Now, I was enjoying the 2019 "Pee Nak" movie quite a bit, given it had elements of horror and comedy in a great abundance, and the fact that it was an entertaining movie, so I was definitely looking forward to watching this 2020 sequel titled "Pee Nak 2".
However, director Phontharis Chotkijsadarsopon just failed to deliver a movie that was up to par with the predecessor. Whereas the first movie was a blast to watch, then "Pee Nak 2" turned out to be a movie with less comedy to it. And the fact that the storyline in this 2020 sequel was less than mediocre didn't really help to sell the movie.
Sure, it was nice to see the the cast from the first movie - Phiravich Attachitsataporn, Timethai Plangsilp and Paisarnkulwong Vachiravit - return to reprise the roles from the first movie. But they were fighting an uphill battle against a pretty bad script and storyline.
The laughs in "Pee Nak 2" were few and far between, which was something that took away so much from the overall enjoyment of the movie.
While I managed to sit through the entire movie to the end, I will not say that I was impressed or overly entertained. "Pee Nak 2" is watchable, but it dwarves in comparison to the 2019 first movie "Pee Nak".
My rating of "Pee Nak 2" lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.
