Poon! Like literally just why?

Okay so first things first. This movie didn’t attract me by the cover or name. And had I watched sooner if i knew it was thai. I'm no new audience to thai entertainment, but thai movies are an exception. I just run after Hollywood horrors.

So when i saw Poon in the cast list 👀
I knew i had to give it a try!!
Cause? ........
Hell yeah bruhh your sis right here who just burned down the house while making a cake (almost) is a freaky sneaky .... ting ting ting.....
Guessed right ✅️ A BL FANNNNNNNNNN
so when i say i can watch all the movies with bl actors casted in them... I'm not kidding.

So yesterday I thought to give this movie a try cause I shot every other interesting looking horror on hotstar. And this one was free so ... why not?

Finally getting started with the review after my yapping (sorry 😔)

Okay so I watched this movie for Poon.
[Poon is a thai actor under gmmtv, a bl actor who worked in perfect 10. Liners with Perth and in my romance scammer with Ohm and in we are with Marc]
Yeah for the 3rd time 🙄 sorry
I watched it for him only to realize in the very few minutes that HE IS DEAD!!! Great 👍
Then i thought yeah he'd probably be the ghost sure why not.. right?...
Again! No!!
The only camera work and appearance he had was of his character named Mac with just the pictures!!!!.. atleast they shoud have shown the backstory. But then the story wasn’t even about him like not even the slightest. He was just there to distract the plot and build a disturbing plot hole.

So yeah this part was sad.
But anyways what's more unsettling to me is his character Mac had incest with his sister. If you don't know...just Google it like I did.
That was disturbing for me.
The main character who could be the savior, died. Like just died literally? In sleep? On the day before ceremony ?? Of all days?.
The acting of Mink was really good. I could genuinely feel the creepiness and jumpscares when she was on camera.
I'm looking forward to watching more of her works.
Noi's character had a good depth but left me messy . Maybe she was just too guilty.
Also Wiroj and his ancestral line?.. i don't get that part.
Like the story had so many links interlinked. The ancestral curse, the incest between siblings, the faith of Ba yan and also at the end it was like nothing? No godess just empty faith? So many spirits caught her without any purpose? The stroy was overall on faith and deeds. But i think instead of so many small confusing dots they could have chosen a single plot twist. Like Nim not actually dying and Ba yan's energy actually saving everyone. Or even without god they could have saved someone.
Everyone just died. Like that.
Also i couldn't understand why Manit's wife opened the door. Like the cameraman actually showed us her baby sleeping in the crib. Why'd she do that. Was that intentional or was she possessed?

Weird thing is ' the cameraman never dies '... didn't work here. The cameraman/men actually ended up dying. Like all of them...brutally.
I enjoyed it regardless of how little i could understand.
Ofcourse I'm no expert i just enjoy watching horror and bl.. so combined.. boom.
It was a good one for sure might watch it again with friends. The culture, faith, happening, quite similar to indian culture. Can relate.
Half way through the story and I was thinking to watch it with family or cousins. But then the cctv clip...AHEMm... Hell nah bruh. Glad i watched it alone.
But would surely watch it with my cousin sisters on some movie might.
Overall you can give it a try. Some might actually like it. But atleast give it a one time watch.
