The Coffin โลงต่อตาย

The international and Taiwan movie posters. Their Thai and Korean posters are not as nice.




Inspired by a true Thai ritual.
Many Thai people believe that lying down in a coffin is a part of the death-before-dying ritual to prolong one’s life by playing dead. Chris (Ananda Everingham), an architect who is extremely claustrophobic but with hope to lengthen his girlfriend’s (Aki Shibuya)life, Chris decides to overcome his fear by being in the coffin. Sue (Karen Mok), a nutritionist, takes care of her health religiously. However, only 2 weeks before marrying her fiancé (Andrew Lin), Sue finds out that she’s in the final stage of lung cancer. Sue then runs away to Thailand and discovers the coffin ceremony and decides to participate in order to save her own life. Chris and Sue are confronted by a series of paranormal and terrifying incidents. Both might have to sacrifice their lives to unfold the truth. Moral of the story: Do not ever try to disturb the karma wheel.

哎唷 不错哦
只是略嫌恐怖镜头的频率有点不够 但还是有几幕是惊悚到的
看戏的时候 还真的会感受到那在狭窄空间里挣扎的恐惧
故事连接不错 取景拍摄镜头到点 毕竟是得奖导演
戏院里后面的小瓜拼命聊天 本身有几分钟差点睡着（太累的缘故）
电影不能让买票去看的人目不转睛地看算是败笔吧

此片打入国际 参加康城电影节
在各地都有不错的票房
哎唷 不错哦
