Body 19 was a messy and convoluted affair. The starting premise is interesting but the plot becomes more and more confusing as the film progresses. The ending was lame and only further added to the uneven story line. The pacing was also an issue, as the story started to really drag around the halfway mark. The use of CGI was also a major detractor, making the creepy imagery appear comical instead of frightening. In most cases, I believe that special effects makeup would have worked better as the CGI looks extremely dated. One of the rare misses in Thai horror.

The story is quite intriguing, about a guy who had a nightmare or vision of a man mutilating a woman, and then the ghost of the woman haunts him, the guy thought she's asking him to find her, so he try to find her, that's pretty much it.
About the scare, I don't think it's creepy, not because for the cheap jumpscare but this film addicted to CGI, the ghost in CGI was just not it, even though the use of CGI gave an opportunity to make the death scenes to be kind of creative, but overall the CGI doesn't look good.

The twist... I almost got it right, it is what I imagined, but they kinda twisted it, and I didn't expect that. I knew the man is the murderer afterall, there's also hypnotize thing I consider but then... SHE CAN DO THAT?!!
