Wonderfully offbeat film!
Sadly Over-hyped
Charming and brutal
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreWatched this because it was recommended by a friend, who said it was very good.It is excellent! It does not overly rely on jump scares, even though there is a big one at the end. The horror comes from the atmosphere of the story. It is well written with a great twist. Also, the characters are believable. There are no Mary Sues or Jack Sues. No one survives.PS: Have been doing a horror movie marathon recently. Watched End of the Line, Coming Soon, who are both very good, and Blair Witch, which is poor, even by Hollywood standards.Conclusion: Hollywood mainstream horror movies generally fail to be horrifying. Good horror movies are generally not as well known, but smartly crafted. They usually come from countries other than US.
View MoreI always say that if it is not that great, nor bad, it goes perfectly in the middle, so 5 it is! But Coming Soon did try to surpass its condition, therefore, I'll show my appreciation giving it a solid 6!Why? Because I had fun watching it, some good horror elements, good use of the audio, an ending harder to anticipate than usual, overall, a nice time in front of the screen! So I wont give you any hints, with the exception of "Try It!" and thank me later, Coming Soon, may not be something everyone heard of, but it does not make it any less better than most such productions. Underrated, underground, unheard, does not translate into bad! Watch it, works perfectly for a night late horror!Cheers!
View MoreI just watched this on TV today. What really scared me was the story plot - how it was set in a theater (having the potential to make people who watch in the cinema paranoid) and the realization at the end. No one would have thought the scene in the cursed movie of the old woman getting hung was real. But honestly I felt that the trailer of this movie was scarier than itself. There were few scenes trying to "jump" at the viewers; however, they were not very effective. I thought it was clearly overdone. If you're really looking for an absolute Thai horror movie I would suggest "Shutter." That was the scariest movie I have ever seen in my life (and I'm a huge horror movie fan) - the pacing was excellent and the whole plot is just horrific yet brilliant. Disappointed by this movie? Then go watch "Shutter," and I will assure you that you won't be let down!
View MoreComing soon is about a guy who works at a theater who makes a side living off of pirating movies. He starts to pirate a horror movie that just came out and weird things starts happening in his life.You later find out why it starts to happen to him. I Don't wanna spoil it by saying why it happens. Although the surprise and reason is pretty cool All in all it was pretty original and well done the idea is definitely not something i think has been done in a horror movie before which is why it is definitely worth watching. Some pretty well done scares happen in this one and with the movie not being overly long and straight to the point and not dragged out only adds to why its great.Although not a groundbreaking and revolutionary scary movie it stands out to me as a solid well done horror movie that should scare the average movie watcher pretty well. Definitely worth checking out
