“My Name” is a female-led action noir with a story about a woman who infiltrates the police in order to investigate and avenge her father’s death. It stars Han So-hee, Park Hee-soon, Ahn Bo-hyun, Kim Sang-ho, Lee Hak-ju, and Jang Yull. “Forbidden” is pitched as an extreme horror about four friends who travel from Bangkok to a remote mountain village for the funeral of one of their group’s father. The cast is headed by one of Thailand’s rising stars, actor-singer Kritssanapoom Pibulsonggram.
