A new horror anthology from Thailand is speeding out at us like a bullet and the one thing that all of the segments in this flick have in common is the fact that really, really bad things can happen at 3 A.M.
Check out the sales art and international trailer below.
The film comprises three separate short stories from established Thai directors: Patchanon Thammajira's "The Wig" follows two sisters haunted by evil dolls in a wig shop. Kirati Nakintanon's segment tells the tale of a man who gets an eerie job looking after the corpses of a bridge and groom. And Isara Nadee's "The Blind Man" is about a man with severe myopia who starts to have strange visions.

Thai horror takes to the skies and enters the third dimension with “Dark Flight” (aka “407 Dark Flight 3D”), an airborne shocker claiming to be the country’s first domestically produced 3D film – though another 2012 outing, “Mae Nak 3D” also makes a similar boast. The film is the latest from Ronin Team, best known for their ultra-nasty black magic stomach turner “Art of the Devil 2”, directed by Isara Nadee and with Kongkiat Khomsiri having worked on the script. Inspired by a devastating real life 1998 Thai air disaster that left over a hundred people dead, the film is a special effects heavy affair that stars Marsha Watanapanich in the lead, an actress singer who previously appeared in genre hits “Alone” and “Phobia 2”. Wattanapanich plays New, a flight attendant with a tragic past, who survived a plane crash years back which she blamed on evil spirits. Her first day back on the job...

Dark Flight 3D from Isara Nadee (Art of the Devil 2) has been released in Hong Kong and with this debut comes an English-subbed trailer for the supernatural thriller.
The story goes like this: Ten years ago, a young air hostess, New, miraculously survived a plane crash. New insists that a vengeful spirit caused that accident, but her belief unsettled those around her and she had to go through a psycho-therapy. Now, the woman is ready to fly again. But on her first flight, New is struck by a disturbing feeling. The plane on which she’s working looks familiar, and New realizes that it’s actually the same aircraft that crashed ten years ago, though it has been repaired and repainted. New is gripped by terror, but there’s nothing she can do because the plane has already taken off, along with the same vengeful spirits that reside in it.
