The Whole Truth

Wisit Sasanatieng used to be one of the most talented Thai directors, this Netflix project feels more like the work of a director earning his paycheck. It's a decent enough horror flick, but not too different from what we've come to expect from the genre. And in the 20s, you need more to stand out.

A mother of two is involved in a car accident and ends up in the hospital. Her two kids stay with their grandparents while their mom's in a coma. There they discover a strange hole in the wall. Peering through it, they can see a different world. The odd thing is that their grandparents aren't able to see the hole.

Asian horror means trauma from the past, and The Whole Truth sticks to the conventions rather neatly. The build-up is slow, the haunts aren't that scary anymore, but the direction is decent and the second half does have a few solid horror scenes. Decent filler, only not a very memorable film.
