The Unseeable (2006)

The slow-burn choice. Wisit Sasanatieng's third feature is an old-fashioned haunted-house story: a young pregnant woman searching for her missing husband takes shelter in a widow's mansion in 1930s Siam, and the household is not what it seems. The drab, gray-green look and creaking period house give it a menace that builds rather than jolts, and its finale keeps piling on revelations. It reached the San Francisco Asian American film festival in 2008, and it suits viewers who prefer The Others to jump scares. Patience is required.
