Overview In modern-day Thailand, witchcraft is not something to be taken lightly. In fact, there are dire consequences if you do. When a millionaire spurns his pregnant mistress, she places a deadly curse on his entire family. Soon, each family member dies in a decidedly brutal fashion. The police are puzzled. But an observant and open-minded reporter might be just the guy to unlock the mystery. This absolutely relentless Thai thriller, making its American DVD debut, boasts enough gruesome and shocking imagery for ten horror films.
My Impression Very different than the usual Asian movie that we are used to. This one as written in the overview deal with the world of curse and witchcraft. This is very good movie, even if the subtitles are a little bit fast and hard to set in Power DVD. The film start when the story is already in progress and you sure don't understand what happen, but the story will be reveal piece by piece untill it rejoins the point where it had started. In this film it's hard to not understand why the person responsible of the curse is at fault, the father of this familly has really mistreated her, in fact her fault is that she overeact and the word is even weak. The acting seems ok (it's not easy to judge when a movie isn't in a language you understand).
Synopsis: No, not that one. The Flash is a spin-off series of The CW's Arrow where it started as a sort-of backdoor pilot until it got an actual pilot episode. In Arrow's second season police lab technician Barry Allen visits Oliver Queen's home town Starling City and actually meets the vigilante. Back in his own town an experiment in a nearby research facility goes horribly wrong and puts Barry into a coma. When he wakes up, his body is going into overdrive, allowing him to move and heal at incredible speeds. But the accident changed other people as well and not all of them are such decent citizens as Barry.
My Opinion: They basically re-used the idea that Smallville had when Clark's arrival on Earth did not just bring Clark but also the meteor shower that caused mutations and gave Clark enemies to fight against. But that's not such a bad thing. This way you don't need to explain where suddenly all these people with weird powers come from, so that the Flash has something to do week after week. I also enjoyed the cameo casting of John Wesley Shipp who used to be the Flash in the 1990s (also Barry Allen*). To be honest I was a bit sceptical when Barry appeared in Starling City because I thought he looked a tad bit too young. But over the course of these two Arrow episodes and the pre-released pilot episode of The Flash he already grew on me and I will be tuning in when it actually begins.
*The person carrying the moniker "The Flash" is not always the same person, just like there are different Green Lanterns. There were at least for people who used that name: Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Wally West and Bart Allen. Smallville's version of the Flash (who went by "Impulse" in the early days) was Bart Allen.
