Colic (DVD) (English Subtitled) (Taiwan Version) DVD Region 3

Seemingly the perfect couple, Prae (Pimpan Chalaikupp) and Pong (Vittaya Wasukraipaisan) recently tied the knot after an unexpected pregnancy, but their married life is already beginning to show cracks. With Pong working long hours, Prae is left home alone with newborn Pan who simply won't stop crying. The doctor says it's a case of colic, but when strange things begin happening around the house, Prae starts to believe that the baby's crying is indicative of something a lot more sinister.

Directed by Patchanon Thammajira, Colic is the rare horror that not only plays for screams, but also for substance. Though the film has its moments of gore and goosebumps, the feeling of unsettled fear that permeates the film comes from not only supernatural scares, but also human insecurities, and director Thammajira lets the two play off each other with subtle character studies and effective storytelling.
