Right, well I was under the impression that the 2024 Thai movie "Anong" (aka "My Boo") was a horror comedy, and thus I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch it.
However, it turned out that director Komgrit Triwimol delivered a romance movie between a living boy and a dead girl. Yeah, not exactly a horror comedy, especially since the movie was frightfully devoid of anything funny. Sure, the movie was watchable, but I had expected quite something else than what it turned out to be.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, aside from actor Chaleumpol Tikumpornteerawong, but I will say that the acting performances were good. And I do enjoy watching unfamiliar talents on the screen.
Visually, then "Anong" was an okay movie. It wasn't heavy on special effects, nor overly reliant on the special effects to carry the narrative. But the effects were adequate and helped bring the ghostly characters to life on the screen. But I've seen better effects in other Thai ghost movies.
Watchable for what it was, but this was hardly an outstanding Thai movie. Nor is it a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.
My rating of director Komgrit Triwimol's 2024 supernatural romance lands on a five out of ten stars.
