Synopsis

An isolated girl strikes up a relationship via text message. A bullied boy strikes back at his tormentors with black magic. A quartet of friends terrify each other with ghost stories while camping in the jungle. A stewardess must accompany the corpse of a dead princess back to her home country. These are the four stories that make up 4BIA, the hit anthology horror film from Thailand that marks the return to Toronto After Dark of film makers Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom the directors of the original version of SHUTTER and last year’s festival hit ALONE, who each make their solo directorial debuts here.
