DVD Reviews of The Sisters
DVD Review: Creepy Thai Ghost story in the tradition of The Grudge.
Summary: 3 Stars
The sisters was an interesting film and is worth a watch.
The film begins when a group of musicans from a rock band stay at a motel after one of their concerts. Unaware of the room's history, each band member is drawn to an air conditioning vent on the ceiling. The image they see both horrifies and curses them at the same time. A ghostly female figure, who had been murdered and beheaded in the room two years earlier, is seen moving down through the vent towards them.
The group vacates the room in a hurry, but finds that the ghost is following them. She appears to them both alone and in a group at times, but never leaves their presence totally. Her haunting image terrifies some of the band members into killing themselves, while others are scared into killing themselves by accident. The few members who remain towards the end seek help from a buddist monk. He gives them the solution on how to rid themselves of the spirit,(they are instructed to sleep in a coffin of a person who died a violent death) but they are not succesful. Two of the members track down the ghost's mother and discover that the spirit has had a long, hard life. Both as a prostitute, and while living at home. (before she ran away)
The film ends with one member remaining, but does not give the viewer a concrete answer as to why she has been spared. I have my idea of why she remains alive, but I don't want to spoil the film for you so I'll leave the rest for you to see.
The Sisters had a decent story behind it, and included some true elements which helps the plot. The Ghostly lady did jump me a few times when she appeared, and the music was helpful at times in creating a creepy atmosphere.
I could only give the film a 3 however, becuase I felt it relied to heavily on the ghost's makeup to jump the viewer, instead of using special effects, or even crafty film angels. The film also appears to be low budgeted, and some of the actors did not give quality performances.
The release company for the film is tokyo shock. THey include the original THai language, and an English dubbed soundtrack. They could have picked better voice actors to dub some of the characters voices though.(a regular problem with Tokyo SHock releases) As a result, I think the English dubbed version appears less creepy than it could have been due to the voices.
Overall I found the film interesting, and am glad to see Thai films making it to the American video rental market. It's worth a rental if you like ghost stories. Particularly Asain ghost stories like the Grudge, or RIngu. Just make sure all the lights are out when you view it so you can get the maxium jump value out of it. It might give you a bad dream or two.
