Bua,
a pretty village girl, is considered an outcast because she cannot speak.
Even though Yod wants to marry her, his parents object because she's
mute [his mother asks: How can a mute handle the responsibilities of
a family?"]. Yod defies their wishes. He and Bua set up home in
a rural shack where they eke out an existence by fishing. However when
Bua goes into town, she's still the object of scorn, especially by thugs
who enjoy bullying her with sexual threats. One day, evil comes a'calling
when Chang and his two friends chase the couple into the woods. Bua
is raped and both are murdered. The bodies are buried in an unmarked
grave. But the killers soon become victims of 'supernatural' torment
and start to believe they are stalked by the ghost of the ravaged dead
girl.
This
incredible looking film comes from Thailand and it is truly a cinematographic
masterpiece by directors Moua Lee and Kao Chang. The story is an interesting
variation of I
SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE or THE
BEASTS set in a rural village where good and evil are merely
two sides of a coin. The violence is swift and shocking, as is the heartbreaking
sentiment underneath all the nastiness.
