Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This was a neat concept. When it comes down to being scary, it wasn't getting it done for me. There wasn't a lot of dialogue and I think that is what really took away from it. I didn't feel connected to the characters. It's not bad but it's not great. It was an ok watch for me.

I always say that if it is not that great, nor bad, it goes perfectly in the middle, so 5 it is! But Coming Soon did try to surpass its condition, therefore, I'll show my appreciation giving it a solid 6!Why? Because I had fun watching it, some good horror elements, good use of the audio, an ending harder to anticipate than usual, overall, a nice time in front of the screen! So I wont give you any hints, with the exception of "Try It!" and thank me later, Coming Soon, may not be something everyone heard of, but it does not make it any less better than most such productions. Underrated, underground, unheard, does not translate into bad! Watch it, works perfectly for a night late horror!Cheers!

The start of this movie is really dark as a Crazy women who kidnaps kids pulls there eye out and as little girl tries to escape , then there parents come and they finds out what she did to their kids and and beat the old lady and they hang her, then it turns out to be movie that people are watching in a cinema. One of the work goes back to cinema late night, so he friend could record the movie and sell the movie before it get released however anyone who sees the end of the movie, strange things start to happen in the cinema.This movie had great story and some really good turns in the story I didn't not see coming, there was some scenes that made me JUMP!, while I still getting of that scare and other scene that made me scream (I must be getting old lol ) as I was not ready for that scare.This movie can be confusing near the end but it dose kind of make sense, The acting from everyone in this movie is great, also I like the fact it's a short movie and it never gets boring.If you like Midnight movie (2008) I liked it, it was fun, you will really like this movie as it so much better and a lot more creepy then Midnight movie (2008).I going give this movie 8 out 10

What a bloody confusing title. "Coming Soon is now showing!"Sorry, had to do that.The only redeeming thing about calling the film Coming Soon is that it makes sense, after you've actually seen it. It combines film piracy and horror, which I think is a far more effective way keeping film pirates away from movie prints than anti-piracy trailers. The two film pirates here are Yod and Shane, both working as cinema projectionists who are assigned the task of recording an unreleased horror film, Revengeful Spirit. Turns out this film isn't just spooky film-wise, it seems haunted! (I'm sure you didn't expect that.) When Yod goes missing, Shane is convinced the deranged woman in the film is out to get him, and for that matter, anyone who watches a particular scene. Kinda like in The Ring, except consistent with Sopon Sukdapisit's writing efforts (Shutter and Alone), the "ghost" also has a sob story to tell. That's where the twist comes in, but it wouldn't be a twist if I told you, so
heh.I like my horror movies with a good, meaty story, and Coming Soon offers quite a good spread, except it's plagued by more flaws and loopholes than I would've liked. It's disappointing to see glimmers of something potentially good get buried under a pile of clichéd scare tactics, something the movie does incessantly. Also, it's a bit slow on the pacing, which takes away a good part of the horror and surprise. On the whole, it has a very promising idea, though sadly the script needed a few more re-writes, and the writer himself could do with hiring a different director. This is Sopon Sukdapisit's directorial debut, though it looks like he's better off just doing the writing.I wouldn't call Coming Soon scary, unless you're easily frightened. Think heavy make-up and sound effects. It has very little of the dreaded tension in Shutter and Alone, though I think that's a flaw due to the film's pacing and directing than the actual script. Some scenes border on being repetitive and annoying, so much so I found myself going, "I get it, I get it, OK?" There's good use of ambiance though, and
well, dark empty cinemas are already creepy anyway. More dramatic than scary, you probably won't feel crept out while watching it in the same setting as the supposedly haunted one in the film. The novelty of a horror movie set in a cinema hasn't been met, and I hope someone else does something about it.
