Posted on Tuesday, April 27, 2021

Hi Everybaadeeeh..

Now we will talked about 7 must watched Asian horror-comedy movie of all time. I know we all were a lazy human being that most of us just scroll to see the title and play the trailer, so I will not write long. Hoam 😪.Feel free to comment and asks! But remember to keep lazy guys, don't get too active.

1. 4bia (3rd story: "The Man in The Middle") - 2008

4bia
Country origin: Thailand
IMDb ratings: 6.7

Okay, first, for people whom never seen this movie, 4bia is an anthology movie from Thailand that has 4 different story in it. And this is the 3rd story. Overall, all of the story was good but the others was pure horror without comedy. But worth to watch anyway.

"Four rafting-lovers friend, Aey, Ter, Shin, and Phuak are rafting in a lonely jungle in Chiang Mai. At night in the camp, Aey tells his friends that if he dies, the person who sleep in the middle will be the next to die with him. The next day, when they are swimming in the river, Aey drowns and cannot be located. The rest are scared, but decide to stay and fight over who gets to sleep in the middle (they are frightened by Aey's story). That night, Aey comes back, but strange events happening afterwards make his friends suspicious."


2. Phobia 2 (5th story: "In the End") - 2009 

Phobia 2
Country origin: Thailand
IMDb ratings: 6.7

This is the 2nd series of 4bia, still with the 4 friends story.

"Ter, Puak, Shin and Aey are the movie crew of an upcoming ghost/horror movie Alone 2, starring Marsha as the lead character and Kate, who is sick, as the ghost. They are shooting the last scene where the ghost appears crawling out of a dark hallway, but Kate collapses. Aey takes Kate to a hospital, at which the doctor later tells Aey that "the patient has died". Thinking that Kate would be unable to join the filming, the crew discuss a possible ending change. But Kate appears in the set shortly and seems alive enough, prompting the change to be reversed."



3. Pee Mak - 2013

Pee Mak
Country origin: Thailand
IMDb ratings: 7.3

Yes, we still talked about the ganks. Our 4 friend visiting their friend's family in his house. And there are some rumors about his wife was..... already died. But is it true?

"The story is set in mid-19th century Siam, during the era of King Mongkut and at the height of the Rattanakosin Dynasty, when Siam was plagued with wars with its neighboring kingdoms. Mak (Mario Maurer) was drafted to serve in a war, forcing him to leave behind his pregnant wife Nak (Davika Hoorne) at the town of Phra Khanong, not far from Central Bangkok. He was wounded during a battle and sent to a medical camp, where he met fellow soldiers Ter, Puak, Shin and Aey, who later became his best friends after he had saved them from certain death. Meanwhile, in Phra Khanong, Nak struggled alone painfully to give birth to the baby; she calls out for help, but she is too weak to be heard. Shortly after, rumors started circulating the village that Nak had died in labor and was now a ghost of a very powerful form haunting the house".


4. The Eye 3 (The Eye 10) - 2005

The Eye 3
Country origin: Hongkong
IMDb ratings: 4.7

This is the 3rd stories of "The Eye" franchise. The two of it before is also good too but it's a pure horror without comedy. And here there's so many popular scene from The eye 1 and 2 that makes a cameo and turn into comedy. For me, this movie is quite entertaining but I don't know why it gets low scores on the imbd.

"Chong-kwai welcomes his friends Ted, May, Kofei and cousin April from Hong Kong to Thailand. He shows them a book he purchased from a strange man, titled The Ten Encounters, that describes ten ways to see ghosts and spirits.  If they start the game, they must complete it or they will be haunted forever. Out of curiosity, the five friends start playing. In the middle of the game, Kofei disappears. Chong-kwai's mother, who is an expert on the supernatural, warns the friends to leave Thailand but April stays behind because she wants to find Kofei (her boyfriend). One night, April tries one of the methods and brushes her hair in front of a mirror at night. Her fate is uncertain".



5. Spellbound - 2011

Spellbound
Country origin: Korea
IMDb ratings: 6.9

For you who cannot decide which you most like between romance, comedy and horror; this movie is perfect for you. All of the genre is here.

"Jo-goo, a street magician (Lee Min-ki), notices a miserable looking girl, Yeo-ri (Son Ye-jin), in the audience during one of his performances, and she winds up being the inspiration for his “Horror magic show.” The show becomes a runaway success almost overnight and Jo-goo in turn, is now a successful stage magician with a model girlfriend. Yeo-ri works for Jo-goo, playing the specter in his show. Forward to almost a year later, the darkness inside her, something her colleagues sense, keeps her from truly connecting with them". 



6. One Cut of the Dead - 2017

One Cut of the Dead
Country origin: Japan
IMDb ratings: 7.7

This movie is quite tricky. It has long duration and divide to 3 section. Form me at first section feels quite flat and makes me wondering what happen, but after it goes to final section, it has a hillarious twist.

"In the first section, the cast and crew of a low-budget zombie film called One Cut of the Dead are shooting at an abandoned water filtration plant. The director, Higurashi, argues with actors and eventually abandons them. A real zombie apocalypse then begins to the delight of Higurashi, who insists that the camera operator continue filming. The middle section involves the personal lives of the real cast and crew of the One Cut of the Dead film production as they prepare to make the one-shot film. The final section follows the chaotic shooting of One Cut of the Dead from behind the scenes".


7. Secret in the Hot Spring - 2018

Secret in the Hot Spring
Country origin: Taiwan
IMDb ratings: 6.7

This story talks about three youngsters meet by accident at a mysterious hot springs hotel. There, they fall into an unforgettable adventure. It starts off scary but soon turns funny and there are some twist too.

"Xiao Gin is transferred to his third school during his fifth year at high school.
