Dismembered bodies keep turning up around the city, the count keeps rising, and the police have nothing at all. In the end an offer is taken to a hitman in prison: find the killer and go free. Once he starts, the trail of the murders and the trail of his own childhood lead to the same small town. Kongkiat Khomsiri's 2009 Thai thriller ties the serial killer formula to a story about a town, and what it is really describing is a past nobody there will talk about. It is a harsh film that puts childhood abuse directly into the material. That makes it far from a film for everyone, and it remains one of the most argued-over Thai thrillers.
