Unfortunately these are the only fleeting moments of horror. The burnt man scenes are excellent, while the first-person POV shots while the duo hunt for ghosts is equally eerie. Props to Ghost Lab though, the horror that is here is actually crafted really well. On the other, it also sees Ghost Lab struggle to settle into a consistent rhythm, making for a somewhat disjointed watch. On the one hand, it helps to keep things unpredictable.

There are a lot of genre switches through this movie which is definitely a double-edged sword. It’s here the movie dabbles a lot more in thriller territory. The result sees the screenplay sag badly before finally picking back up for the final 20 minutes or so. While there’s nothing wrong with that, the movie wallows in its own self-pity for far too long. It’s also around this point that Ghost Lab changes from an outright horror to something closer to a melodrama.
There’s some deliciously twisted plot deviations here too, but after this crescendo of drama the film slows down to a crawl. From here, the movie changes direction slightly as Gla and Wee hunt for ghosts while becoming ever-more desperate to try and prove their existence. This is enough for Gla and Wee to team up and track down these ghosts. Wee however, is sceptical at first until he encounters a frightening ghost in the hospital cafeteria late at night. Gla has had a previous experience with ghosts before, dating way back to his childhood where he remains convinced that his Father came to see him. Together, they set out to try and prove the existence of ghosts. The movie itself actually starts quite brightly, as the story immediately centers on two enthusiastic doctors, Wee and Gla Ar-Jong. The run-time is around 45 minutes too long, and the tone flits between melodrama, horror and comedy far too often, making for a somewhat disjointed watch. There’s an interesting question at the heart of this, revolving around how far one would go for a scientific discovery, but the movie oftentimes undermines its own premise. Ghost Lab is a Thai horror/thriller exploring the afterlife and ghosts.
