Beatriz Maldivia Espinof The story itself is not worth much, but it is almost the best it has. The actors are bad. [Full Review in Spanish] Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The imagery shows how close to nature people live in these small Thai villages, with realistic special effects, including characters chewing on red vegetables. As a Buddhist folk tale, this story shows the psychological, or spiritual, hazards of hanging on. If you can get past the gold wedding band that probably is the value of ten villages of that size and everyone's gorgeous hair, it's an interesting film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a good movie, especially considering its based on the true story (folklore) of Mae Nak Phra Khanong. It gets a bit confusing at first but then clears itself up when his friend comes to tell Mak that he's living with ghosts. From there on out its a straightforward movie. What's also fun is seeing how another culture/religion (Buddhism) deals with ghosts. The acting and direction are good, the cinematography is amazing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Me aburrió la temática, no me la vi. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I'd never heard of this legend until just recently. It definitely tugs at the heartstrings. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Dull. Romantic / emotional aspect is overwrought and unconvincing. The horror story seems simply random. Jumping between scenes and times didn't help. Acting is fairly unconvincing, in keeping with the emotional content. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member excellent film what is it about ghost. It's a beautiful love story about a man and his ghost wife and child. very interesting subtitled. It is listed as a horror story. Now down to the basics, beautifully shot, nicely edited, and mechanically well done Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
