A decent Thai horror film that is doused in local folklore. It was a well-known film back in the day, but for some reason, I never got around to watching it. Seeing this film 25 years later, it's normal that some of the novelty value has dissipated, but it's still a proper horror for fans of Asian horror cinema.
Ghosts, local religions, and a little personal drama are the ingredients for this film. The setting is nice, the presentation is solid, and the pacing is good. The film is never all that scary, though, and things could've been a little tenser. Not a bad film, but I'm pretty sure I would've liked it better if I'd seen it back in the day.
