Given my love of Asian cinema and horror cinema, then of course I had to sit down and watch this 2022 Thai horror comedy, when I stumbled upon it here in 2024. Sure, I had never even heard about the movie. But that hardly mattered, as it being a Thai horror comedy was more than sufficient to make me sit down and watch the movie.

This movie carries a very odd title; "The World of Killing People", which made very little sense. And the copy that I picked up was titled "Night of the Killer Bears", oddly enough, but at least a title that made more sense given the contents of the movie.

The narrative was a rather sluggish and there wasn't really much of anything interesting or entertaining transpiring on the screen. But hey, if you enjoy horror comedies, without comedy elements, and a whole lot of dialogue going on, then "The World of Killing People" should be right up your alley. It wasn't my cup of tea, and I found it quite a struggle to sit through this boring snoozefest of a movie from director Kanphong Banjongphinij.

"The World of Killing People" is a slasher movie, but the killer in the movie was bland and very forgettable.

While I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, I will say that the acting performances were fair, despite the fact that the script and storyline was a dumpster fire. Actress Panisara Rikulsurakan, playing Nan, put on the most memorable performance in the movie.

There is a little bit of violence in the movie. Fully and wholly unrealistic violence. Such as the first kills in the movie with a machete that cut through flesh and bone as if it was paper, or the axe that could chop a fully grown man in half in a single chop. It was just ridiculous.

"The World of Killing People" was a swing and a miss of a movie, and it is most definitely not a movie that I would recommend you to waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this rubbish so you don't have to. You're quite welcome. And while I did manage to endure the prolonged suffering of 95 minutes that the movie ran for, this is without a doubt not a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.

My rating of director Kanphong Banjongphinij's 2022 horror comedy, without an ounce of comedy, lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
