An Interesting Horror Mystery!
I decided to watch this movie because Up and Phuwin were in it.
The story begins with Phuwin's character, Term, arriving on an island to look for his brother, Tee, who has become a monk. Upon arriving, Term is told by the monks that Tee killed the abbot and fled. Unconvinced that his brother could do such a thing, Term decides to investigate the island.
Meanwhile, Up's character, Tae, is an autistic and pure-hearted young man living at the island's temple. He helps out at the temple and the fishing port. Term befriends Tae, and together they investigate the temple. The island has a strong faith in a statue called the god Phor Pu, which is enshrined in the temple. There is also a custom on the island of placing a part of a deceased person's ashes into a clay statue called Hun Payont. When Term finds the villagers' fanatical belief strange and breaks a part of the statue, terrifying events start to occur one after another.
The first half of the story isn't that scary, and it’s somewhat unclear what’s happening. Several similar events repeat themselves. Just when you think the movie is only trying to startle the audience, the twist at the end surprises you. The story's value emerges when you see the ending.
The performances of Up and Phuwin were as excellent as expected. Up's acting, in particular, was outstanding. Additionally, Emi, who played Mina, was fantastic. I didn't realize she was on the movie poster! Her portrayal of a woman possessed by a curse was truly eye-catching.
Watching the movie a second time, with the knowledge of what happens, will likely be more enjoyable than the first viewing. I plan to watch it again.
