” THE SWIMMERS ” ( 2014) THAI Movie Review.
Hey, if you are the type who love to ogle at pretty boys and sunshine girls, then don’t miss out on this pretty movie.
It’s crafted for the bold, brazen and arty, packaged with a wisp of raw sexuality to affix your eyes onto the cinema screen for 2 hours.
“THE SWIMMERS” is stacked with all kinds of horrors.
It is also a taut psychological thriller with twisted revelations to keep you guessing from start to finish.
The titular swimmers are two best buddies competing in the varsity swim team. They are Perth (Juthawut Pattarakamphon) and Tan (Thonphop Lirattanakhachon) .
Perth fantasizes about sex with Tan’s girlfriend called Ice (Supatsara Thanachart).
Having successfully wooed Ice, both of them set out to enjoy one torrid night of sex.
No, they did not use the rubber (condom).
Ice eventually becomes pregnant and she commits suicide by plunging down from the highest floor diving board onto the empty varsity pool below.
If not suicide, then is it murder most foul?
Because it is touted as a horror film, the female apparition eventually comes a-haunting.
The morale here is:
Please refrain from unprotected sex without using a rubber.
Should there be a leakage of sperm, you might get more trouble coming your way than you ever imagine.
The leads are not the star of this film.
Nope, the real stars of this movie are the tiny sperm, the tweeny-bit swimmers who deposit themselves inside a teenage girl creating an unwanted baby and generating consternation for everyone.
Ice’s mode of death is macabre, her body is splattered precariously at the bottom of the school’s empty swimming pool.
Suicide or murder? You guess.
For all that is worth, Perth is now guilt-and-grief stricken, despite a couple of red herrings signifying that there’s more than meet the eye, and that are other culprits .
He is haunted by the girl’s spirit nevertheless.
His buddy Tan,who is also grieving and angry, is determined to uncover the culprit who’s gotten his girlfriend pregnant. Ironically, he asks for Perth’s help.
Directed by Sophon Sakdapisit the film rocks with spooky hauntings, gore and is a nail-biter of a terrifying whodunit.
So you think the bad will be punished for his misdeed?
THE SWIMMERS will provide this answer.
And the end result will shatter your senses and leave you breathless!
It is superbly scripted with fine acting from the movie’s young trio.
Don’t miss this great movie that ends with a diabolical twist.
RATING: 4 out of 5
