Movie Quote -
"May: It’s in the top 5 most haunted places"
“Bullshit.”
It’s all I can reply to this attempting to make use “history” of Hashima as background
story of this haunted movie.
OK, Let’s go
to the movie, the plot itself is quite simple and belong to typical ghost movie
, where you will a got 5 thing as listed below,
1. Cast that formed by homesome boys and pretty girls
2. A lot of Ghost faking scene that made up just to scare audience.
3. Some stupid guys/girls will do some stupid things that lead up to entire movie.
4. Ghost or haunted spirit will go and track them down , directly or indirectly.
5. A final twist in the end where the movie mainly treat audience as dumbass to trick with.
And there u
go, Project Hashima~
Directed by
Piyapan Choopetch (Necromancer, Vow of Death), Story started off with a group
of young movie college graduate, formed by Off (Alexander Rendell), Nan (rom-com/horror star Apinya
Sakulkaroensuk), May (Sushar Manaying), Nick (Pirat Nipitpaisalkul)and Dog (Mek
Mekwattana). After attempting to interview to movie company with their horror
film has failed, they decided to uploading the video to Youtube, which gaining a
lot of views and finally a deal from another movie production company, Ghostland
approached and offer them to shoot a documentary movie which based on the
inhabited island, Hashima, which they accepted later on. But neither of them could
foresee mysterious and tragedies that finally coming for them as they returned
to their home, Bangkok.
Well that is
basically the whole synopsis of the movie, which I don’t have any interest to
elaborate more. But I will share some interesting fact about Hashima,
1. Hashima
- the once vibrant but now entirely abandoned Japanese island has inspired Sam
Mendes' vision of the villain Silva's lair in Bond movie Skyfall
2. Hashima
in reality, has never been regarded as a paranormal hub, let alone "the
top five haunted places on Earth", as explained in the film.
3. The
island was populated from 1887 to 1974 as a coal mining facility. As petroleum
replaced coal in Japan in the 1960s, coal mines began shutting down all over
the country, and Hashima's mines were no exception. Mitsubishi officially
announced the closing of the mine in 1974, and today it is empty and bare,
which is why it is called Ghost Island.
4. The
island's most notable features are the abandoned and undisturbed concrete
apartment buildings and the surrounding sea wall.
If you are interesting enough to dig some of real Hashima footage, why don’t you dig on this guy’s research? It’s an interesting and “real” Hashima Project!
(This website itself is more thrilling than movie if u asked me..)
