Warning: Spoilers
The film is all about the mental illness of a woman in Thailand called Puss, a cougar played by Mai Charoenpura, a Thai singer who resembles Stifler's mom in American Pie (1999). Under the influence of her tormented past, Puss kills people and severs their body parts into food ingredients for her yummy noodle stall. Then here comes the young and stupid dude for this Thai Stifler's mom. And you guess it right, all this guarantees it won't end well for the stupid dude because he is no Finch and Puss is no Stifler's mom. She is a Thai Muck Grinder waiting for him in the end.

In terms of the production, it is fine, and the cinematography and music soundtrack clearly show heavy influence from Wong Kar-wai's movies (e.g. 2046, In the Mood for Love). However that kind of moody, pseudo-classical music is completely at odds with the gory theme, which is very pretentious and thus embarrassing to listen during the meat grinding scenes.

2 solid stars awarded.
