Saikaew moves into a new apartment and becomes a student at the Bangkok University. She soon meets a young girl in the apartment building who calls herself "Little Sister" and grows fond of Saikaew in no-time. Strange things start to happen and it doesn't take long before Saikaew's friends start suspecting that something evil is lurking within the building, not to mention inside her apartment.
"CUT! Let's just forget about making this stupid movie, let's go burn that sloopy written script and in the future just watch movies instead of trying to make them ourselves". That's something director Mr. Nasron Panuangkasiri should've said to his crew, but instead he went along and spewed out this horrible little film upon the world. The Mansion: Sister is such a terrible movie I'm not even sure where to begin with my complaints, because the fact is that there are not just two or three things that are bad here, it's all just a great mess. What we're dealing with here is a low-budget DTV Thai flick that truly fooled me with its nice looking cover. Usually I don't pick what movies to watch based on what cover they have, but this cover just looked so cool, I figured I had to give it a shot and needless to say, that was one huge mistake.
While the cover looks clean as hell, the actual movie looks like shit and not only does it look like shit, but the whole film is practically shit defined. It might sound a bit harsh, but watch it for yourself and I'm pretty much sure you'll agree with me. The 'brilliant' story of the film deals with Saikaew, a female student who moves into a new apartment where she soon meets a young girl, a kid who calls herself "Little Sister". The girl is a ghost and she grows fond of Saikaew, without that Saikaew knowing that she's actually a ghost. This little sisters has a big sister who's haunting the apartment building as well, but we don't get to see too much of her. Now, I'm not sure if that's good or bad since the bigger sisters is the only thing in the movie that actually delivers some horror - problem though is that the horror doesn't work at all. So if we get to see her, we get some horror, when we don't get to see her it's just lousy written drama all the way and I'm not sure what is worse.
Anyway, "Little Sister" starts hanging around Saikaew and her friends start to notice that something is wrong with the building that she lives in. The little sister wants Saikaew to herself, and so scares off her friends when visiting. Uhh, the story itself is just horrible and I see no reason why to write more about it. I can't think of one reason why you'd wanna take time to watch this film as the only thing it has going for it is the fact that it only lasts for 51 minutes, but on the other hand, it's sort of a rip-off as well considering the fact that you've probably paid full price for it. The Mansion: Sister seems like a classic example of some idiot who has been watching other (much better) Asian horror films and then wanted to try and create something on his own. Problem though is that making a film requires some brains, something that the director should've looked into before he started.
It's pretty frightening that movies like this are being released and that people who have no skills whatsoever get to make emī. This one really had nothing going for it and was just a waste of film. Take my advise and stay far away from this ugly creation.
