“Night Of The Killer Bears” Thai Slasher, Campy Horror

Kanpong Banjongpinit co-wrote and directed Night of the Killer Bears. The story follows five teenage friends who live in Bangkok—a long time has passed since they’d seen each other. They decide to vacation together at a quiet, low-end retreat isolated from the city.

Matters turn dark because each friend has a secret, which becomes revealed while someone outside the group watches them.

The brutal murder of one friend motivates the survivors to accuse each other of being the murderer. Yet they consider the possibility that the murderer is not one of them. Someone else in their midst, observing them. If that is the case, they all are in danger.

Killers in bear costumes swing sabers and bisect teenagers while slashing off heads with vicious slices. It’s a bloody mess.

Possibly Banjonginit movie is a play on the franchise horror slasher Scream.

It’s funny but too campy for my taste. With the English subtitles, you’ll get by with the simple and sparse dialogue.

The cast includes Sananthachat Thanapatpisal as Aim, Patchata Jan-Ngern as Win, Khemanit Jamikorn as Som, and Chanagun Apornsutinan as Tony.
