Soul’s Code is an eerie resemblance of the X-Files
The film alternates between thriller and horror, and is quite graphic which brings it up a notch from most Western horror films.
I mean, if you like looking at dead bodies then this film is probably your cup of tea.
The story revolves around the death of schoolgirl whose body is found bound and dumped in a box near a Buddhist monastery.
Detective Khanon from DSI is assigned to the case after failing to arrest a known criminal.
When he starts investigating the murder, he finds a sudden connection to his last case.
Khan is assisted by Dr. Nicha and there is a hint of romance between the pair resembling Moulder and Scully in the X-Files.
This is obvious especially when the criminal and main suspect is called Mr X.
The case is an X-File and while trying to figure it out, Detective Khanon gets clues from the dead. The clues aren't spelled out but it would have made the case easier for the good detective.
The roles are reversed from the X-Files as Dr. Nicha is the believer and Khanon is the skeptic.
Toward the end of the film, we get caught up in the thrilling sensation of catching the killer. Is it the criminal, Mr X? Is it a boyfriend? Is it the pimp?
And why does the dead girl’s ghost seem to follow Khanon everywhere?
Soul’s Code is complicated enough to keep your heard wrapped up in the mystery, scary enough to give you goose bumps and gory enough to make your stomach lurch - if that’s what whets your film-appetite.
