Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

razorblade_kiss93 This movie was quite poor to begin with. You had a cliché mysterious old women who scared you a little bit and a comical storyline. I did not like that at all. The movie then progresses to something that seemed like a 60s horror movie in a modern format. Did not work.My favourite part of the movie was the autism scenes, sure the makeup on the 'scary autistic' was sub standard but it had a vintage like quality as i mentioned before, but this time it actually worked.Of course you had the let down ending, clichéd, rushed and poor. Even the pathetic attempt at a 'clever' twist failed to save this movie. All I can say is this was my first time watching a Thai Horror Movie, wasn't impressed, I'm hoping the acclaimed Shutter will be better.

Claudio Carvalho When Prae (Pimpan Chalaikupp) gets pregnant, her boyfriend Pong (Vittaya Wasukraipaisan) decides to marry her and they move to the house of Pong's mother. When their slow next door neighbor Benn gives old newspaper to Prae, her house catches fire and Benn dies totally burnt. Prae has a nervous breakdown and delivers her baby, the healthy Pan. When Pan is brought home, he uninterruptedly cries. Pong and Prae go to the doctor and he believes that baby has colic and will be better after six months old. However the baby never stops crying and Pong, his mother, Prae and her sister Jean (Kulthida Sattabongkoch) go with the baby to a monk in the temple and to an institute seeking an answer. On the eve of Pan's first anniversary, they discover that the baby is the reincarnation of an evil spirit and the souls of people that he had hurt in his past life want to wound him."Colic: Dek Hen Pee" is an Asian horror movie with an interesting premise, the counterpoint of the pain of colic and reincarnation. The viewers that believe in reincarnation certainly will appreciate this movie much more than me since I found the conclusion disappointing. The creepy atmosphere is scary, especially the scene with the autistic interns in the institute; but there is a poor development of Benn and the accident with Pong's mother is too forced. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Vidas Passadas" ("Past Lives")

dschmeding The cover of the DVD already gives away one of the creepy moments in this Thai Horror Movie although its not too important to the plot. Colic is about a couple that is expecting a baby. The woman forces her boyfriend to get married and they move to a new house. Strange things start to happen soon and when the baby is born it won't stop crying, which is explained as the condition to be a colic but turns out to be something very different. There are some nice scary moments often reminding me a lot of the Poltergeist Movies with an Asian flair of course. I liked the scene with the autistic kids in the hospital in that the movie fuses the boundaries of modern science and knowledge with the supernatural and a very Asian philosophy on it. Colic is basically a Ghostmovie trying to incorporate other elements and although it has its upsides there is also passages where the movie is dragging a lot. The final explanation left me rather disappointed and with a feeling that the story somehow didn't quite add up. There is sure a lot worse movies than colic but I don't think Colic is a movie that one needs to know since most scares have been there before and the whole movie seems a little undecided on where it wants to go.

DICK STEEL Colic is the latest Thai horror movie to hit our shores, and given the gimmicky promotion in local theatres, where a cradle with that nasty picture of the baby inside, you'd start to wonder if this movie will actually give you the creeps, without resorting to the usual cheap gimmicks which plagued the slew of horror movies of late.By the look of that powerful palm imprint on the baby's body, you'd think that there are devilish (pugilistic) forces to be reckoned with in Colic. However, sorry to disappoint, things that start to go bump in the night, are as tame as a pussy cat exhibiting a hissy fit. While the movie scores in its dealing with the atmospherics, it had forgotten that an engaging story is king, nevermind how implausible (ghost stories what) the premises is. Colic actually has potential, in taking something that couldn't be very much explained in scientific terms, and adding a dash of the spiritual to it. But it turned out to be wasted potential instead.Newlyweds Pong (Vittaya Wasukraipaisan) and Phrae (Pympan Chalayanacupt) have an infant son who suffers from cholic - that incessant crying for reasons attributed to various factors unexplained in the movie, until the end, more or less. Should there be a hidden message in the movie, it'll probably be not to smoke when you're expecting, or that karma will work against you if you have pre-marital sex and have to undergo a shotgun wedding if not adequately protected.Anyway I digress. The happy family move to the suburbs, and there's where unexplained happenings start to occur to them. I must warn you that it takes a long time for the family to move, and for the first of such bumps in the night. In between bumps are uneventful stuff that seem to be put in as fillers, which made the entire narrative storyline very episodic, and extremely dragged out between scenes. The horror here has a familiar look and feel to it, kinda like old Hong Kong horror flicks.What the movie couldn't decide, and it shows in the film, is what to do with the inexplicable stuff. Do we want to deal with spirits, or ghouls, maybe poltergeists, or gore like Saw or Hostel. There are some truly intense moments though which will leave you at the edge of your seat, but when looking back at hindsight, they're pretty much a mixed bag and seem all over the place. It takes a long time for things to build, and during this time, it's pretty boring, as you literally observe an infant grow up, in quarterly stages.So long as you don't expect too much, and not expect the cholic phenomenon to be explained in detail (from both the scientific and occult standpoint), you could actually enjoy this movie. Like I mentioned, the atmospherics is top notch, though the finale looked more like an action movie instead. And when the filmmakers do explain something important in the end, the reaction I'd reckon will be "Huh? That's it?" in a much ado about nothing manner.
