The Coffin

Caught "The Coffin" with bro and Knott at Century Square. Rather nice show but I felt it could have been scarier though.







Synopsis : Inspired by a true Thai ritual of lying in coffins to get rid of bad luck and prolong life, THE COFFIN is a supernatural thriller about a young man and a young woman who decide to go through the ritual in Thailand. Chris, a claustrophobic architect does it in the hope of saving his fiancĂ©e who’s dying of terminal cancer. Sue, a nutritionist visiting Thailand from Hong Kong does it to save her own life after being diagnosed with a lethal brain tumor - one week before her wedding. After the ritual, Chris and Sue experience what appear to be miracles in their respective lives. But soon, they find themselves confronted by a series of bizarre and terrifying incidents. With the help of a professor specializing in paranormal cases associated with the ritual, they set out to exorcise the ghosts that haunt them, and attempt to reverse the wheel of karma. Thrilling, mysterious and ultimately moving, THE COFFIN is a spine-chilling horror about the beauty of life and death, and coming to face to face with living and dying. It was shot in six provinces across Thailand on actual locations including a 100-year-old temple, real cemeteries, inside active crematorium chambers and an ancient meditation cave.

Main Cast: Karen Mok, Ananda Everingham, Andrew Lin

After watching the show, I feel that what will happen will happen. The wheel of karma will continue to spin. No point stopping it. Then again, we are just mere mortals. When we are driven to the point of desparation, we will try anything just to get things to work out. Well, I guess what we can safely do is to accumulate good karma to rid bad luck.
