Mathayom pak ma tha Mae Nak

I have never seen such a bad movie like this one. The script is a huge load of illogical and absurd events which in the end collapse together into an anti-climax ending. And the acting even manages to out-worsen the completely trashy plot. Every actors and actresses in this film seem to worry that the audiences might not be able to hear them clearly enough so they just yelled at a maximum volume and it was not pleasant at all! The the slap-tick humor could have been able to save this film from becoming a total disaster but frankly it didn't work at all.

Trust me, there's literally nothing good about this cheap piece of B-rated half-ass movie. Save your money and never give it a go!

The film starts out fine with some funny gags at the beginning, then descends into chaos as it attempts to parody the story of Mae Nak, I say attempts, because once the Mae Nak story starts, most of the humor just fails and it becomes a lackluster retelling of the story with the boys interjected for seemingly no purpose. Wanida Termthanaporn is good as Mae Nak, but the ensemble cast of boys here just doesn't work.

If I hadn't seen the first film, it would be impossible to distinguish the boys from one another, because they all seem to act the same with only Nick seeming to retain his character from the first film, but Nick's character seems to have learned nothing from his last experiences with ghosts, disrespecting Mae Nak at the very start. Even the standouts from the last film are given very little to do and as the film progresses, it's like watching a freight train disaster as ever so slowly the cars begin to collide and derail.

A waste of the talent.

Nice because of the boys but other thing are worse. I don't like it. It's only nice on the start till they change their appearance and bring the husband home.

360° it turn to bad. I really hope they remake this part but it impossible those boys already an adult now. I won't give us the same vibe.

Very disappointed.

I sat down to watch the 2014 Thai horror comedy "Make Me Shudder 2" (aka "Mathayom pak ma tha Mae Nak") after having seen the 2013 first movie and actually enjoying that quite a bit.

Well, while "Make Me Shudder 2" was based on the Thai tale of Mae Nak, this movie just failed to cut it; it simply didn't have what was needed to live up to the first movie.

The comedy in the movie felt too forced and it was right there in your face throughout most of the movie, so the horror aspect of this sequel took a step back in lieu of the comedy being the focal point. That was a shame, in my opinion, especially since director Poj Arnon just didn't manage to deliver properly. The comedy was just taking up too much of the screen time.

Now, I enjoy the tale of Mae Nak, and there are some pretty nice Thai horror movies that delve into the tale quite nicely. So I must admit that I was thrilled when I learned that "Make Me Shudder 2" was going to be set around that tale. Just a shame that the movie failed to be impressive.

It was nice to see the cast return to the sequel, however, to reprise the quirky characters from the first movie.

All in all, then "Make Me Shudder 2" was watchable, for sure, but it wasn't up to the level of the first movie. I am rating it a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.
