Time Out says

A family on the verge of falling apart moves to a more affluent neighbourhood in Chiang Mai with the clear intention of improving their lives and reconnecting with one another. A horrifying murder case, however, ignites the fire and threatens their already fragile relationships.

Laddaland is, at its core, a drama film that explores the aftermath of the crippling economic crisis in Thailand during the 1990s, despite the onslaught of jolting terror scenes and haunting apparitions. Furthermore, it boldly confronts taboo issues about class, gender roles and immigrants, making it a film with a clear social message that uses ghosts as a mere entertainment tool.

Laddaland was a hit with both critics and the public. This film is an emotional rollercoaster ride, so make sure you have a box of tissues within reach. It's more than just jump scare tactics.
