This notoriously creepy movie is about a female ghost, Natre, haunting her ex-boyfriend, Tun. The story starts off with Tun and his current girlfriend, Jane, running over a mysterious young woman.

We assure you after you watch this movie, you’ll never look at shoulder aches or photographs in the same way, ever again. Release: 2004 2. Coming Soon

Tricia Marrapodi once said that being a twin is like being born with a best friend. But this was certainly not the case for the pair of twins in this movie, Pim and Ploy, who were conjoined at the stomach from birth. The story starts off sweet and nice with both twins promising to stay together until they die but, obviously fate has it another way for them. While they were staying in the hospital, the twins meet a boy named Wee and both fall for him. However, Wee only had eyes for the sweet Pim. Ploy who was always harsh got jealous of Pim, causing the twins to get into a huge fight. They then decided to undergo surgery, which was, unfortunately, only partially successful, with Pim being the sole survivor. After the surgery, Pim starts experiencing a series of hauntings of Ploy. Only, is she really Pim? Or is she Ploy? Release: 2007 4. 4bia

If one horror movie is not enough to satisfy the inner-horror movie fan in you, we are you to try watching 4bia – a horror movie that consists of four short scary movies that are creepily related. The first part tells the story of a young woman who communicates with the outside world only via text message. But here’s the twist – she seems to be also communicating with otherworldly creatures. The second part tells the story of a young boy who witnesses a group of friends taking drugs and is beaten to death. This young boy’s spirit then lingers around haunting the group of perpetrators. The third part narrates how a group of four friends drowns but none of them except for one, accepts their death. And finally, the fourth part is about a flight attendant that has to fly on board an aeroplane with only one other person – a corpse. Release: 2008 5. Body #19

This story tells the story of a boy, Chon, who has recurring vivid nightmares about a girl being cruelly murdered and dismembered and put back together. It is slowly revealed that the people who knew the woman always end up dead. Chon then decides to go on a mission to find out more about his nightmares, just that he got more than he bargained for. Release: 2007 6. Ladda Land

Slightly similar to Hollywood’s Paranormal Activity sans the weird and vomit-inducing cinematography, Ladda Land tells the story of a family who relocates to Ladda Land from Bangkok in hopes of a better life. Obviously, the family got more than what they asked for, experiencing eerie haunting by the families who used to live there. But, has unfortunately passed on due to marital discord.
