Movie Review: The Coffin (2008)

Directed by Ekachai Uekrongtham

Starring Ananda Everingham, Florence Faivre and Andrew Lin

In Thailand there is an ancient ritual performed who's purpose is to reverse the fortunes of those who chose to partake in it. One lies in a coffin for a certain amount of time and then after being brought out of the coffin whatever the person has asked for hopefully will come to pass. The Coffin is the story of two people who have partaken in the ritual only to have something go horribly wrong, and instead of good fortune they become victims of supernatural hauntings. We have a runaway bride who has discovered she has lung cancer, after the coffin ritual she finds her cancer has disappeared unfortunately she find out on the same day that her fiance has been killed in an accident. Stricken with guilt, she is terrorized by his ghostly image. The other is a man hoping to cure his girlfriend of an illness and although she is cured they both are soon stalked by ghostly apparitions. The both eventually find out that the only way to set things right is to perform the ritual again.
