A beautiful
nurse discovers evidence of a former life when she starts working at an
old hospital. She also stimulates a curse that transforms her into a deadly
krasue [a hungry witch with a flying head and dangling guts]. An
extraordinary horror movie from filmmaker Yuthlert Sippapak, the director
of RAHTREE:
FLOWER OF THE NIGHT, HEAVEN
AND HELL and KILLER
TATTOO.
Award-winning
director Yuthlet Sippapak was born on November 8, 1966 in Loei Thailand.
He began making movies in 2001 [with the aforementioned KILLER
TATTOO] and luckily found International fame with that one. As
his work continued, Mr Sippapak became known for his breezy, tongue-in-cheek
style of horror/comedy. Interestingly, when the studio hired him for a
Valentine Holiday film, he delivered the darkest movie of his career.
This movie was toxic at the boxoffice, shocking and repelling for the
romantics in the audience. In an interview, Mr Sippapak admitted his love
for the movie and its uncompromising tone but vowed to never make another
like it.
The legend
of the Krasue [a detached flying head with hanging entrails] is
popular in the culture of South East Asia, resulting in numerous motion
pictures. The first is believed to be GHOST
OF THE GUTS EATER, while the best known are WITCH
WITH THE FLYING HEAD and MYSTICS
IN BALI.
A Thai
film with optional English subtitles; uncut 95 minutes,
