My Comments: We are at e@Curve today and of course it's yet another movie outings for both of us. This time around, we have selected a Thai movie and this is the first time in my life I've watched a Thai movie and it has to be a Thai comedy cum horror movie. Introducing the movie called Pee Mak. This movie in particular concentrate mostly on comedy and I can guarantee you that it's suitable for you to watch as it has about 80% of laughter and 20% of minor horror scenes only. The build up of this story is good and it's pretty simple to understand. It talks about a soldier who had gone for battle leaving a pregnant wife at home and she died mysteriously. Then when he is on the way home, he did not know she is dead until one moment he realize it. Accompanied by a bunch of friends (whose all of them are very very funny as well) who came back together with him, they too find the soldier wife behave mysteriously and they are also on a mission to find out too. This movie also touches on the romance segment and almost at the end of this movie, you can actually see some sad and teary romance scenes as well. Starring the famous Thai actor and actress such as Mario Maurer and the model actress Thai-Belgium borned Davika Hoorne, this movie is a must watch for all of you as it's funny. What I wanted to say about Davika Hoorne is that she's gorgeous in this movie despite her role as a ghost. I would recommend you to watch this Thai language movie that comes with English / Malay / Chinese subtitle and I guarantee you will enjoy it. Just treat this movie as a more comedy movie instead of horror movie. Enjoy the movie. MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5
