Ghost Game - Shocking Asian Horror

By admin on May 5th, 2008

Dispite the rather lame title Ghost Game is possibly the most controversial Thai horror movie ever made and it is coming to DVD in the UK in June.

Seeking to utilise the reality TV format and twist it into the horror genre, much like My Little Eye, but this is rather much on a grander scale.

11 people are locked inside a war museum, and have to perform seances and summon demons for their tasks instead of the usual childish tasks on other reality TV shows. Their ultimate goal is to complete their tasks and be the last person left inside the museum, with the winner taking home a cash prize of 5 million Baht (roughly £80k), the highest amount of money ever offered on a Thai game show. It is then that the inevitable killings begin.

Starring a cast consisting of actual contestants from the real-life American Idol-style Thai TV game show, “Academy Fantasia”, the dark and disturbing Ghost Game puts a “Big Brother” meets “Most Haunted” spin on the classic “trapped in a haunted house” horror movie theme to great effect.
