The Victim: Pretty weak Thai horror
29 October 2017
Myself and Thai cinema have had a mostly good relationship over the years, though I've usually expected not to I've often enjoyed their works.

This horror effort is heavily influenced by the likes of The Ring (1998) and The Grudge (2002) but unlike them it doesn't come close to delivering.

Telling the story of an aspiring actress who finds fame through crime reenactments but becomes obsessed with one of the victims as a haunting/possession begins.

The movie does have its tense moments but they are handled so poorly that the impact is lost.

Interesting story, not the worst performances but the people behind the camera should perhaps go back to film school as those are the folk responsible for this lackluster mess.

The Good:

Some nice ideas

The Bad:

Deaths are ripped straight from The Ring (1998)

Badly directed/produced/edited

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Someone couldn't be bothered to come up with an original concept and just decided to remix several bits of Asian cinema
