirely on the heroine's one-man show to support the whole story, so I paid special attention to the heroine's performance at that time, and I felt that although there is still room for improvement, it is still good overall. Emotional transformation is also in place. Although the foreshadowing of sending and receiving text messages in the first ten minutes was a little monotonous, it really matched the development of the later story, making the vibration of the mobile phone the most terrifying sound in this story. The only thing that baffles me about the whole story is why the ghost of the man kills the heroine. When the man received the text message of his girlfriend breaking up, he ran across the road in a hurry and was killed by the heroine's taxi (the taxi also overturned), and the seriously injured heroine was lying next to the man who was about to die in the moment before falling into a coma. Looking at each other, this is the starting point of their intersection. But at first I really didn't figure out if this is the motive of the man's ghost asking for the heroine's life? ? Later, I suddenly thought of a text message he sent to the heroine, "I've been alone for 100 days, so lonely", so I seem to understand that his motive is the theme of this story "loneliness", maybe it's too lonely to live in the world , so I always want to grab something to stay by my side, maybe a friend, maybe a lover, but the man had lost his lover before he died, so he had to take the last girl he saw before he died, so that he could Don't be alone, don't be so lonely...
The second story, "Death Reminder", tells the story of a cowardly student who looks like a poor family and is bullied by a group of ruffian students in the school (beaten, thrown from the moving carriage, etc., it's really miserable), Then he killed the students who bullied him by casting a spell (note, not bowing his head) (there was a girl who didn't die, but it might as well be dead). Compared with the previous "Lonely", the tone of this story is twilight and dark, and the camera shakes obviously, which brings out a feeling of unease, and at the same time, it is very wonderful and gives me a kind of vitality that is like the kind of despair in the youth cruel movie. The feeling of restlessness, and this story is the bloodiest of the four stories in the whole film (although the bloody level is average compared to other Thai horror movies), the steel pipe neck, the headshot and the only surviving girl at the end ping holding her own hands The dug out eyes cry and laugh... But the plot of this story is a little old-fashioned, there are not many surprises, and the three ghosts made with CG don't feel very good. But it surprised me a little bit, and it is also ironic that (in times of crisis, people's will to survive is really strong), in order not to be killed by the spell, the girl named Ping (the victim must see the notebook with her own eyes) "I see you" written on it) even gouged out his eyeballs, crying and laughing and saying "they can't take me away again".
The third story, "The Middleman", is the most lively (it can be said to be hilarious) atmosphere of the four stories and absolutely wonderful (without losing the horror), and I even think it is a bit comedy (sweat!). Four good friends made an appointment to go camping. On the first night, the four lay in the tent and chatted. A joked that "if I die, I will come back to find the person sleeping in the middle". During the next day's whitewater rafting, their kayak capsized, and A went missing unexpectedly. The three searched hard to no avail. They camped on the shore that night because no one wanted to sleep in the middle because of what A said the night before. In the middle of the night, A returned unexpectedly, but the three of them gradually discovered that things were different... The story is so exciting that I am reluctant to tell the ending of this story, and leave it to you to watch it for yourself. I can take responsibility for saying that the ending was absolutely unexpected and quite brilliant. This story is a very clever combination of comedy elements and horror elements, which can make people laugh when they watch it, but also make their heart beat faster and their backs get chills. In the film, several good friends joke about all kinds of ghost movies, and even spoof the scene where the female ghost rides on the male lead in "Ghost Shadow", which is plagiarized from "Titanic" (of course not true), so that People couldn't help laughing, I even thought they found out that the returned A was a ghost and were so frightened that they ran away with joy (the whole story was almost seen as a comedy by me). The director showed his thoughts on the usual mode of ghost films today, and through the words of perk in the story, he expressed the confusion of most audiences about the usual mode of ghost films: "Why are ghosts all women, long hair fluttering, and can't see faces?" , believes that this female ghost mode has caused the audience to have aesthetic fatigue, so the need for some different ghosts to join is the way out for ghost films to get out of the bottleneck (this film is indeed practiced like this). And what I find interesting is that A said to everyone at the end, "I'm still your friend, right?" and others tremblingly agreed to "um" (all said that the ending was unexpected, don't guess, yourself Go see it, don't think of it as "Ghost Dormitory").
The fourth story, "Flight 224", tells the story of pim, the only flight attendant who escorted the body of Princess Sophia from the Kingdom of Sabantanya back to China, facing the body alone in the claustrophobic cabin space, and strange events keep happening... ...after the plane landed, the staff who got on board found pim's body lying next to the seat of the princess' body... As copen said in his movie review before, this story is somewhat far-fetched, and I also agree with copen The list is far-fetched (only one thing I disagree with is that pim called the captain when he found out that the princess's body was missing, but the captain thought she was messing around and ignored it), but there is no denying that the story is very exciting, playing pim's actress Ploy's performance is spot on and excellent. Especially the scene where Pim was tied to the seat and cried out because of fear, completely showed the despair and fear of the woman. Although the princess who is still alive in the first part of the story always treats pim arrogantly and viciously (pim is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she secretly uses her high heels to stir the princess's coffee), and when she dies, she becomes a ghost and tortures pim with fear. Killing pim, but the real pity is the princess - the husband of the prince who has been married for less than a year has already married a new love, and there are rumors that she is about to lose power, and the third person who brings her betrayal and pain is pim... In love, a woman can become an angel or a demon. The princess was tortured and twisted by tragic love, she wanted revenge, she wanted to avenge the pim who took her love away. The suggestive words the princess said when she looked at pim's ring and the scene where she looked back and stared at pim with bloodshot eyes before leaving, seemed to foreshadow what happened to pim later - a third party must kill her with death Apologize for that love...
Throughout the film, everyone's fate is more or less implicated in their previous words and deeds, which is also the causal death that Thailand ghost films love most. The film is excellent overall, and has a lot to offer. It's worth watching. Even if you're not intimidated by it, you'll be amazed at how fun it is! !
To paraphrase a netizen’s words to describe the inspiration after watching this movie: Don’t text strangers casually, don’t bully others, don’t go camping casually, don’t be a third party or do not be alone in a room with your rival...( Purely hilarious)

After watching this movie last night, I started writing this review in the early hours of this morning, and I felt more and more hairy in the middle of writing, and my back was chilled. It took about 20 hours before and after.
I am really thankful to capen for staying up all night to translate this film and release the subtitles. The versions circulating on the Internet are almost all translated by capen. information, strongly condemned here)
