Die a Violent Death is a Thai horror film following four stories that were based off of four main headlines from the country. With four directors bringing something different to each segment, you'd think at least one of these would be good.

I was sorely mistaken. I don't want to go on a rant, so I'll keep it short.

This fil's CGI and special effects were absolutely tragic. The acting was poor at best by most of the actors. You couldn't feel any form of emotion from the directors - no form of love, or care, for their segments. The last segment portrays trans people as sexual predators. The ghosts weren't even believable as ghosts. 2 stars only for the nightclub segment and the prison segment was half decent.

I will not be watching anything from these directors willingly; I will not be looking forward to seeing these actors in anything else - and after watching this, I'm taking a long break from Thai horror because damn did this suck massively.

This film could have been good, funny, more comedic, but they tried too hard to be serious with a horrendous budget. Not a good look for Thai horror or for anyone involved with the film.
