Review:
Ladda Land is a horror story that created based on urban legend in Chiang Mai (one of Thailand District) where a series of paranormal events begins. Ladda Land is the one of wealthy residential area. After waiting for a long time, finally Thee managed to buy one of the big house there. He asks his wife and two children to live with him after they are separated for few years. At first, Ladda Land in one peaceful are where all the persons live happily with their family. But one day, there is a murder case involving a woman who works in one house there. The woman is raped and tied down in a freezer, left died there. Since then, a variety of strange events have occurred.
Nan, Thee' daughter does not like her father because he doesn't live with him for a long time. So, she always studied in a friend's home and returned later to the house. One day, when her friends is going to send her home, her friends stopped at the house of the murder occurred. They invited Nan into the house, but Nan did not want. After a long wait outside and she is feeling scared for being alone, finally Nan enter the house to find her friends. At first, her friends want to joke with Nan, but they have come across a real ghost. (Here is one of a scary side)
Nan is telling this ghost thing to her father. Due to he doesn't believe in ghosts, he becomes angry with his daughter. He forces Nan to the house to prove that there is no ghost there but Nan doesn't want to go there anymore. She is getting more angry to his father and runaway from home and stays with her friends. There, Thee witnessed what her daughter saw the other night.
The situation is getting harder for Thee when the company where Thee work have closed. So Thee loss financial resources to pay for his debt in housing and other appliances. As a result, Thee have to work at the grocery store to get money. But this matter was kept secret from his wife and children. Until one day, the secret is known by Nan when she buys goods in the store.
Meanwhile, Thee' son named Nat be friend with his neighbor's son named Golf. They often play together. But one day, Golf has locked Nat in a closet. Thee have reported the matter to Golf's father. The second time, Golf has led Nat to the home of murder case. Again, Thee have reported the matter to Golf's father. An argument occurred between them. Golf's family is not a happy family like others, It's a mysterious family, his father is a grumpy person who always hit his wife and child. After that incident, Golf's father had killed his wife, son, and his mother. Since that time, many paranormal events occurred, Ladda Land is being haunted, all residents have moved out of there because of fear. But Thee still want to stay there. As a result, Nan had possessed when she intruded into a neighbor's house to take her handkerchief. Nan was sent to hospital for treatment.
His wife takes care of Nan at the hospital, while Thee sleep with Nat in the house, behold, Nat had disappeared. Thee directly to a neighbor's house because he suspects Nat was there. He brought a gun with which he bought when their home invaded by thieves.
In the last section, all Golf's family has become ghost (this is the scariest part of this movie, i call it the climax). In the house, Thee had seen the spirit of Golf and Golf's father. He was attacked by the spirit of Golf's father. As a result of fear, Thee were shooting at closet because he thought Golf's father was in there. It turned out that Nat was in the closet. Thee' wife managed to arrived at the scene. As a result of frustration, Thee was killing himself while Nat is still alive because the shot only hit at Nat's shoulder. In the end, Thee' wife took Nan and Nat moved out from Ladda Land.
For me, the story is really good. The plot and the setting develop very well. I like how the story move from happy side to other side, I mean it's maybe a real life drama beside the ghost thing. It's not just a horror movie, it has a story, real story in it, it has a drama inside. Personally, I want to give my credit to the actor who plays Thee' character. He is very good at it. He makes me think how I will do if I am in his position. I really have no clue for this one. As a man, he really has a pride. He wants to protect his family, he wants to live independently, doesn't depend on his mother in law. I really feel his feeling inside. What will he do when his daughter doesn't believe in him at all. It's really complicated. He can creates a suitable Thee' character in that kind of condition. Another acts are also great.
The ghosts thing here is not the scariest one if it's compared to the other Thai Horror movie like Shutter, etc. But I bet it's still good to surprise you at some scenes and the child's ghost reminds me of Ju-On Movie (Japanese Horror Movie). Be careful to watch ya... :D
Good points:
- The story is well scripted and the plot develop very well.
- The acts have delivered the character in very good performance.
- One of real drama that may happens in our life.
Bad points:
- For me, the ghosts are not scary at all if it's compared to other Thai Horror Movie.
