First of all, the good thing about this Thailand movie is that you can watch it in English.It seems like Asian cinema is going back to the making awesome horror films. Asian Horror was ruling with films like: The Eye, A Tale of Two Sisters, Phone, Shutter, One Missed Call, Re-cycle, Alone, Ju-on, Ringu and Dark Water. They hit a slump with movie after movie of the long-haired female ghost claiming victims. They have recaptured the spotlight with films like: Epitaph, Hansel & Gretel and Death Bell. The Coffin looks awesome. It is nice to see the gorgeous Karen Mok in a serious role.
Anyways, check it yourself.
