To A Theater Near You: Coming Soon

Coming Soon is an independent horror movie from Thailand. I saw it as part of the Another Hole In The Head festival going on now. It's okay. I lower my standards for this indie stuff. Things like 'making something out of nothing' become major criteria. On those grounds, the movie has plenty of successes, but overall it's pretty forgettable.

I think I accidentally made it sound better than it was. Full review.

Excerpt:

"When the premises are neither novel nor profound the ghastly sights become both the meat and the potatoes in the cauldron. Coming Soon features some picturesque moments that act like spotlights in the otherwise dark world of the multiplex. A poorly lit hallway makes for a chilling game of cat and mouse and some well-timed deja vu keeps the wrench jammed in the screws when it looks like everything might slowly grind to a halt."
