It's not a trip to Thailand, the land of smiles without a local, Thai film.
SLR is the latest in the supernatural, horror genre. Thai style.
Dan, a photography major student, has been working on his thesis with professor Aim for years, but he can't complete it yet. One day, professor Aim gave an SLR camera to him for shooting the best work and sending it to her.
Dan is about to find out that it's a test of an evil camera, which gives him no way to run away. He has to choose between following or fighting with it. And he is going to let Nam, his girlfriend, and his friend, Great, to join in this horrendous fate, surrounding by death from this hell-like camera.
Starring an all star Thai cast Korapat Kirdpan, Cherprang Areekul, Sadanont Durongkaweroj, Nophand Boonyai, SLR starts out strong, however there is a moment where the film takes a weird ass turn.
I enjoyed the first half a lot, the second half a bit. It's an interesting take on the horror/supernatural genre. Trying to bring back old school photography in an iPhone/smart phone/camera world this was fun.
I enjoyed film, the Thai's do scary whilst also being fun well. SLR could be my jump out of the seat/horror film of 2022. Although I won't get ahead of myself, the horror genre has been really overcrowded the past few years.
3 stars.
