Upcoming Thai Dramas: 2023+ Edition
Hello! I have returned with the final part of my horror movie recommendations. On the left are some refresher terms from the last article on how I categorise my horror movies. This recommendation list will contain movies that fall in most, if not all, categories of this list. I hope you enjoy it! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ | Serious horror Purely intended to be scary. Comedic horror Where even though there are ghosts running around, you'll be laughing more than jumping off of your sofa. Narrative horror Puts a lot of importance on the storyline and/or moral values. Trash horror Just has jump-scares on jump-scares but a shallow plot-line, if any at all. |
