P is another disappointing Thai horror flick that relies far too much on hokey jump scares and the like for effect; the result is laughable rather than frightening. The female protagonist starts out undergoing a difficult character arc, forced to dance in a sleazy club for cash, and it's this social aspect of the film which is by far the most interesting and relevant. The second half descends into the usual ghostly tedium with heavy use of CGI spirits and some gore effects. The acting is melodramatic and the direction, by a westerner no less, hackneyed.
