I had not even heard about "The Sisters" (aka "Pee chong air") prior to getting the opportunity in 2020 to sit down and watch it. But with it being a Thai horror movie, of course I needed no persuasion to actually find the time to watch it, not even with the movie being 16 years old.
Well, now as the movie has ended, I am feeling that this is a shameless rip off of the Japanese "The Grudge" movies, as it was essentially the same storyline transpiring on the screen. A lady ghost and a little boy ghost, and they even had copied that classic and unique sound that the lady makes in "The Grudge", just not as loudly or as outstanding.
The storyline, while being straight forward, was actually a bit on the boring side. I caught myself looking at social medias a couple of times throughout the course of the movie. It just felt that it took writer and director Tiwa Moeithaisong forever to get from A to B.
As for the characters in the story, well let me just be the first to say that the character gallery was bland. In fact, it felt as if they were essentially all one and the same. It was hard to differentiate between the characters and notice where one character ended and the next one began. So on that account "The Sisters" was lacking tremendously.
However, there was some enjoyment to the movie. But keep in mind that this is by no account the most memorable or scary of ghost movies to make it out of the Thai cinema.
My rating of "The Sisters" lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.
