Inhuman Kiss (2019)

I cannot believe what a beautiful movie this turned out to be. I started watching it because I was in the mood to watch something scary. Instead what I got was a beautiful story, a heart-wrenching romance, and stunning production. This movie defied my expectations at every turn. I always expected the worst to happen, but what this movie taught me is not to expect the worst out of human beings. It showed me that even in our darkest moments, we can find kindness within ourselves.

Hands off to the Thai movie industry. Seriously. If this same film was made anywhere else, the characters who were redeemed would never have been redeemed anywhere else. Every character has a part to play, no role is minor. The chemistry between all of the main leads, not just the romantic duo, was beautiful and believable. The friendship, the family values, the romance, and the empathy of this film simply blew my mind.

I excepted the Karsue to be the source of horror and jump scares. I never excepted to empathize the most with a floating head and viscera.

Watch this movie. You will not regret it.

Not your normal scare your pants off horror movie. So if you get scared easily, don’t worry about that with this movie. Think of think as a supernatural thriller/romance flick with a touch of Thai style horror tossed into it. The story is solid, certainly worth the nearly 2 hour movie length but, the pacing is a tad slow. I can’t help think that they could have cut 15-20 min and still had the same effect. Acting is good and believable. Music is your typical horror/thriller/romance variety - appropriate in terms of timing and adding to the scene. Rewatch value is just ok, 2-hours is a huge time investment to re-watch a movie. There will be no “Sixth Sense” or “The Blue Hour” (an earlier Oabnithi stared movie) stumper where you need to watch again to figure it all out. Overall it’s a solid movie that’s worth watching. Don’t worry, it’s not a straight up horror movie so if that’s keeping you from watching, don’t let it.
