The Whole Truth

Good plot!! The start is slow but then picks up its keeps u engaged until the end...love the twist in the end...it's a good one time watch.. if you like mystery and horror.

If towards the beginning you have a Deja Vu and think this feels familiar ... like a movie you may have seen before. You may think like me and feel this is close to an M. Night Shyamalan movie that also had grandparents in the middle of the story. Not sure if I want to say don't worry about it, it is not a remake of that ... it just isn't though.

This is a simple or rather quite straight horror ... it does contain a few other elements (like bullying) and general issues growing up and the age differences between the kids and the grandparents ... different worlds and all that. Not perfect by a long shot, but horror fans may not mind while they are getting their kicks ...

It may lack the horror that some contributors enjoy but this is more a murder mystery than a horror flick. The actors are totally unknown to most western audiences so you don't know who is going to live or die. The cinematography is very good although the special effects could have been better with a little more money spent on them but that's a small complaint. It didn't take away from the overall film. Some may find it slow at times as it's trying to build up the tension. Stay until the last few minutes at the end. It's worth it.

The whole truth is that this movie was pretty mediocre.

The whole truth is that the acting from most of the characters were bad, especially the son and grandpa.

The whole truth is that the main chick was sometimes cute and sometimes not, which is confusing and just a comment, not a criticism.

The whole truth is that the use of sound was incredibly excessive and didn't help elevating the scares.

The whole truth is that it's not scary as a horror.

The whole truth is that most of the mystery was predictable, but then some of the twists was decent and some were meh.

The whole truth is that the characters didn't have to explain everything because the twists were mostly straightforward.

The whole truth is that the ending felt stretched out and didn't have that much significance.

The whole truth is that there were two subplots that didn't really do anything and shouldn't be included.

The truth is that, overall, it's nothing good, just mediocre and predictable. 5/10.

I kept waiting for some sort of payoff. You never get one. It drags on for way to long. The pacing is terrible, the subplot with Pim pointless and goes nowhere. I got so tired of Putt's name with being half the dialogue in this movie. This movie thought it was being a lot more than it was. It was grim. So disturbing. Horrible special effects. And just overall a sad film achieving nothing. And it got really boring. Like really boring. Nobody was particularly likeable except maybe Pim, kinda. But remember this movie is Thai, which so far as I know, is not a thriving hot spot for cinema. So with that in mind, I can be forgiving.
