Your review of Attack 13 made me want to pull up the film and study the frame by frame choices. I liked how you caught the tension between its slick, fast pacing and the deeper threads about bullying and morality. The mention of Tony Scott’s volleyball montage was a sharp nod, and I could see what you meant about how the athletic energy fades once the supernatural takes over. There’s something satisfying about a horror movie that borrows from Carrie and Jennifer’s Body but still carries its own regional soul.
As someone who lives for both horror craft and the way culture shapes story, I found myself curious about how the film’s Thai identity shifts the familiar revenge tropes. You reminded me that what lasts in horror isn’t always the scare, it’s the mirror it holds up. Keep digging into films like this. It’s clear you watch them with a filmmaker’s eye and a historian’s patience.
Thanks firstly for reading and also for your detailed, positive response. I really appreciate that! That makes me so happy.
I'm glad to hear that you watched and enjoyed 'Attack 13.'
I lived in Bangkok for 3 years but to be honest I wasn't 100 % sure how people who might not have much experience with Thai culture would appreciate it but I'm pleased to see some other positive reactions and reviews on social media recently.
I hope to write some more horror reviews next month when I have time.
Adding to my watch list! 🍿
