Be afraid, but not very afraid

» Bring me the heads of horror filmmakers, for this Halloween Thai cinemas are auspiciously crawling with ghosts. Two new Thai films — one passably creepy, the other disappointing — are in theatres to supply a spook fix during this demon-infested weekend; there are rotten-faced zombies and posthumous vengeance, and hysterical possession and haunted infrastructure (hospital, house, factory, bathroom, you name it). Lately, Thai horror movies aren't getting high readings on the scare-o-meter, and yet in the land of a million spirit houses, ghosts still reign as a sound business venture and cinematic catalyst. Of the two new films, the more thought-out and carefully-scripted is The Eyes Diary, directed by Chookiat Sakveerakul. By his standard — Chookiat made the grisly 13 Beloved and teen romance The Love Of Siam — the new film is a minor exercise. The Eyes Diary sets out to probe a litany of themes — guilt, love, sacrifice, fatal obsession — but as one of Thailand's most reliable scriptwriters, I only wish Chookiat would've twisted them harder and darker.
