SYNOPSIS:
Panor (Napakpapah Nakprasit), a beautiful and seductive teacher, longs to live a normal, peaceful life like everyone else in her village. But her beauty becomes her biggest curse when both her male colleagues and students resort to a variety of black arts and love potions in an attempt to win her favour. Things take a sinister turn when a Thai family is forced to chase her soul away to use her body in order to bring a loved one back from the dead. Their plans are sent into disarray when Panor's soul seeks revenge on the family and a man who is obsessed with black magic sets out to hunt the biggest prize of all: the Three-Eyed Devil that lives within Panor
REVIEW:
" As for the plot, it was almost identical to the first movie, which made me question as to whether the director is running out of ideas. Vengeful beings come back to haunt, torture and eventually kill those who have caused them pain. Even after having watched the first film, I still found it confusing as it wasn't clear as to whether this film is a prequel or a sequel, as the flashback scenes in the movie - which were supposed to illuminate - confuse the viewer instead. In addition, there were a few loose ends that don't quite make sense. For one, Ta's father who killed his own wife so that he could have a second one, especially after his mum gave him permission to take on a second wife, made his deed seem so unnecessary.
Ah, the most important part of all when it comes to horror films - the effects. I really couldn't stop myself from grinning as I watched the fake, almost pink blood ooze from the abdomens of the victims, plus the bad makeup and un-scary ghosts throughout the movie. How disappointing! Though I did cringe a few times, it wasn't because of the sight of flesh being torn apart, but due to the screams that were just so shrill and painful. Plus, the gory parts were a tad over the top. Too much unnecessary blood and guts.
As for the cinematography, the surroundings around the house and warehouse did have an eerie feeling to it and with the place looking like a swamp, it's an ideal place for a gory horror like this - you know, with black magic and all. A good long focus was given to Panor's expressions when she was tortured, which made the pain so believable, but the effect is subsequently ruined when the camera focused on the gory parts that just looked so fake.
All in all, the first movie was still a better watch compared to this, mainly because "Long Khong 2" is not in any way unique or new: it's exactly like the first one, just with a slightly different (worse?) storyline to it. "
RATING: 8/10
