‘Last Fright’ stars Chermarn ‘Ploy’ Boonyasak.

The latest Thai chiller is a four-part anthology that deals with different supernatural phenomena

If you're groaning inwardly at the thought of yet another horror flick, you are in for a pleasantly scary surprise with "See Phrang" ("4bia") the new GTH project that packs four chillers into one sitting.

"Shutter" director Banjong Pisanthanakul, who contributed "Khon Klang" ("In the Middle"), is offended that moviegoers would even think he'd serve up a dish gone cold.

"It's a very fresh idea," he promises.

Follow "Shutter" helmer Parkpoom Wongpoom who made "Last Fright", about a flight attendant forced to travel alone with a corpse, says "4Bia" is different from other horror anthologies such as "Three" because the directors worked together rather than competed to see who could make the scariest segment.

His first horror film

"There's a harmony that runs through the shorts. They build up to the climax in the fourth film. We don't want audiences to be on an emotional roller-coaster; we've learned from previous experiments," says veteran filmmaker Yongyooth Thongkongtoon, who directed "Ngao" ("happiness"), about a girl who unleashes weird happenings after sending an SMS to a stranger.

"It's my first horror film, so I'm the rookie here," says the director of the successful comedy "Satree Lex" ("Iron Ladies"). "It's been a challenge to work on one set with one actress."

'The Twilight Zone'

Paween Purijitpanya directs "Yan Sung Tai" ("Tit for Tat") written by cartoonist Ekasit Thairath, about a manuscript that brings death to anyone who touches it.

"It doesn't feel like you're watching four separate short films but more like four episodes of "The Twilight Zone" that come together in a surprising finale," says Paween.

"See Phrang" ("4Bia")" opens today in cinemas.
