P (2005)

- written November 19th, 2010

Summary: While growing up in rural Thailand, a young and beautiful orphan girl is taught the mysterious art of dark magic by her grandmother. When her grandmother falls sick, young Dau travels to Bangkok looking for work in order to earn enough money for medicine. She lands a job as an exotic dancer at a go-go club. Hesitant at first and ridiculed by the other dancers, circumstances force Dau to become an adult before her time and ultimately becomes the most popular and eerily seductive dancer at the club. Jealousies ensue and as her magic gets darker, the young girl gradually loses control as something abhorrently evil and wicked takes over.           Overall: Well for the most part the film comes off pretty much like a copy of “Showgirls” with some “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” thrown in. It stayed interesting for the most part…but it’s also really obvious how the plot will go and held no real mysteries. But I’m always a fan of films from other countries where at the least I can see a lot of good visual cinematography of their cities and landmarks.           Comparison: Showgirls meets Witches of Eastwick
