Yuthlert Sippapak's GHOST OF VALENTINE (KRASUE VALENTINE), starring 'Ploy' Jindachoti and Pitisak Ya
The official website for Yuthlert Sippapak's Ghost of Valentine (Krasue Valentine) isn't online yet; however, the URL for it is http://www.ghostofvalentine.com/ . (Thanks to Joshua Pettigrew for bringing this to the attention of ScreenAnarchy.) The movie apparently stars 'Ploy' Jindachoti and Pitisak Yaowananon. Sahamongkol Film International Co. Ltd. is scheduled to release it theatrically in Thailand on February 16th.
According to View from the Brooklyn Bridge, "the Phii Krasue is a very scary ghost in Thai mythology. It consists of a flying head with entrails hanging from it and a voracious hunger for blood and intestines. It uses its long flicking tongue to lick the dead carcass and sharp teeth to chew on it. It has a similarity with a ghost type from Malaysia called the penanggalan ('head with dancing intestines'). This type of ghost has been depicted at least a couple of times previously in Asian films with Hong Kong's 'Witch with the Flying Head' (1977) and Indonesia's 'Mystics In Bali' (1981)."
Sippapak's previous directing credits include Buppah Rahtree and Buppah Rahtree Phase 2: Rahtree Returns.
