4Bia


Oh... I wanted to post about 4bia centuries ago but never really have a chance (sigh). So... Here I go. It's one of the best and scariest Thailand horror movies I've ever watched so far. The movie is consisting of four short movies that has a different story, yet has one thing that connects them. You can check what I mean on the Notes part.
 My favorite part is the third story. It tells about 4 best friends that camping in the woods near a riverbank. In the first, night they have this silly conversation about the ghost story and how it’s always had a girl, pretty but scary ghost and how the ghost always haunt the one who sleep on the edge.
They have fussed about it and then A says jokingly that if he dies, he'll haunt the one who sleep in the middle instead.
The next day they have an accident in the river and A is nowhere to be found. That night they have fussed about who will sleep in the middle, because they afraid what A said last night will happen.
And yes, A is coming but not to pick only the one in the middle...
Oh... 4bia is totally creepy; not only because it will scare the hell out of you, but how the plot twist will make you wonder and terrified at the same time. Especially Happiness, the very first part of 4bia.
 By the way, Kantapat Permpoonpatcharasuk who play A is totally a hottie; a really nice sight when you watched a scary creepy horror movie LOL

Notes
1.    "4bia" is an anthology horror film from GTH studios, featuring four top Thai directors.
2.    While the four stories appear to be separated, the chronology of the events is:
a)    Story 3 (In the Middle). One of the teenagers' names is Ter.
b)    Story 4 (Last Flight). Ter is mentioned as the brother of Pim's colleague and fellow stewardess, Tui (not seen on film) who could not accompany the flight as her brother had drowned.
c)    Story 1 (Happiness). The girl with the broken leg is seen reading the online news about the Princess's son's death. The princess was there for the funeral.
d)    Story 2 (Tit for Tat). The image of the curse is the image of the girl with the broken leg who had died with her eyes open.
