Well, I will start out by saying that "Coming Soon" (aka "Program na winyan akat") is definitely a horror movie that proved to be entertaining and interesting. So if you enjoy Thai horror movies, then "Coming Soon" is most certainly a movie well worth checking out.
This was my second time of watching it, after having seen it back around the time when it was initially released. And while I had actually completely forgotten the movie, then it proved to be a movie that can be watched again.
The storyline in "Coming Soon" is one of ordinary regular horror, but at the same time then writers Sophon Sakdaphisit, Chanajai Tonsaithong and Kongkiat Khomsiri actually managed to put enough of a twist to the storyline so that the movie stood out and wasn't just another run-of-the-mill average horror movie.
I liked the twist to the storyline, and no, of course I am not going to give it away here. But it proved to be enough of an unforeseen plot twist that it was actually a nice reveal once it came about.
Visually then "Coming Soon" was a nice refreshing deviation away from the stereotypical horror movies, where you have a young girl dressed in a pure, white dress, with her long, black hair covering her face. Instead, you have a wrinkled, disfigured and deformed crone haunting the screen. And it worked. Oh yeah, it worked. Especially so, since the make-up department really worked their magic with the special effects and make-up.
The acting in the movie was good, and actor Chantavit Dhanasevi (playing Shane) carried the movie quite well with his performance.
All in all, "Coming Soon" is a good horror movie, and it is one that I can warmly recommend you taking the time to watch, if you have the time, and if you enjoy Thai horror movies.
My rating of "Coming Soon" lands on a six out of ten stars.
