Ladda Land (Thai: ลัดดาแลนด์) is a 2011 Thai horror film directed and co-written by Sophon Sakdaphisit. The film is based on a story about a family who moves into a new house where they gradually begin to encounter paranormal events. The film was very successful in Thailand where it was the number one film in the country on its opening week. The film later had its international premiere at the 17th Busan International Film Festival. The film won six awards at the Thailand National Film Association Awards.
Thee, a struggling 40-year-old marketing officer, moves from Bangkok to Laddaland, an upmarket housing estate located in Chiang Mai, bringing along his wife, Parn, his rebellious teenage daughter, Nan, and lively young son, Nat. Thee is certain that the move is the best option to answer all of his financial problems relating to the company he works for, which sells dietary supplements, despite his wife's concern over the hefty mortgage payments required to purchase the new house.
While Laddaland appears to be a relatively ordinary, if quiet, neighborhood, Thee and his family realize that something is wrong with the environment, since the place seems to sow discord on the families to commit violence. A Burmese housemaid is found dead in a grisly murder. Somkiat, Thee's next-door neighbor, regularly beats his wife and son while mistreating his elderly mother; the entirety of the family eventually perish when Somkiat commits murder suicide, with his son's death being the most horrific as he disfigures his face by vertically cutting it. Meanwhile, Nan experiences supernatural phenomena when she is swayed by her friends to visit the house where the Burmese maid was killed, but Thee's inability to believe them causes her to move to her boarding school until the end of her term.
Parn drives her children back to her mother in Bangkok after the tragedy. She recounts to Nan of how she became accustomed to Thee, how she lost her dreams when she discovered her pregnancy, and how in spite of everything, Thee always tries to do his best and love his family. The film ends with flashbacks showing Thee and his family in happier times.
Laddaland was a big hit in Thailand where it premiered at number one in its first week, beating out the American film Thor.[4] The film was shown for six weeks in Thailand where it grossed a total of $3,877,740.[1] The Hollywood Reporter suggested in their review that the film was such a big hit in Thailand due to circumstances in the film being based on an actual condo development in Chiang Mai that is rumoured to be haunted.[5]
Variety gave the Laddaland as positive review referring to it as "tasty T-horror" and that it was a "well-made chiller is ideal for fest sidebars, and should reap strong worldwide ancillary."[6] The Hollywood Reporter gave a positive review, referring to the film as "sleekly designed" but that "some of the CGI are rough round the edges". The reviewer felt that Laddaland was also inferior compared to the Thai horror films Shutter (2004) and Alone (2007).[5] Film Business Asia echoed The Hollywood Reporter's sentiments gave the film the a 6 out of 10 rating, and stating that it was a "technically effective horror movie" but one that "leaves the audience short-changed on a story level."[2]
Laddaland won six awards at the Thailand National Film Association Awards. These awards included Best Film, Best Actress (Piyathida Woramusik), Best Supporting Actress (Sutatta Udomsilp), Best Screenplay (Sopana Chaowwiwatkul and Sophon Sakdaphisit), Best Editing (Nagamon Boonrod, Phuriphan Phuphaibun, Thammarat Sumetsupachok) and best make-up (Pichet Wongjansom).[7]
When a family moves to Laddaland, an upscale housing development with large, beautiful homes, they discover life in their new neighborhood isn't so perfect when they encounter a series of terrifying, paranormal events that drive the family to the edge of insanity. This is a short description of the content.
Saw a Thai scary movie called Laddaland (Ladda Land) and it was apparently "loosely" based on a true story. In any case, the moo baan Laddaland is supposed to be a real abandoned place in Chiang Mai and I thought it would be interesting to check out. Anyone have any idea where it is?
The Land itself is on the right heading north ,about 1km before the 700 year stadium and just before the lake...This area extending over to 107 was part of a large resort park with a few drownings and deaths.Lakes, housing developments and a golf course have all altered the original landscape there. Later on stories appear about a family murdered in a new development on the border of the long closed Ladda land...There is a Nana park 9 off route 107 (look at Google sat pics roughly parallel to the 700 year stadium) .... that maybe will give you some shivers.Nighttime not recommended as this could be more of a Yabaland now... As stated above the movie is very loosely based on rumors and stories with not much reality to research. .....
There is also an abandoned moobaan off of the Mae Jo Road with huge (what where once) palatial homes on large appx. 500 or more talang wah lots now covered with vines and jungle everywhere. It's a creepy place and I often thought it would be a great place to film a movie or music video. Anyone know what the story with that place is?
I read in another thread that lakeland was like this, but when I ended up going and finding it, was disappointed to just find it a bit dilapidated, I had visions of Kurtz like crumbling mansions being reclaimed by the jungle (yes I know.. shouldn't eat cheese before bedtime)..
Ladda Land (2011) is a Thai horror film and is said to be an actual condo situated in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which is believed to be haunted. The film involved a young family who encounters supernatural events shortly after moving into their new house.
The story of Ladda Land is a typical paranormal horror film. But, taking a closer look at the film from a conceptual standpoint, Ladda Land is about a family that wants to escape the pressures and struggle of a stressful living environment. They do so by moving into an area they believe to be quieter and overall a better quality of life. The plot is sound but the pace of the film felt a little sluggish at times.
In respect to the performance, every actor and actress did a good job. Specifically, the daughter (played by Sutatta Udomsilp) performed exceptionally well and showed the impact of the move and new environment in a methodical way. One negative was that several of the scenes were shot with dark light exposure and sometimes took away from the impact of the other good qualities that the film portrayed.
Overall, the movie is able to sustain the interest of the viewers. There are some jump scares and very minimal use of CGI. These qualities are able to make Ladda Land an entertaining film but may be forgettable to some.
The picture was a massive hit back home, partly because circumstances are modeled on an actual condo development in Changmai rumored to be haunted. Inferior in aesthetic quality and originality to The Shutter and Alone, Laddaland may not have as much staying power on DVD shelves as the two T-horror breakout hits. However, it still boasted excellent world sales and has remake potential.
An insatiably curious lil' kitten with admittedly odd tastes in film and music, addicted to spicy food and berry wine coolers.... generally playful but with a surprising fierceness when annoyed. But don't worry... she's had all her shots!
Based on strange events believed by many locals to have taken place in Chiang Mai late last century, the story opens with 40-ish marketer named Thi, his wife Parn, his rebellious teenage daughter Nan and lively young son Nat moving from Bangkok to Laddaland, an upmarket housing estate located in Chiangmai. Convinced that his new job with a company that sells dietary supplements is the answer to all his troubles, Thi ignores Parn's legitimate concern over hefty mortgage payments; he also believes that the move will lift Nan's deep-seated resentment of him and Parn, who left the girl with her grandmother for much of her childhood. Following the grisly murder of a Burmese housemaid and Thi's unpleasant encounter with wife-beating next-door neighbour Somkiat, ghosts start appearing before Nan, who is unable to convince her parents that she's not making up these supernatural incidents...
