The Spiritual World - Life of Death

You may or may not know a Thai movie called "The Spiritual World". If you are a horror movie fan or nerd, you should really watch it. The movie does have sudden scary moments, yes. But it also has a wicked atmosphere that keeps you jittery and feeling oppressed throughout. And that is what a lot of horror movies lack. This movie is dark and "ugly". Both thematically and visually.

What Asian horror movies do well is give their ghosts or monsters a purpose and a meaning. This movie is in fact the journey of a very tortured young woman caught in a very frightening situation of seeing things which she has no idea why she is seeing.

SYNOPSIS: Ming is an ordinary girl who can contact the dead since she was young. It has been fifteen years that she tries to escape from a mysterious ghost that keeps following her. She meets a young doctor named Budd who visits her to find out the reason behind the death of his father. He believes that his father was murdered. The arriving of Budd brings back the terrible memory in the past of Ming's life. Now she is going to face the truth that is more terrible than the ghosts.
