The director thinks he's Wong Kar-Wai so there's endless changes of film stock, rapid editing, inappropriate lush music etc etc. Spurious 'social comment' a'la Dream Home is provided by a pointless bit about the Bangkok riots. There are interminable flashbacks to explain why the heroine became nutty - I fast forwarded through these. All in all, in the burgeoning 'strange ingredients in Asian food' sub-genre this is pretty near the bottom. Definitely worth £1 though if you're a fan of bodies being sliced up every which way.
I got it a few weeks back from my local Poundland, it is indeed a good film and like you say an absolute bargain for a quid
