Opinions wanted on Thai horror DVDs
 

I did a search on DVDTalk, but came up with virtually nothing on various Thai horror movies. I currently have seen Body Jumper and recently purchased it along with 999-9999. I am now interested in seeing other Thai horror (and fantasy) titles, but I really haven't found much information on them. I've read a couple of reviews, but they haven't been much help.

For the record, I think I'll pass on Nang Nak and Bangkok Haunted, two titles that I have found enough information on to base my decision. The former seems a little too romantic and not enough horror; the latter seems too long and boring without enough scares.

Here's the list I've composed. Any reviews, opinions, etc. would be great! :)


Krasue (a.k.a. Demonic Beauty)

Here are a few reviews:

Thanks. I should have mentioned that site in my post. I'm familiar with those reviews. They are rather brief though. I was hoping for some input from the wise folks here at DVDTalk. :)

Calling gutwrencher... :D

Thanks to Fangoria's forums and a member's reply to my post there, I have a link for a review site that has covered some Thai horror films: www.mjsimpson.co.uk . Here are the Thai reviews on the site:

* Bizarre teen horror comedy BODY JUMPER
* Amazing flying-head-dragging-entrails historical fantasy DEMONIC BEAUTY (a.k.a. KRASUE)
* Nonzee (Three) Nimibutr’s tear-jerking romantic horror NANG NAK
* Undocumented snake-woman movie NGOO KENG KONG
* Uneven but impressive giant snake-girl horror movie THE POISON
* Jaw-dropping serpent-woman fantasy SNAKER (Thai/Cambodian co-prod)
* Excellent Pacific rim horror anthology THREE (Thai/HK/Korean co-prod)

I'll most likely get Krasue, The Poison and Three from the list of his reviews. I might purchase Nang Nak anyway after reading his thorough review.

If you have any interest in Thai horror, I'd recommend checking out his reviews. Beware of spoilers though. :)
