YesAsia Editorial Description
Sometimes, the truth is scarier than ghosts...
Directed by Tharatap Thewsomboon, atmospheric Thai horror Spiritual World slowly gets under the skin with the story of a troubled young woman being haunted by the ghosts of the past. Ever since she was a little girl, Ming (Nuttamonkan Srinikornchot) has been able to see ghosts. Wandering between the living and the dead, she encounters beckoning spirits and mysterious spectres no matter where she goes. For the past 15 years, Ming has constantly moved from one place to another in order to escape a ghost that has been following her. One day, childhood friend Buud (Anuchit Sapanpong) suddenly shows up, and asks for her help to find out the truth behind his father's death. Buud's appearance awakens Ming's buried memories, including vague recollections of the ghost that has been chasing after her.

Brilliant psychological Thai ghost horror
|
With a fantastic freaky opener I got a strong impression this psychological ghost horror was going to be good. Which it certainly is, with intense acting and incredibly frightening surreal cinematography, puts this Thai terror fest on par with Korean horrors like “Hansel and Gretel” and “The Tale of Two Sisters”. Yes, it’s really that good! Actress Nuttamonkan Srinikornchot is brilliant as the highly disturbed Ming as too is Anuchit Sapanpong as her equally disturbed childhood friend Buud. The horror is played out in a terrifying and disturbing nightmare world, amazingly kept tight to its plot outcome and fastens you right up inside the surreal madness up until the final end release. Ming can see ghosts of the dead in the spiritual world and plagued for 15 years by visions of a pursing ghost ‘monster’. Ming’s horror manifested after a childhood trauma had caused Ming to block it from her mind (mental denial replaced by false memories) and she perpetually flees the ‘ghost monster’ of her forgotten childhood by moving from one location to another. But as Ming lodges at a boarding room where a murder had took place, Ming is forced to pursue the truth behind her inner demons and her dark blocked out childhood memory. Buud, determined to find the truth behind his father’s death, learns of the whereabouts of his childhood friend Ming at a sanatorium, and eventually finds himself sharing past horrors with her. Visuals and atmosphere are hauntingly surreal, frighteningly intense with psychological imagery very intelligently and intricately used. Sometimes oddly scenic and beautiful. With terrifying apparitions and a grisly hospital of blooded corpses, all reflect Ming and Buud's overwhelming post traumatic disturbances. Their chilling isolated terror is acutely felt and the lost state of place between worlds is incredibly haunting. It’s a crazy train ride through a nightmare world of dead spirits and deeply disturbed minds for the whole 102 minutes. Hellish indeed. But by the conclusion this fractured nightmare scenario eventually comes into clear plain sight. “The Spiritual World” could top “Shutter” and is as powerful as Korean horror “Hansel and Gretel”. It'll be too traumatic for some, so I’ll warn of the psychological horror intensity. I nearly weed myself with this. But all finalizes in a human story of forgiveness and saving grace. One of the best Thai horrors of high intensity rarely seen in Asian movies. Scary! |
