Synopsis:

The year is 1932 and the small village of Sam Kotr is ravaged by a girl possessed by a liver-eating ghost named "Pob." The villagers band together to trap her and hires an exorcist to contain her spirit in a jar sealed with magical spells which they leave at the bottom of an old, dried well.
Seventy years pass and a band of student club volunteers travel to Sam Kotr to aid the rural development project their high school is sponsoring. The kids stumble and breaks the jar containing Pob's spirit and a girl named "Ger" is possessed by Pob's ghost. Now, they must band together and stop Pob before all hell breaks loose in Bangkok . . .

Reviews:

Not since Bio Zombie has there been a horror comedy quite this good. When it's funny, you'll be roaring and rolling around on the ground with laughter, and when it's scary, it's REALLY scary. The film is one of the most original and entertaining Thai films since Tears of the Black Tiger (which the mighty Disney has now bought). Body Jumper is a visually aesthetic, wildly hilarious, thrill ride. The characters are lavish and colorful - ranging from a 6-foot tall, wig-wearing, steroid-boosted transvestite named "Belle" to a nerd who likes to show off his martial arts by punching nails into wood. The special effects are VERY well done (probably the best we've seen so far with any Thai film). Body Jumper features Hong Kong's style of mo-lo-tau (nonsense) comedy with the Scream trilogy type of scares you would expect from Wes Craven. This is one movie we'd have no problems in recommending.
