Title: The Coffin โลงต่อตาย
Director: Eakkachai Aueklongdhram
Release Date in Thailand: 21st August 2008
Official Website: www.lhongtortai.com

Many Thai people believe that lying down in a coffin is a part of the death-before-dying ritual to prolong one’s life by playing dead. Chris (Ananda Everingham), an architect who is extremely claustrophobic but with hope to lengthen his girlfriend’s (Aki Shibuya)life, Chris decides to overcome his fear by being in the coffin. Zoe (Karen Mok), a nutritionist, takes care of her health religiously. However, only 2 weeks before marrying her fiancé (Andrew Lin), Zoe finds out that she’s in the final stage of lung cancer. Zoe then runs away to Thailand and discovers the coffin ceremony and decides to participate in order to save her own life. Chris and Zoe are confronted by a series of paranormal and terrifying incidents. Both might have to sacrifice their lives to unfold the truth.

****-
I saw this and luckily it had English subtitles in it. This movie makes the most of the 'make you jump out of your seat' moments of any movie I have ever seen. My friend jumped and screamed (as did the audience) repeatedly. Some very creepy moments, but the ending was also sad as my friend cried (I'm not exactly sure what happened but something to do with the Chris character finding out some shocking revelations about the spirit haunting him). Overall a good movie.

Don't waste your time and money on this movie. It's a total let down. Two thumps down. Go watch it if you want to end up sleeping in the theater.

What I hated most about this movie is when the lead actor repeatedly running across the wild to catch up with the 'ghost'.
I can tell ya, no1's concentrating on the movie in the cinema. They were like chatterboxes throughout.
'Thanks' to my friend i've to watch this flop & try to keep my eyes open.
