The two directors of 2004 Thailand phenomenal horror blockbuster “SHUTTER”, Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom are reuniting again this year to releases their new movie project “ALONE”.
Shutter has became Thailand’s highest grossing box office hit and gaining international success and recognition, the foreign reviews for this film were very favourable too and Hollywood will remake the film to scheduled for release next year. Still in the same genre with Shutter, Alone comes with a banner as another creepy, supernatural tale from these two talented young directors, and the buzz around them has made Alone one of the most eagerly anticipated South East Asian movies of the year.

Just check out this simple synopsis of the movie:

15 years old conjoined Siamese twins Pim and Ploy was being separate by Thailand doctors, after 20 hour of operation Pim has survived but Ploy died.
Pim buries her past and starts a new life with her husband Vee in Korea, all seem well before Pim had informed that her mother has fallen very ill due to a yet un-diagnosable disease. That takes Pim and her husband back to Thailand.
From the moment she arrives in her hometown, Pim finds herself constantly haunted by these lingering feelings of being attached to another person by organ that bonds two lives in such a way that she could never be free. It’s her dead sister that begins to angrily intrude upon her life to not allow her to forget what does not want to be forgotten…

Unlike Shutter, which driven more like an all-out ghost story, Alone is a more emotional, character-driven piece that actually plays out like a conventional love story – albeit one with supernatural elements – with the romance between Pim and her husband, being central to the plot.
With plenty of scary sequences and an intriguing storyline, Alone will keep you on the edge of your seat until toward to the end that will bring a wholly unexpected plot twist, it was nice to see the directors actually dared to do something different with the ending rather than repeating themselves. Alone actually has a proper ending which not only entertains, but satisfies on so many levels.Once again the directors succeed in taking some of the basic tropes of the Asian ghost story, already well familiar to audiences, and then subverting them into something slightly different, this time drawing on themes of sibling rivalry, family guilt and romantic jealousy.
