Tee yod 2

I really liked the first Death Whisperer. It was a classic supernatural horror movie with a Thai context, instead of same old catholic imagery I've seen a million times. But this one didn't know what it was. Most of the time it felt like there were 2 movies going on at once. One about a family battling with a dark invasive spirit, and --as many others have mentioned- a slapstick Army of Darkness clone. If you love horror and just want to see something new, I guess it's not a total waste of time. Yak is pretty good-looking. But don't expect it to be anything like the first Death Whisperer movie.

The story is interesting and good but I still choose season 1 as the best, the first season while watching I could feel the tension and fear of all the characters in the film. In season 2, I felt less excited while watching, more like who is this guy? Who's that? Why is that the story and yes now I am curious about the story of the woman in black. I think some of the men who died at the beginning weren't really necessary, and am I the only one who felt this film felt very fast, but I liked the ending. The little girl who plays Yee is very clever, I love heracting. I had a bit of a heart attack when the yak was shot and I thought the ending would be bad.

While I was not a particular fan of the 2023 movie "Tee Yod", I still opted to give the 2024 sequel "Tee Yod 2" (aka "Death Whisperer 2") a chance, on account of it being a movie that I had not already seen, and since it was an Asian horror movie. But I have to be honest, that I sat down to watch the movie with zero expectations, as the first movie was pretty bad.

The storyline in the movie was okay. Sure, it wasn't a particularly scary movie, but it was watchable. Though it is hardly a movie that warrants more than a single viewing.

The only familiar face on the cast list for me was actor Nadech Kugimiya, because he was also in the first movie. The acting performances in "Tee Yod 2" were good, though.

The effects in the movie were fair, which certainly counted for something and added to the overall enjoyment of the movie.

While "Tee Yod 2" was by no means a stellar movie, it was at least better than its predecessor. But this is hardly a memorable moment in Thai horror cinema.

My rating of director Taweewat Wantha's 2024 movie "Tee Yod 2" lands on a four out of ten stars.

I already compared the first movie to Evil Dead, and I think this sequel continues that atmosphere while expanding the story from the first film. The first movie ended in a really unsatisfying way and pretty much gives you no choice but to watch this sequel if you want to see how the story concludes.

This movie starts with an engaging opening scene, and after that, we pick up right where the first film left off. I really like the premise as our protagonist is searching for the dark spirit that killed his sister three years ago. Through his quest for revenge and knowledge about the spirit, the movie sets up some pretty interesting moments, though unfortunately, this also harms the pacing a little.

Like its predecessor, Death Whisperer 2 has some gnarly gore and a few truly unsettling moments. The effects looked a little poor upon closer inspection but were still effective. The movie doesn't shy away from gore, and the dark atmosphere from the first film carries over into this sequel.

It's a bit shorter than the first movie, which was a pleasant surprise, and the final act was both creative and well executed. I liked this sequel a little more than the original, and I'm curious to see what they do with the third movie, which is currently set for release in October 2025. [6,0/10]

It's a thoroughly entertaining mix of horror and action, with just the right amount of tongue-in-cheek (pun intended) comedy in the mix. On the eve of his sister's wedding ghost adventurer Yak Baggins and some allies enter a cursed forest to track down a powerful entity that has nefarious plans for his family. The movie is nicely directed and generally well-paced (although the third act drags a bit.) The (subtitled) dialogue is crisp and efficient - I didn't see the first installment but I had no trouble figuring out what was going on in this sequel. The graphic violence, horror imagery and action toe the perfect line between "brutal" and "hyperbolic to the point of parody." Apparently the first Evil Dead and The Shining were influences and it shows, although thankfully this movie isn't just a ripoff or a parody. Overall it's fun and extremely well done.
