This wasn't a groundbreaking moment in Thai horror cinema, nor was it a particularly memorable or outstanding experience. But ultimately, "Ghost Lab" is adequate for a single viewing, if you have nothing better to watch. So writers Vasudhorn Piyaromna, Paween Purijitpanya and Tossaphon Riantong weren't exactly revolutionizing the Thai horror/ghost genre with "Ghost Lab". "Ghost Lab", as a horror movie, just failed to bring much of anything overly new to the genre.

Luckily, then "Ghost Lab" was not a movie that was overly reliant on special effects in order to be watchable. It should be said, though, that the special effects and CGI department did good enough jobs with bringing the supernatural elements to life on the screen. There weren't much of ghosts to be seen, so if you are expecting that, you'll be sorely disappointed. Visually then "Ghost Lab" was adequate, I suppose. It should be said that the acting performances in "Ghost Lab" were definitely good, and the actors and actresses were putting on good performances to bring their characters to life - pardon the pun - on the screen. And that worked out well enough in "Ghost Lab", at least up to a certain point, then the movie just became stale and lost its drive. The storyline told in "Ghost Lab" was interesting enough on certain aspects, and I do like the aspect of men of science delving into the realm of the supernatural in order to prove something. But on the other hand, then the movie's storyline just didn't really feel wholehearted, and the movie was definitely lacking in the scares department.
On one hand then it was actually nice to see a Thai ghost movie that deviated from the usual archetypical, and often stereotypical, formula that many ghost movies from Asia follow. For a ghost movie then "Ghost Lab" was sort of a mixed experience. I must admit that I was expecting a tad more from the 2021 Thai horror movie "Ghost Lab" than what director Paween Purijitpanya managed to deliver.
