A young Thai girl moves to save her grandmother

I'm a definite horror movie fan, and this rendition doesn't disappoint. I had the honor of sitting in with Paul Spurrier during the sound mixing of the film in Sydney, and his vision in not only what transpired to the screen, but sonically, was incredible. If you like the classic 'innocent' girl turned corrupt narrative, this film turns it into a horrific experience. Some fantastic graphic editing (obviously a credit to pre-visualisation and storyboarding) not to mention superb first time acting. It's always great to see the director appearing in a cameo role, and Paul plays the role of the 'seeking' white man to what we can all thoroughly believe. So, make sure you all give this film a go, and enjoy!
