The Coffin Movie Review - My review of the Coffin

Open the coffin to the number one box office in Thailand and we can see why. Filmed in provinces across Thailand, including a temple and 100 years of real cemeteries, the film features terrifying and beautiful scenes symmetrical, like hundreds of coffins arranged in a circle around a giant Buddha and a closet full mirrors along both sides.

The film also shock at the scheduled time, after you on your guard.

Credits should be given to the actors' performance. Ananda Everingham and Karen Mok really bring out the sensitivity of Chris and Sue's vulnerability. villainous character, but heroic Napakpapha Naprasitte is playing very well together.

However, the plot remains unclear because there is no connection between Chris and Sue stories that I write The Coffin Movie Review and we never discover the woman in white until the very last moment.

Overall, it is an exciting and yet moving tale about coming face to face with life and death.
