5 Star Productions has announced a new horror thriller titled Slice. Thailand certainly is not short of horror films, cranking them out willy nilly but what is special about this one is the talent behind the camera and behind the pen. Muay Thai Chaiya director Kongkiat Komesiri and art director, acclaimed director Wisit Sasanatieng [Tears of the Black Tiger, Citizen Dog and The Unseeable] except this time around Wisit [left] is writing the script. That makes me a happy boy because they have already proven they can do good horror with The Unseeable. Wisit directed the script written by Kongkiat. This time they switch roles.

After a string of murder cases, involving mostly male victims being severed from the police are still baffled by the case and have no clue linking a murder suspect. An ex hitman named Tai, turned informant, tries to fill in the details of this baffling case. But the police simply disregard his valuable input, until now. The situation changes when the next victim is revealed as the son of a government official. The order is put out to capture the murderer at all costs. The police have nowhere to turn to for clues and so must revert to Tai for leads. But information from the Tai comes with a price. First he requests his freedom. In return, he promises to apprehend the murderer within 15 days. To make sure he can deliver the murderer as promised, his wife is held against her will until he can deliver the murderer. With Tais expertise in tracking down people, the ex hitman uses what he knows to gain insight and clues to the case. Remembering that one of his childhood friends has a history of mental illness that shows in the form of resenting the male species in general, thus starts a chase for the murderer. Tai must now duel it out and hopefully catch the right man.
