The Red Sense

The Red Sense (Khmer: វិញ្ញាណក្រហម, romanized: Vĭnhnhéan Krâhâm) is a 2006 Khmer-Australian supernatural thriller film.

The success of The Red Sense led Transparent Pictures to produce films such as Bokator and Annoyed.

In 2004 Khmer graphic designer Tim Pek took a small role for a short film called Chhay.

A few months later, Tim received a Cambodian Fashion Show video from Adelaide with an extra feature of a five minutes short film, directed by Chhai Thach.

Impressed with the simple story, Tim got in contact with Chhai and discussed the making of a new short film as a team.

The film project was created in early 2005 and became The Red Sense, or Vignean Krohom in Khmer.

Its official release, however, was in Melbourne on 3 August 2008, with special guest Mr Yuhorn Chea, the former mayor of the City of Greater Dandenong.

He has been through the Pol Pot, Khmer Rouge and understands how this effect him, very proud of Tim Pek and a great Cambodian community here will support him and would like to wish Tim Pek a great future" (sic) while two critics of Anonymous, Chris & Margot, stated that "The emotionals were there and come from the heart.
