~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

The Coffin (2008)

Director: Ekachai Uekrongtham

Premise:
Two people follow a Thai customer of sleeping in a coffin to trick death. After the ritual, they both start seeing the ghosts of their loved ones and try to figure out why.

My Take:
This was a straight forward ghost tale. Nothing overly dramatic or scary or really new here. That doesn't make it a bad movie but not one I'll watch again.
Maybe it resonated more with the viewers in Thailand.

Rating: In the middle
