I can’t say I have a vast knowledge, or much knowledge at all of Thai action films, but I was excited to check this latest one out – Kitty the Killer.
Now, of course, action movies have never gone away. They’ve been around forever but it feels like ever since John Wick, the revenge action film has been more popular than ever, and therefore, more and more are getting made. And Kitty the Killer has some similarities with John Wick and plenty of other popular action movies.
There is a revenge story here (although no dog this time), and there is a ‘Guardian’ of the killer (or killers) – another thing that has been popularized lately, see Killing Eve, The Kingsman, etc., and there are plenty of fight scenes.

The current slate of Thailand-based horror films hasn’t produced much in terms of stand-out offerings ever since the classic “Nang Nak” arrived just over twenty years ago. While there’s been a slew of fare released in the intervening years full of enjoyable spooks and chills, that landmark film has rarely been approached much less topped by the country’s output, outside of the stellar “Krasue: Inhuman Kiss” from 2018. Now, first-time feature director Lee Thongkham offers the next great Thai genre effort with this fantastic new offering which is widely available around the world via Netflix.
A new housemaid named Joy (Ploy Sornarin) begins working in a luxurious mansion owned by Uma (Savika Chaiyadej), a wealthy woman, and Nirach (Theerapat Sajakul), her husband. They have a young daughter named Nid (Keetapat Pongrue) who is forbidden from leaving the house, and who has been diagnosed with a mental illness due...

It’s difficult to know what to make of Lee Thongkam’s third feature. It’s incredibly derivative, lifting plot elements and set pieces wholesale from the likes of The Handmaiden and American Psycho. It blends creepiness rooted in Thai tradition with second-rate jump scares, before finally coming alive with scenes of carnage which, though hardly original, are at least committed – and yet for all that, it feels less like a horror film than like a telenovela. If you go to see it, go for the costumes and the set design. There it excels.
Joy (Ploy Sornarin) is a demure teenager who arrives at a luxurious mansion to take up work as a maid. She is also expected to work as a nanny to Lady Nid (Keetapat Pongrue), a young girl whom, she is told, has a neurological variation which causes her to hallucinate. Viewers will immediately be suspicious about this,...
