A graphic horror movie from Thailand....

It was made in 1981 and starred Pojed Kaenpetch, Naowarat Yooktanun, Lor Tok (who died in 2002 after a career of more than 1,000 movies !) and Phochet.

Don't ask me the name of the director, all the credits being written in Thai and in the absence of a real database... But if anybody can read the language I would be pleased to have some additional infos on cast and crew.

Synopsis : An unscrupulous doctor kills a man in order to steal his eyes. The doctor uses them in order to cure his blind wife. But the ghost wants to get his eyes back... "

Sometimes very graphic and sometimes hilarious, this is considered as a kind of classic in Thailand. More recently, another movie called "Phee ta boh" was made, with Ratree Withawat, but I don't know if it was a remake or a totally different movie.

What's it about?
From what I can tell (the film is in Thai language only), it is the Thai version of Eyes Without a Face! Sort of. A doctor's daughter is scarred in a car accident and he is intent on restoring her face. He kills a man and steals his eyes and transplants them to his daughter. However, the cadaver is soon vengeful and wants his eyes back! He rises from the grave, terrorizing the doctor and his family

All I can say is WOW! What a great little film that I've been searching for for ages! This is a TRUE Thai horror for once! It even has a healthy dose of GORE! The film has an amazing sequence early on which is quite graphic: the doctor gorily removes his daughter's damaged eyes, placing the eyeballs in a beaker! Yes, you actually see the removed eyes (optical nerve and all!), and there is a very gory closeup of the doctor removing the eyes from the sockets (the sockets spouting blood). Kind of reminded me of a scene from the "Guinea Pig" Flowers of Flesh and Blood episode.
And it doesn't stop there! The vengeful corpse is a sight (no pun intended!) to behold. He rises from his grave in the inky black Thai forest, stumbling around with bleeding, eyeless sockets. He holds out his hands, moaning for his eyes. And he even attacks the villagers with his arm that extends into this long, slithery serpent thing and strangles them! Awesome! The ending of the film is a showstopper, in which he fires (superimposed) eyeballs at his victims! He also rips the eyes out of members of the doctor's (presumably) family! And yes it's fairly bloody too! In one scene a pair of eyeballs even grow on a tree! This is definitely the best Thai horror I've seen. Hell, it even has an effectively eerie electronic score (although it may very well be pirated).
While it is unevenly paced and does have that achilles heel of so much Thai horror (broad humor), it is kept to a pleasing minimum. DEFINITELY seek this rarity out!

Thai, no hardsubs or subs whatsoever probably not terribly needed anyway :lol:, my guess would be it's straight vcd, specs:

Code:
Phi ta bo CD1.mpg, 698Mb
video: 352x288 01:07:17 25fps MPEG1 1.2Mbps
audio: 44KHz  01:07:17 Stereo 224Kbps

Phi ta bo CD2.mpg, 493Mb
video: 352x288 00:47:32 25fps MPEG1 1.2Mbps
audio: 44KHz  00:47:32 Stereo 224Kbps


and another cap as the cherry:

I can confirm it was ripped from my own original VCD.
Other titles are coming, I'll tell you directly on this forum...
