User Reviews
HorrorQueen99 – 7/10
“I went in expecting a typical jump-scare fest, but The Promise surprised me with its emotional core. The ghost design was genuinely creepy, and the tension built nicely. It's not perfect, but it's a solid Thai horror that deserves more love.”
ScaredyCat22 – 5/10
“The premise had so much potential, but the execution fell flat for me. The scares were predictable, and I found myself more invested in the backstory than the actual haunting. Still, the atmosphere was decent, so I'd say it's worth a watch if you're a fan of Asian horror.”
GhoulWatcher – 8/10
“This movie hit me right in the feels. The relationship between Boum and her daughter Bell felt real, and the haunting was both tragic and terrifying. I loved how the ghost wasn't just a monster but a sad reminder of a broken promise. Highly recommend for those who like character-driven horror.”
ScreamQueen_88 – 4/10
“I've seen a lot of Asian horror, and this one just didn't do it for me. The pacing was slow, and the scares were too reliant on loud noises. The acting was good, but the story felt like a retread of better films like Shutter. Maybe I set my expectations too high.”
