Producers GMM Tai Hub have been keeping quiet about their upcoming horror anthology Phobia 2 thus far but with the September release coming just around the corner a flood of posters and plot synopses for the horror collection - expanded out to five stories for this edition - has arrived.
Yes, both Parkpoom Wongpoom and Banjong Pisanthanakun - who jointly directed both Shutter and Alone before making their solo debuts in the original Phobia - return for this edition as does Body #19 director Paween Purikijpanya, which is good news all around, but the most exciting bit to me is the reunion of Dorm director Songyos Sugmakanan with star Charlie Trairat, who is looking to make the successful transition out of being a child actor and seems to be doing so remarkably well. That's the Trairat poster included to the left here. The fifth slot here goes to long time producer - and one of the heads of the company - Visute Poolvoralaks who is making his directorial debut.
Looking at the premiere date: is 9 a bad number in Asia as well as 4?
Looking forward to this, I just watched 4BIA and thought it was good fun. No real new ideas, but well executed.
