Still 2 (Thai Horror Movie, February 2014)




                                                 The 2010 horror movie, "Tai Hong", or "Still" in English, returns this year with another scary treat.



                                     Just like the first part, the movie revolves on 4 stories that are based in the news. 


                                    On Part 2, the titles are numbers that reflects or connects to the stories. Like "14" is the number of the floor, "16" is the number of the girl who was murdered, "15" is the number of the room and "13" is a song that became an OST for the movie.


                                    The first part, "14", is a story of a girl who goes home late and takes the last van home. Until suddenly, the passengers in the van, including the driver, turned out to be dead and haunts her. and one of the passengers turned out to be the person that her boyfriend knows.



                                    The second part, "16", is a story of 3 teenagers getting inside to a place full of prostitutes. Turns out, one of them was going to rescue the girl who was the delight to every men. But the remaining two, alongside with a guy who was a staff, founds out that the place was haunted. and the prostitutes, their friend and the staffs turn into zombies.


                                    The third part, "15" is about a tattooed man who checks in to a cheap hotel. He first found out that the air conditioner was not working well. When all of sudden strange things began to happen. Suddenly, a flashback comes in where a couple fought each other. The man pushes the woman in the stairs, thus resulting her to die. and puts her in the air conditioning vent.



                                 The last part, "13", is about guy, who was a monk before, confesses to his friends that her girlfriend died-which technically it was him who killed her. and seeks help to them to bury her. Suddenly, the ghost of his girlfriend appears and kills his friends and him.



                                       The movie consists of sex, violence and gore. but on the lighter side, the movie really gives a barrel of laughs to the audience. Also, it's a star-studded movie. The first part stars Baifern who was the ugly duckling turned princess in the movie, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". One of the casts of the second part is the comedian Jazz Chuanchuen who appeared on the 2013 romance comedy movie, "My Name is Love". The actor from the controversial gay movie, "Bangkok Love Story", Chaiwat Thongsaeng, guests in the third part as the murderer. Lastly, the guy from the hit 2004 Horror movie, "Shutter" also guests in this movie.



                                       The movie is a bit worth watching for. If y'all have the guts to watch the movie, don't dare vomit. 


                                            I also rate this movie 6 out of 10. Completely funny and gory but not enough to satisfy me.
