Viewing Notes

Pretty dopey plot around a suicide forest in Thailand. I suppose there is a reason that the Far East is obsessed with this phenomenon. Probably the 5th or 6th Asian movie I’ve seen about a suicide forest. Not a good story but attractive cast led by Shu Qi and Ekin Cheng. In fact, I rented this from Netflix for Shu Qi. Interesting to see her in material like this now after her recent accolades for THE ASSASSIN.
