A group of friends from Bangkok decide to visit an abandoned house inhabited by a spirit who has the power to grant wishes, if promised the appropriate offering. With their graduation getting closer and closer, most of them pray for decent grades, but one of them, a skeptical girl called Moss, makes a mocking pledge that she will do anything in return for the satisfaction of her friend's desires. while their friends are careful to make sure they provide the promised offerings as their wishes are fulfilled, Muay, Pin, and Moss are not so diligent. Before long all three are subjected to a series of bloody manifestations, courtesy of an angry and vengeful spirit determined to collect what is owed.

Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Michael Ledo A group of young Thai girls go to a spirit shrine by an abandoned home, one with a past. They light their sticks, make a wish, and then promise a sacrifice if they get their wish, such as shaving their head, or 100 hard boiled eggs. The ghost makes scary cameo appearances to make sure she gets her stuff. One girl doesn't anti-up and it causes issues for her.Ho-Hum ghost story. Has some "scary" parts but for most of the feature I was bored.Parental Guide: No F words, sex, or nudity. English subtitles
morrison-dylan-fan Getting set for the October Horror Challenge I mentioned to my dad about gathering up flicks to watch for the event.As I started to roughly plan my viewings,my dad revealed that he had recently picked up an interesting looking Thai Horror,which led to me committing to the commitment.The plot:After finishing high school,a group of girl pals decide to visit the shrine,which is reported to be watched by a ghost.Instead of going for their first beer,the girls decide to celebrate their graduation by making wishes around the shrine. As the girls leave,the ghost appears and makes a wish for her own new friends. View on the film:Shot on grainy digital video,co-writer/(along with Lunchana Sartun & Chaowalek Sragtook) director Montri Kong-Im uses the rough edges of the format to his advantage,as the grit gives the title a gritty, eerie edge.Working on a low budget, Kong-Im commits himself to finding some spaces for a creepy style, weaved from the unsettling stop/start movement of the ghost's hair wrapping itself round a victim,to quick-fire edits digging into the bloody veins of the ghost's wish. Scrolling into the house with the girls,the writers give the title a body count Slasher shot,with the ghost taking her victims one by one. Aiming for some level of psychological terror between the girls and the ghost,the writers disappointingly dry the intriguing roots up by failing to give any of the victims unique character moments,as the ghost Thai's her victims.
Paul Magne Haakonsen This is definitely not one of the brighter moments in the history of Thai horror cinema. And chances are, if you enjoy Asian horror cinema as I do, that you will be sorely disappointed and bored when (and if) you sit down to watch "The Commitment".The title of the movie itself is sort of ironic, because it was progressively more and more difficult to commit to this movie as it trotted on and on in a very monotone and rather boring storyline.As for the storyline, well it didn't make any sense, to be blunt. You see an accident in the beginning of the movie and a girl running away from it. Then it changes to a group of young girls goofing around at a ceremonial site and pledging some rather dull things. Then it becomes a random collection of scenes of t he girls being haunted by some ghost. It just doesn't have any coherency and the red line was lost early on in the story.This is one of the most boring and dull Thai horror movies that I have seen, and it seemed pretty much like nothing more than a movie to show off a bunch of pretty Thai actresses.The only scary part about "The Commitment" was the lack of scares and the lack of a properly thought through storyline.If you enjoy Asian horror movies, or Thai horror movies in particular, then your money is better off spent elsewhere. If you manage to sit through this movie, as I did, it is the one and only time you will do so. There is nothing appealing about "The Commitment".
Josu A group of friends go to a place known as "the house of the spirits" where is said that if you make a wish and offer something good enough in exchange for the wish, it'll come true. After being there, everything seems to go fine for the girls as they wishes come true, but the things start getting wrong when some of them don't carry on the promises.This movie, is a perfect example of the typical Thai horror films, which have more in common with the occidental teenage horror flicks than with the Asian horror movies. Of course, not all Thai horror films are so bad, there are a few exceptions like "Shutter", but in general they are...In this case, there is almost nothing to save, the acting is quite bad, the story poor and predictable, some of the supposedly scary moments are hilarious (specially the two "hair attacks") and the final is....Also, there is one homage to Psycho and another one to One Missed Call that defines perfectly how bad is the movie.
