Suay Laak Sai (Sick Nurses), a Thai horror film about a group of seven nurses and a doctor who are involved in a somewhat vague scam of selling dead bodies for money. When one of the nurses discovers that the doctor she intends to marry is having a fling with her sister (also a nurse), she threatens to oust the nurses' evil scheme. In return, the girl is brutally murdered to prevent their secret from being revealed. To make things short, the rest of the film takes on a horror plot. The murdered nurse comes back from the dead seven hours after her death to enact her revenge. And what a revenge it is! The ghost visits each girl and tortures them based on their individual vices--bulimia, materialism, narcissism, the desire to obtain the perfect body. The film contains surprising plot twists that are too good to even allude to and a balanced mix of humor, satire, and gore to gain it "cult" status. Under the rubric of successful horror films, Suay Laak Sai has a terrifying ghost, a good amount of gore, and a satisfying plot as well as ending.
