Pee Mak (2013) - 115 min

Country: Thailand
Director: Banjong Pisanthanaku
Cast: Mario Maurer, Davika Hoorne, Pongsathorn Jongwilas, Nattapong Chartpong, Auttarut Kongrasri & Kantapat Permpoonpatcharasook.
Set in Rattanakosin Dynasty, Mak is a soldier who gets hurt during the war and returns home to meet his pregnant wife with four army friends. The four friends get suspicious about the villagers weird behavior and they suspect, something strange is going out there.
Mixing comedy with horror genre is a tough job to do and Banjong Pisanthanaku shows how to mix it. Even though, it emphasis on the jokes more than jump scares. The set pieces which used to show the pop culture was very creative though. It has some nice twists and forces you to keep guessing on what happens next. The humor part was controlled by four army buddies and they actually nailed it with their funny expressions. Overall, it delivers a refreshing experience for me and it's a must watch.
Verdict: Great
