THE VICTIM


The Victim is a 2006 Thai horror film co-written and directed by Monthon Arayangkoon; and starring Pitchanart Sakakorn, Apasiri Nitibhon, Penpak Sirikul, and Kiradej Ketakinta.

The very young and talented actress Ting hopes to become a popular actress around Thailand for what she has been preparing for some time. When it finally happens, her first serious acting job is a rather creepy one. She is hired by the Royal Thai Police to stand in for murder victims in awkward reenactments of mysterious crimes. Even though she knows that she will be doing it to aid the investigation process, Ting however, takes her time to offer prayers of apology to the victims' souls. Her top moment comes when she is asked to play Meen, a former Miss Thailand who was brutally killed and cut to pieces in a motel bathtub. This seems like a role for which Ting might gain a lot of attention, so she begins to prepare for it with a little research, ending up rehearsing in the very bathtub where the victim was killed. As she continues to dig into the victim's life, Ting is drawn deeply into Meen’s own life. But Meen’s tortured and vengeful spirit starts to slowly take over Ting’s life. Ting feels more and more connected to the spirit of Meen, who helps her to solve the mystery. However, the whole dealing with ghosts is not over, and it seems for Ting that fantasy and reality are entwined in yet another ghost story.
