Oh dear, my bad experiences with Thai cinema continue.

By the title you'd likely assume a zombie feature but no here we have something altogether different and I'm left thinking a zombie movie would have been more preferable.

It tells the story of a gang who botch their escape from a bank robbery. Taking a young hostage they flee on the first train they see only to question what they've gotten themselves into. Yes that's right this is a ghost themed film.

The start was actually very hopeful it managed to get my attention, had a great soundtrack and I liked the idea of a haunted train. Sadly it goes downhill fast after around the first third for a whole host of reasons.

For a start the tone is off, this is not supposed to be a comedy yet we have one outright comedy character and several others too goofy too be taken seriously. Then lets talk about the sfx, yikes! They're really bad, highly amateurish stuff which goes hand in hand with the dreadful camera quality which goes grainy whenever things get dark (Which is frequent).

So it looks terrible, the tone is all over the place and the plot? Disjointed and gradually it makes less and less sense the more it's explained (Somehow!).

Alas it doesn't find its feet again, it gets gradually more and more confusing until the very underwhelming finale.

I went into this with high hopes about the concept and fingers crossed that Thai cinema would surprise me for a change. I expected SO much more.

The Good:

Starts strong

Interesting idea

The Bad:

Poor camera quality

Weirdly imbalanced tone

Weak CGI

Ridiculous fight scenes

Thai cinema blends spirituality, folklore, and experimental techniques, producing films that balance mystical introspection with popular entertainment. It stands out in Southeast Asia for its inventiveness and range, spanning from lyrical slow cinema to inventive genre-blending films that seamlessly weave in horror, romance, and social critique with unique narrative styles rooted in Thai tradition.
