Reviews:
“Thai cinematography is typically good in their own cultural movie-themed settings, ala steamy, smoky and atmospheric with the usual anticipative something monstrous is about to jump at you type of boo! Just don’t expect this anywhere near their iconic 2004 Shutter.” Akira Hideyo

Notes:
An SLR is the acronym used for a single-lens reflex camera that typically uses a mirror and prism system (hence “reflex” from the mirror’s reflection) that permits the photographer to view through the lens and see exactly what image will be captured.
