Slow burn
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 01/04/2016
» Despite having nary a sky-scraping kaiju in sight, 10 Cloverfield Lane managed to make my hair stand in a way the original 2008 found-footage monster feature never could. Featuring great acting, a brilliantly written script and impressive directing work, 10 Cloverfield Lane isn't the kind of film that uses jump-scares or freakish monstrosities to induce fear in its characters or its audience. Instead, there is an atmosphere of slow, creeping dread all throughout the film, like the anticipation of creatures around the next corner.

The sound of silence
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 16/09/2016
» As is true of most horror films, it's the silent, creeping moments of uncertainty leading up to the jumps-scares that create the most suspense, as audiences tense up in anticipation, hoping against hope that the main characters be spared any horrendous fate lying around the corner. Don't Breathe, the aptly named sophomore feature from director Fede Alvarez (who also did the 2013 remake of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead), embodies this philosophy to the hilt, taking its audience on a relentless train-ride of white-knuckle tension from start to finish.

Hunger Games ends with a bang
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 20/11/2015
» The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 marks the end of what has now become perhaps one of the most prolific young adult novel series ever, and holy heck is it good. While I wasn't a fan in the beginning, The Hunger Games is one of those series that seems to mature with its audience, now a far cry from the days Katniss was in the lush woods of the first Games arena.

Back to school with American Vandal
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 10/11/2017
» When I first came across American Vandal -- the mockumentary series recently released on Netflix -- my first impression of the show was that it felt like an over-elaborate penis joke.

Media's shifting landscape
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 23/01/2017
» When the news broke late last year that TrueVisions -- the largest cable TV service provider in Thailand -- would be cutting off six film and television series channels from their line-up beginning this year, a swathe of the network's subscribers were left in doubt as to the necessity of actually owning a cable TV subscription. After all, with online platforms like Netflix, Iflix, YouTube and even Facebook giving us the ability to access our preferred media content at any place or time of our choosing, many consumers are now given more choices in how they can consume media content than ever before.
