A girl gets possessed by the Pob demon at a class
trip and once back at the college it's time to eat.
A couple of friends soon realize what's wrong
with the girl called Gir and have to try to stop
the demon before it takes more lives.


Body Jumper gives you the impression that it will
be a horror movie but really it's more of a spoof.
There are many scenes where you laugh your brains
out at dumb jokes without brains, much like in Scary
Movie only better. The movie looks quite high budget
and I just love Thai so it didn't bother me at all
that I had to read subtitles. What's negative about this
movie is that some of the jokes are a bit TOO stupid
to be funny and many times overused. Other than
that this is a pretty flawless movie.

The acting is great from what I understood, it's really
hard to judge by having to read subtitles, but to me
it seemed as if they were doing a great job. The
directing is also very good and the effects are
eye-catching. This movie looks very high budget
and it probably had a reasonable budget aswell.
The picture on the DVD release is almost
perfect except from the darkness, which looks
a bit pixelated.

I simply love Body Jumpers box art, it's colourful
and eye-catching and it's really just extraordinary.
The Thai movie industry has obviously gotten a lot
better the last two years with movies like Body
Jumper and 999-9999 in the lead. I hope that
we will get to see more hip Thai teen horror movies
in the near future, I can't wait to see what
more they have to offer.


One gets lots of nails in the foot but in a
humorous scene and in one scene the Pob demon
rips out the liver from ones body but
it's really nothing to get all worked up about. 


I love the soundtrack for Body Jumper, most of
it is in Thai but that doesn't change the fact
that it rocks. We get a lot of techno music
and I'm pretty sure that there was a remix of
Who Let The Dogs Out in there as well.
We also get some sensual guitar music
and some rock/pop music.


Hilarious Thai horror comedy that has a lot
to offer. I strongly recommend this to anyone who
can enjoy a subtitled movie since both horror fans
and spoof fans can enjoy it. It's not really a
spoof but still in some way it is so you can watch
it with an open mind and don't worry about
what genre it is. A must see.
