‘Ghost Game’ Film Made in Thailand
Wednesday, May 10th, 2006Already fragile relations between Cambodia and Thailand have been put to the test once again by the release of the Thai movie “Ghost Game,” which revisits Cambodia’s bloody Khmer Rouge past. ThaRum Bun gauges the reactions by Cambodian bloggers and reminds us that just a few years ago the “Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh was burnt down” in anti-Thai rioting.
Recently released Thai movie ‘Ghost Game,’ modelled after a Khmer Rouge torture center, has attracted fair bit of public attention. The movie, entirely a work of fiction, tells the story of a reality TV show where the contestants spend time in a deserted jail. To win the game the contestants must successfully ward off the ghosts haunting the jail.
