Alone

Marsha Wathanapanitch

SYNOPSIS:

Looking roughly at Pim’s life, she is just another ordinary woman. She moved from Thailand and started a new life in Korea with her caring and loving husband. But one night, a phone call from Thailand changes her life forever. Pim learns that her mother is gravely ill with an unknown disease, and she and her husband Lee rush back to Thailand.

The moment she arrives in Thailand, the flashbacks begin-painful memories, long buried, along with a strange familiar feeling. These things only grow stronger, as she reaches the house where she grew up. She is inundated with a nostalgia that is sweet, but with an undercurrent of terror, a realization that someone is “there,” right beside her, always. And that someone had always been there.

The secret of Pim and her family has slowly been revealed: she was once a Siamese twin! Ten years ago, Pim and her conjoined twin sister underwent as operation to separate them. But her sister died during the attempt. And now, Pim suddenly feels her presence once more, relentlessly.

Will she regain the normal life she once had – her own and hers alone?had – her own and hers alone?

REVIEW:

At first, I actually thought this film was a Korean film because the setting started in Korea where Pim lived peacefully with her husband.

But as things went by in Thailand, a lot of things happened that made me stick my eyes on the screen for the whole time, asking questions on "WHY" and "HOW"

The great twist on the story will make you think about a lot of possibilities as the film was running. It will make you impatient about what will happen in the end and how the "ghost presence" was connected with what was happening to the main character.

Then as the secrets unfold, things also become drastically different, from ghosts to obsessed lovers, to serial killings. ALONE will really rack your brain until the end of the movie.ally rack your brain until the end of the movie.
