''Chanthaly'' is a 2013 [[UsefulNotes/{{Laos}} Laotian]] horror film. It is the first film of that genre to be produced in the country, and the first feature film directed by Mattie Do. For that matter, it is also the first Laotian film to be directed by a woman.

The title character, Chanthaly, who is suffering from a heart-based disease, suspects that the ghost of her dead mother is trying to speak to her. A change in Chanthaly's medication causes her to struggle to figure out whether these odd encounters with her mother are hallucinations or not.

Mattie Do has uploaded the film to [=YouTube=] with English subtitles. See it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYTUlMKd_BI here]].
