Jaturaphut was hired 3hrs before filming began, after the previous lead quit. Mom worked 3 jobs to keep her daughter out of The Life. She wanted to help by becoming an actress. Dark skinned, not tall, with no pro connections or training, no chance. Auditioned for P, signed for small part, thought too young to carry the lead. Paul Spurrier (PS) coached her; native talent is hers. Net chatter says: a very accurate portrayal of The Life in Bangkok, and of village life. Respectful of the cultural traditions of Thai magic and spirits: daily Thai life. Many Thai viewers see the film as almost documentary in depictions of both The Life and of Phii Bawp possession. Metaphor for drug addiction: beautiful child trains herself to be someone she is not, in order to earn money, by means available, not strong enough to resist victimization by the evil she allows in body. PS hired actors via open call, the go go bars: never through the cartel of agents, managers & movie houses in Thailand. Some actors are real prostitutes. It moves me deeply. PS shows tremendous respect for women in poverty, for The Life, for the cultural traditions of Thailand. It nearly ruined Spurrier financially; US distributors were not interested. PS plays the owner of the bar in this. Yes, that guy: gentle smile and predatory eyes. Editing in this: the first car ride from the bus station, the dancing sequences, city life. Music is haunting: most composed by PS with no formal training. No vanity film, in traditional sense. PS did so much because there was nobody else. He risked everything for a film that could have sat on a shelf, without distribution. Thai audiences love it. Our lead actress? She gave every baht she earned to her sick mom, to pay for hospital care. This film is a miracle. Visit the web sites and see. I swore I would never give horror more than 3*s. Rogi Riverstone
