Thai director Lee Thongkam is shooting “The Bride,” a horror film that marks a rare co-production between Thai and Vietnamese companies.

​

Shooting is underway on The Bride, a horror thriller directed by Lee Thongkham that has been set up as co-production between Thailand and Vietnam.

Female stunt performer Wiriya Caesar will step up into the lead performer role in upcoming Thai action film “The 24.” The film project is being launched this week in the Cannes Market.

Production is through Thongkham Films, B-01 Films and Hugo Luquet’s newly launched Paris- and Bangkok-based Boz Pictures.

You may have already seen director Lee Thongkham's supernatural horror film The Maid, as the Thai production was released through the Netflix streaming service last July – making it the first Thai Netflix original. But if you don't have a Netflix subscription or you've been waiting for the chance to pick up a physical media copy of The Maid, we have some good news to share today. A year after its Netflix debut, The Maid is set to get a limited theatrical release on July 16th. A VOD release will follow on July 20th, and then The Maid is set to reach Blu-ray on August 17th.

Epic Pictures Group is bringing the award-winning action/comedy Kitty the Killer to audiences in the U.S., and Screen Rant has a first look. The movie was directed by Lee Thongkham, known for his other films The Lake and The Maid, and was written and directed by Thongkham. The movie has screened at festivals around the world and even won “Best Action Cinema” at the New York Asian Film Festival.

That manages to set the stage for “The Lake” to feature a slew of impressive creature action. Making good use of the creature’s size advantage over normal citizens, the initial sequences including the opening attack on the villagers at the lake or the later chase of Keng and Lin through the local rice paddies, offer a lot to like. These end up featuring high-energy action as their lightning-fast agility and physical weaponry are put to use in large-scale ambushes to wipe out and attack others. The confrontation with the police where they manage to capture it in the city streets is equally fun with a decidedly entertaining twist coming into play, keeping them from killing it. As well, a later sequence involving the massive mother arriving and stalking Pam, May, and James inside a stranded car as it looks for its missing egg being transported inside, is a truly chilling and suspenseful action scene.
