Original Asian films like Ringu have set the bar for psychological horror movies that are deeply unsettling without resorting to gore and blood. Along comes a wave of similar Asian horror movies of discontented long-haired female ghosts in white gown, only to fail in their imitation. Just like The Coffin.
This movie seems novel with the inspiration from the Thai practice of lying in a coffin to change one's luck. However, it starts out slow, and never changes its pace. It's boring, lacklustre and tries way too hard to create symbolic meanings.
The supposed twist at the end is nothing new, nor is the long-haired female ghost that seems too familiar.
The dialogues are painful, so are the executions of them by the mediocre cast. This is what you get for casting people for their looks.
