Det. Techit (Putthipong Sriwat) commits suicide as a way to enter and investigate the eternal-limbo existence of superghouls called Opapatikas. True to the promise made by the daddy of all the hereafter combatants, Mr. Sadok (Nirut Sirichanya), Techit is granted incredible powers of intuition. Unfortunately, each time he fights one of Sadok's Opapatika enemies, the detective loses one of his normal five senses and, like his fellow tortured souls, quickly discovers immortality is not all it's cracked up to be. Glossy lensing is complemented by Muay Thai gymnastics and high-quality bloodletting, but helming and editing are a mess, and perfs are deathly dull.
