But when they've reached into the realm of action and fantasy with an eye on the international market, the results have been less than spectacular.<BR/><BR/>That said, I haven't seen their horror effort from last year, <B>Perng Muang the Haunted Drum</B>. I wonder if I should make an effort to track it down.<BR/><BR/>And I would love it if <B>Deep in the Jungle</B> so blew me away that I could include in my year-end top five.<BR/><BR/>I will try to see it without any expectations whatsoever.Wise Kwaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462741207572023832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762681276595673682.post-51566432312842003172008-12-09T20:33:00.000+07:002008-12-09T20:33:00.000+07:00Ummmm?

The Trailer doesn't look too bad to me, but possibly that's just that I don't get to see a lot of "snake woman" films in my part of the world.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm neutral about it because I don't really have any opinion on Jesdaporn Pholdee as a soap opera star..... to me an actor is simply an actor.<BR/><BR/>It's one I'll probably want to see if I can find it when it comes out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762681276595673682.post-21051371621112724262008-11-11T12:45:00.000+07:002008-11-11T12:45:00.000+07:00Why would he do this do himself?
