This Thai horror movie will make you think twice about keeping Geckos as pets.

In the beginning, some cave explorers who are bitten by demonic geckos become ghost zombies with a different body than their dead corpses. One gecko bite seems to be all that is needed to turn someone into a zombie, but the geckos like to tear out eyeballs and jump into open mouths, too.

We also see a woman come to the area to give lectures who becomes possessed by the evil geckos in a different way. She turns into a lizard woman who climbs street lamps to eat bugs with a long tongue. She can also control armies of killer geckos. And she rips the hearts out of men and eats them. One of the men whose heart she rips out and eats is her boyfriend. (A young woman turns into a hideous monster and rips the heart out of her boyfriend. What spurned screenwriter hasn't considered writing something like this about his girlfriend? I think we just figured out why misogyny is at the root of so many horror movies.)

Most of the geckos we see are computer-generated, but there are a couple of live Tokay Geckos in the mix, some dead geckos glued to a wall, some house geckos in one collection, and lots of fake plastic lizards. The soundtrack is full of the usual horror movie sounds of squishing, crunching, and rubber stretching, but it gets extra credit for mixing in real Tokay Gecko calls.
