Trigger warning


SYNOPSIS:

TRAILER:



PLOT: (With spoilers):


The story starts with two siblings who live with their mother, one is Pim the sister played by Sutatta Udomsilp and Put the brother who wears a leg brace by Nattapat Nimjirawat

They show us that Put is with his classmate playing video games at home and when his sister comes home and goes to her room she catches the friend peeping in her room, when she goes to close the door the friend does not even look embarrassed or shows any shame. 

The brother tries to tell him off but he shows him a video and threatens to release it, its later revealed that it was a video of Pim taking a bath at school. 

Movie moves along and we see that the mother is injured in a car accident with a drunk driver.



The kids then have to live with their grandparents for a short period of time, but the old couple keeps acting weird. When the kids go to their house they see the hole in the wall, upon looking into it they see a really weird kid who is throwing up blood and the grandparents pretend there is no hole and ask the kids to stop with the pranks. The movie moves quite slow , the kids Putt and Pim notice more and more into the hole and it appears to be revealing them a version of their family's past, a scary little kid holding a little girl and a very drunk man slouched on the sofa.




A lot of things happen like the friend who had the video in his phone forget his phone at the place and Pim and Put finding it, the grandfather going to the cops to find out who was driving the car the night the mother met with an accident, not believing the cops when they tell him that the rich spoiled kid was not the driver, the grandfather going and killing him,  the grandmother having panic attacks in the middle of the night and finally revealing that she too, can see the hole in the wall. 



The mom is now out of coma and runs home to the kids once she finds out where they are, she looks scared and in a hurry. Now this is the only part of the movie that seems interesting where the (W) hole truth is revealed.



The mother Mai was married to Krit the guy that the kids saw earlier slouched on the sofa, Pinya the scary kid from the hole was their first born.

We see a flashback where the father Krit is drinking and the kid Pinya asks him if he wants to play hide and seek, he agrees and she goes hides in the small cupboard under the stairs, the father then passes out as he was drunk.

The rest of the family returns home and when they find Pinya in the cupboard they see that she drank the rat poison inside and was dead due to Krit's neglect.

This was the revelation, but the movie takes on the 2nd plot twist rule and we find out that Pinya didn’t die because of Krit, of course he was wrong to not handle his kid properly but it was the grandmother behind the killing, she keeps on giving milk to Pinya in which she would put a bit of poison and always treated her rudely. When Pinya had hidden in the cupboard, the grandmother was the one who had locked the cupboard from outside, and when Pinya was taken out, she had coughed blood and ended up dying there.


We see also see that the grandmother used to always force Put to drink the milk but never gave it to Pim. The grandmother had a problem with deformities running in their family. Pinya was born with physical defects, which caused her grandmother to despise her. The grandmother never considered Pinya a member of her family. She regarded Putt in the same light as her. Pim was the ideal match for her. She had wished for her grandchildren to be just like Pim. That is why she never had a problem with her and instead began serving poisoned milk to Putt every day.

Chaiyut the rich spoiled kid was really not driving the car, a revelation that is made to the grandfather in the end. It comes as a big shock to the grandfather, who had acted before knowing the whole truth.

In the end, we see that the grandfather starts to see Krit in his hallucinations and ends up killing his wife as he thinks its Krit, he realizes that his wife, he ends up killing himself.

she was the one who killed her husband, krit. And make it like it's his dad who killed him. U can see she took the gun from her father pocket and shoot him.



Review (with spoilers):

For starters, the horror on this movie is at least 3 out of 10 so for horror seekers looking for the screams and heart racing, this might not be your cup of tea.


If you just want a light horror to watch, I recommend this. This can be a good horror for a beginner. For me the story is decent enough for this to be worth the watch


The story is definitely a slow burn. A lot of scenes and the way they react to the things happening around them don't make sense. Acting is barely tolerable but still decent. If you watch it, you'll get what I mean.


It's not bad. The problem was the direction and how the storytelling is presented. It could have been better.


Speaking of the hole, every scene that presented the effects and styling was just ridiculous.

1. The sister was not worried at all about her videos getting leaked that doesn't happen in real world.

2. No one cared about brother's health throughout the movie.

3. No one went to search for missing cat but definitely they were worrying about it. (That makes no sense)

4. The children didn't even visit their sick mother in the hospital.

5. The pervert guy didn't even came looking for his lost phone and never appeared again in the movie again.

6. The grandparents were that easily forgiven or what was that?? They could have easily reveal the truth about their daughter being the killer but no that bad twist needs to be revealed at the end. For thrill, I guess.

What I liked on this movie though is that most of the questions about the main plot has been answered. I really like movies that gives me peace of mind after I watch them so it kind of get better for me towards the end. The revelations are just mind blowing. It was definitely unexpected.


Overall, way too long for a story like this. Some plotlines were not needed and did not bring much to the story at all. It had its moments, and I cannot say I dislike every minute of it, but these few scenes that were interesting were not worth watching the whole 2 hour movie.


The narrative talks about the two-faced reality of life. How it is always important to know the situation in its entirety and then only react to it. We have a habit of passing judgment even before we understand the situation completely. Sometimes, our actions are not retractable, and the damage caused is permanent in nature.
