Ladda Land (2011) Reviews
It's not just another haunted house next door. No, really.
Know what's scarier than figures lurking in the corner? The fact that your efforts to bring your family together become the very reasons they are slowly turning against you. While Sophon Sakdapisit doesn't do much to bring anything original to the haunted house yarn Ladda Land, he effectively ventures into each of his characters' psyche, turns them into real people with real concerns, and successfully fleshes out their fears — whether of this world or those of beyond. The title refers to a middle class subdivision in Chiang Mai, where a well-meaning man played by Saharat Sangkapreecha moves with his family to work for a drug supplement company. He has another reason for wanting to stay there — his mother-in-law hasn't forgiven him for marrying her daughter (Piyathida Woramusik) and makes his life miserable by rubbing in his faults and failures as a father to his two children. He's especially estranged to his 14-year-old daughter (Apinya Sakuljaroensuk), who grew up spoiled by her grandma. But aside from that, everything's going well with the household — that is until a brutal murder occurs at a nearby house and scary things start happening. It sounds standard but the narrative's arc from the near-perfect happiness of its characters and the world they inhabit to their slow and painful descent to paranoia and madness is near-perfectly smooth. Sakdapisit's skill in creating such trajectory is evident in how he begins the movie, with Sangkapreecha unpacking things and meticulously decorating the house, signifying his desire to start a new life for his family. It's a stark contrast to how it all ends, with bare and empty rooms except for a few objects thrown around, underpinning the tragic outcome despite the best intentions. There's convincing performances from everyone involved, too. Sangkapricha plays it with such subtlety that even when his character acts like an idiot as required of horror films (Why not call the police first instead of venturing into a murder site alone?), he never comes off as annoying. Woramusik and Sakuljaroensuk's characters are also defined more than other horror movies care to carve out secondary roles. As a horror film, Ladda Land teeters midway between the best to reach these shores and the worst of them. What's certain is that it works better when it focuses on the family rather than on the spooky things that go bump in the dark. It's wise enough to invest emotionally and ratchets up the tension so well that it even if it doesn't consistently bring in the scares, there's a constant feeling of anxiety.
Pure modern horror story: The ghosts of Capitalism!
And by pure horror a mean Thai horror - the master and king and ruler of them all horrors! This movie and/or story is for all you horror and suspense fans. It's also for all you drama fans and family love fans. And, last but not least: No electric special effects, no animations, only some masks. The story is pretty simple. A mid-young (over thirty) husband and father of two moves the family from Bangkok to another city in a nice suburban area called Laddaland. The area is, of course, guarded and fenced - a typical artificial "safe" place. He is the only employed member of their family with somehow steady job that allowed him this move in a first place (mortgage,wife not employed anymore). One day, brutally mutilated body of a young girl is found in one of the houses in the neighborhood, and soon after that, strange things begin to happen and the story slowly begin to unravel. But, the more we go in to the scary minutes and hours of the movie, the more is the story overflown with personal grief, money problems, job loses, anger, personal depression, lack of acknowledgment and LOVE. We start to see that it's all just one horror story, here and now, and they are the only ones that can say NO to it. And the less they resist the more they are drawn in to the world of depression, sadness and hate. All the ghost that are scaring are just the modern alternative to Zombies:"The ghosts of Capitalism!" As I said, this is a movie that uses RAW power to remind us about the current situation in the world is already exactly like in this movie, except without ghosts. If you don't call beggars and homeless Ghosts.... I highly, highly recommend it! PS It's more Drama then Horror ;)
Scream come true...
LADDALAND is yet another example of why Asian fright films are so vastly superior to American "horror movies." In this one, things seen and unseen, as well as things heard and unheard, combine to create the kind of all-important mood that is most often missing from U.$. movies. Here, we have a heavy-handed head of household whose dysfunctional family lives in one of those gated communities where it's easy to become "walled-in." There's a cat-cam and the wandering ghost of a murdered maid and a chilling game of hide-and-seek with a kid who turns out to be dead. As mentioned, the mood is sustained throughout (this is one of the most riveting movies I've seen in a while) and the ending is at once poignant and shocking. If you're looking for a solid fright film that delivers on all levels, look no further.
Thai Haunted village movie
SPOILERS ALERT: Well made Thai haunted horror house movie. A play on the usual story of a family relocating to a new home for a new life. What is great is that it starts off almost cheesily perfect - the families life is going to be perfect from hereon in. They are just asking for some bad things to happen. And it starts off idealistic, with a kind of Carpenters-esque type soundtrack. But slowly the cracks start to appear. Things are not what they seem. A murder in a house close by shakes the village. Other occurrences happen. People move out of other houses. What is good is that it is not just confined to their house. It is the whole neighbourhood. Gradually we see this descent into tension, paranoia and violence for everyone in the village. With a eery conclusion. There are messages here. About over extending yourself to get the ideal house and life. Taking on the mortgage, with a job that is not as secure as originally thought. Being fair to family members and not manipulating them. Also learning that darkness comes first with anger. We learn to hate his mother in law even though we never see her and in some ways blame her. Would he have moved there if not for her? Also the way she manipulated his own daughter against him. Poor chum never had a chance really. And all he wanted to do was make his families life better. Its almost a movie for MGTOW. Some really unusual takes on horror. The scene where he brutally treats the cat is realistic and actually is quite significant in the movie as it is the turning point into the descent. I haven't seen that kind of scene in any horror movie before. Other life challenges are dealt with. The husband loses his job and takes a low paid job. He does what he has to do to keep it all together. Of course, that turns out bad for him. But all he is just trying to do is his best. What is never addressed - is why this village is haunted. In American movies, it used to be because a house was built on an old native American burial ground. But here we get no explanation. I assume there is some kind of holy place that this modern shiny complex is built on. It seems to be an area of misfortune. People seem to lose jobs there. Is it related? Overall there is a message. Mothers in laws - don't be horrible to your sons in laws. Families, don't overextend yourself for the ideal house. And be prepared to walk away when you realise you live in a haunted village. Your family is more important.
Ladda Land: And it started so promisingly...
I love Thailand, I like Thai food (Provided it's not too spicy) and I love Thai culture. Sadly I really don't seem to like the Thai movie industry. Being the big nerd that I am I looked into it and I've seen 13 Thai films and the highest they go is 5/10. Being even more of a nerd I can confirm the average rating is an astounding 3.0. Ladda Land tells the story of a family who movies to essentially the Thailand equivalent of the suburbs. Before they know it odd occurrences begin to take place leading certain members of the family to believe that the village might be haunted. From the start I was fairly interested, it was developing nicely enough for about the first half of the film but then it gradually deteriorates. It's not only that the plot begins to fall apart but the characters being severely and unforgivably unlikable. The husband especially thanks to one needless scene, the mother (Again one scene especially) and the stroppy teenage daughter. If I can't care about the characters then why should I care about what happens to them? It's simply bad writing. I like some of the ideas presented here, I like the cover art, I like the ghost sfx and for the most part I liked the first half of the film. Sadly everything that happens after that point took everything I enjoyed beat it down and nailed it with a steel chair shot to the head repeatedly. Shoulda, coulda, woulda been better. The Good: First half is interesting Practical sfx are decent The Bad: Awful characters Second half falls apart badly
