There’s so much video-recording these days that if ghosts could be captured that way we’d be awash in footage. Gla believes he briefly saw his father’s spirit when he was a young boy, and has come to the conclusion that trying to record ghosts using electronic means (like camera surveillance) is futile.

The “freaky things” include ghosts, of course. Gla is also interested in “freaky things”, but Wee is uber-rationalist, and the type of person who cites CERN and photons.

Gla is handsome and arrogant, while Wee (whose full name appears to be, rather implausibly, Dr Cheewee Prometheus) is much less socially confident. It spends much of its time didactically expounding rather thin and undeveloped ideas about the spirits of the dead, only occasionally remembering to inject a dose of plot.ĭr Gla (Paris Intarakomalyasut) and Dr Wee (Thanapob Leeratanakachorn) are young friends and hospital doctors in Thailand, despite being very different men.

But anyone hoping for a quasi-realistic tale of scientific ghost-hunting, as depicted so thrillingly in J.A Bayona’s The Orphanage (2007), for example, will be sorely disappointed by Ghost Lab. Paween Purijitpanya’s exceptionally un-chilling, uninteresting second feature has a promising enough premise: two scientists, seeking to prove the existence of ghosts, set out to find them and inevitably get more than they bargained for.
