Quando a Morte Sussura 2

This 2024 sequel directed and written by Teeweetah Wantha claimed that this film was inspired by a Thai novelist, Brittanon. But after viewing action-horror epic, it resonated too much, resemblance of the Evil Dead franchise. Starting with the lead character, "Yak" helmed by Thai ex-teen sweetheart, Nadech Kugimiya looking all beefcake via a Bruce Campbell flair.

The production was quite good with CGI gore and optical effects. There's abit of off-beat humor that doesn't work go over-the-top like Campbell in "Evil Dead II" or "Army of Darkness". This inspired (or rip-off) story replaced the Necromon book and forest demonic possession synching up with Thai folklore . Its sequel begins with an ancient witch who tied (since the late 1800s invited possession) with a near dead soldier, cursing his future family generations.

Then the film continues with the first "Tee Yod" story of "Yak's" family trying to mourn their loss to the witch and rebuilding themselves in the sequel. Losing his sister, "Yam", "Yak" begins to form a group of men (with cursed families) willing to fight the witch and her possessions to their deaths.

The film is set in the 70s and in a rural Thai farmland setting, then all action starts ala Evil Dead style. The witch can get a bit tiresome with the jump scare entries. If ignoring her tackiness, the film can carry throughout to the end where the whole family (imagine an intergenerational group of 10) fighting ancient sorcery - pure fun!

Of course it's recommended to view the first film, which is a long, slow moving story. The sequel takes it up a notch for extreme action! And yes, after a viewing one see Kugimiya as "Yak" can be considered eye candy - dare one say - far better than Campbell's physique. No wonder Kugimiya's teen idol past is probably a total cash-in for this series. These films were received with much popularity in Thailand. The natural setting gives to the idea of folk horror along with a decent soundtrack.

Right from the first minute, this film grabs your attention with its excitement. The storyline is intense and keeps you engaged without a dull moment. The tone is well-balanced, and this sequel cleverly adds in humorous scenes that fit just right-not too much, not too little.

Nadech continues to shine, delivering a fantastic performance that matches the quality of the first film. He's still the Best, proving his talent throughout. The cinematography is truly impressive, with stunning visuals in every scene. This is one Thai film with top-notch production quality.

While the level of spookiness might be a bit lower than the first movie, the thrill factor has definitely ramped up. If you're a fan of supernatural action, you won't want to miss this one!

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.

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.

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]
