 Movie Review:Thai Horror movies are known to be scary and creepy. The movie title I MISS YOU looks like a typical romance movie but once you start watching the film you will notice the complications of the film for it involves deep love for a dead person. While most horror movies focus on gore & disturbing scenes, I MISS YOU tackles the “love beyond death” aspect. Thus the tagline of the movie is “If you love me, don’t miss me” meaning the more you miss a dead person, the longer their ghosts will linger around you and will make you haunted.Though some of the ghost scenes (like the elevator scene of a nurse being haunted after flirting with Dr. Thana) are scary, the film lacks scary sound effects or hair-raising background music.There are also twists and turns as you go by the movie that oppose the personality of Dr. Thana as being loving & faithful. But some of the twists just make the storyline more complicated because they tried to link some of the unnecessary characters to Dr. Thana, adding to the confusion.Personally, I find the film exciting at first, but after the 1^st phase, I got bored due to the stressful chain of events that happened. I got sleepy before the film ends because it got dramatic instead showing “climax” horror wise.
