13 BELOVED Director Returns To Horror With THE EYES DIARY. Watch The Trailer!
There was a period of time back in the early 2000s when it appeared that Thailand could do no wrong int he film arena. International audiences were treated to wave after wave of young talent across a broad range of genres to the point where it seemed every time you turned around you were tripping over yet another new, exciting project. And in that wave one of the brightest was Chookiat Sakweerakul, the writer-director (at a ridiculously young age) of international horror hit 13 Beloved.

Sakweerakul appeared poised to be the next big thing following 13 Beloved - there was a sequel announced that has never gone anywhere, sadly - and while he has gone on to major success since, that success has been entirely within Thailand on the back of a string of hugely acclaimed and commercially successful relationship dramas with his genre roots nowhere to be found. But he's back to where he started with the upcoming horror effort The Eyes Diary.

When "Death" begins to proof how much "Love" is worth.
It has been three months since Nott (Punjan) become full of sadness and suffering like he has never been. It's because that one night that cause him to lose Pla (Focus) his beloved girlfriend in the motorcycle accident.
He wants to forget but can not, his hear is full of guilt and sorrow that his heart almost burst with grief. The only way for him to get through this is to meet Pla again in her afterlife. He tries to find a way to see ghost. Finally, he decides to join the emergency crew volunteer and secretly picked up the belongings of the dead ones for himself. He thinks that by doing that, he will be able to see ghosts, then he will be able to see Pla. However, things are not that simple. Nott has never met any ghost while his house mate see them all the time until no one dares to stay in the house anymore Only Motta (Maeko) his friends seem to understand him and is always ready to stand with him.
John (Jack) his friend at the volunteer foundation tries to tell him not to ask for problem, seeing spirits are not things to be taken lightly. Nott does not listen to Jack because Nott wants to tell Pla something. Nott elevates his challenges to confront with all the haunting spirits so they might lead him to Pla. Will he be able to meet Pla as hoped? Will he be able to tell Pla what he wants to? Because he has never expected that everything that is happening is under Pla watchful eyes.
There's a strong strand of melodrama here, to be sure, but when things go dark they go very dark. Take a look at the English subtitled trailer below.
