Right, well I didn't have a clue as to what I was in for here, aside from "The One Hundred" being a Thai thriller. But I would deem this movie more of a horror movie than it was a thriller. But that is just a minor detail.
When I stumbled upon "The One Hundred" here, late in 2022, of course I opted to watch it, on account of it being a Thai movie that I hadn't already seen. And as I had never heard about it, prior to watching it, then I didn't know what I was getting myself into
Writers and directors Pakphum Wongjinda and Chalit Krileadmongkon managed to put together a fair enough script here. Yeah, it was pretty generic and straight forward, even for a creature feature. However, I have to say that the script was fairly weak, and "The One Hundred" does not require the audience to be overly alert while watching the movie.
The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, taking into consideration that the actors and actresses didn't exactly have the most layered script or character gallery to work with.
The special effects in "The One Hundred" were fair enough. Not spectacular special effects that will blow you away, but they served the movie well enough.
Now, what bothered me the most about "The One Hundred", was the fact that there simply was not point to the storyline. I mean, the movie came and went without leaving a lasting mark, and it was hardly a memorable or outstanding foray into the Thai horror genre. But there was just something hollow and lacking about the entire ordeal that is "The One Hundred".
While it was watchable, it is hardly a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time, nor is it a movie that I would recommend to fans of the Thai horror cinema.
My rating of "The One Hundred" lands on a three out of ten stars.
