This movie was quite poor to begin with. You had a cliché mysterious old women who scared you a little bit and a comical storyline. I did not like that at all. The movie then progresses to something that seemed like a 60s horror movie in a modern format. Did not work.My favourite part of the movie was the autism scenes, sure the makeup on the 'scary autistic' was sub standard but it had a vintage like quality as i mentioned before, but this time it actually worked.Of course you had the let down ending, clichéd, rushed and poor. Even the pathetic attempt at a 'clever' twist failed to save this movie. All I can say is this was my first time watching a Thai Horror Movie, wasn't impressed, I'm hoping the acclaimed Shutter will be better.

When Prae (Pimpan Chalaikupp) gets pregnant, her boyfriend Pong (Vittaya Wasukraipaisan) decides to marry her and they move to the house of Pong's mother. When their slow next door neighbor Benn gives old newspaper to Prae, her house catches fire and Benn dies totally burnt. Prae has a nervous breakdown and delivers her baby, the healthy Pan. When Pan is brought home, he uninterruptedly cries. Pong and Prae go to the doctor and he believes that baby has colic and will be better after six months old. However the baby never stops crying and Pong, his mother, Prae and her sister Jean (Kulthida Sattabongkoch) go with the baby to a monk in the temple and to an institute seeking an answer. On the eve of Pan's first anniversary, they discover that the baby is the reincarnation of an evil spirit and the souls of people that he had hurt in his past life want to wound him."Colic: Dek Hen Pee" is an Asian horror movie with an interesting premise, the counterpoint of the pain of colic and reincarnation. The viewers that believe in reincarnation certainly will appreciate this movie much more than me since I found the conclusion disappointing. The creepy atmosphere is scary, especially the scene with the autistic interns in the institute; but there is a poor development of Benn and the accident with Pong's mother is too forced. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Vidas Passadas" ("Past Lives")

The cover of the DVD already gives away one of the creepy moments in this Thai Horror Movie although its not too important to the plot. Colic is about a couple that is expecting a baby. The woman forces her boyfriend to get married and they move to a new house. Strange things start to happen soon and when the baby is born it won't stop crying, which is explained as the condition to be a colic but turns out to be something very different. There are some nice scary moments often reminding me a lot of the Poltergeist Movies with an Asian flair of course. I liked the scene with the autistic kids in the hospital in that the movie fuses the boundaries of modern science and knowledge with the supernatural and a very Asian philosophy on it. Colic is basically a Ghostmovie trying to incorporate other elements and although it has its upsides there is also passages where the movie is dragging a lot. The final explanation left me rather disappointed and with a feeling that the story somehow didn't quite add up. There is sure a lot worse movies than colic but I don't think Colic is a movie that one needs to know since most scares have been there before and the whole movie seems a little undecided on where it wants to go.

I happened to chance upon the trailer and I thought that the premise of this story was a very fresh and interesting idea and the film seemed pretty interesting, that prompted me to catch this film without reading any prior reviews about it. It was only after watching the film and having a good impression of it that I read some pretty bad reviews about this film.The premise of the film is very interesting, incorporating the supernatural and medical research to create a very real feel to the film. And there's a strong plot which sadly quite a number of horror films lack. The acting and emotions of the lead actors and actresses were very well executed, and their love for their child and the extent they went to protect their child was very touching. The supporting cast was very likable, which made the twists of the film very sudden and very shocking. The background music aided in the suspense of the film and provided an eerie enough atmosphere.One thing different about this horror film that I liked is the tone down on the use of 'ghosts', in place was just the effects of the supernatural forces. I also like the use of in-your-face graphic images which was also something scary, and horror-filled on its part. The style of the film reminds me quite like The Eye.In all, I feel that this is still a good film to recommend and a fresh change of the usual horror films palette offered.
