Long khong 3

The youngster Ta (Namo Tongkumnerd) returns to his hometown, and his aunt Pan (Kalorin Supaluck Neemayothin) and her husband Aod bring him home to meet his grandfather and his great-grandmother. Ta misses his mother Daun (Paweena Chariffsakul) that was poisoned by his father Prawase, and sooner he learns that his family will use black magic to bring her back.

The warlock Dis (Supakorn Kitsuwon) needs the devil of three eyes to control the demons that are eating him due to the excessive use of black magic. He is hired by Ta's grandfather to bring Daun back from the afterlife. He steals the soul of the teacher Panor (Napakpapha Nakprasitte) to use her body to receive Daun's soul through black magic. He gives two instructions to the family: they should bury Panor's fetus and the mirror with her soul in the cemetery and burn Daun's body otherwise lost souls would use it. However, when Aod goes to the cemetery during the night, he is frightened by Panor's soul and he leaves the fetus and the mirror on a tomb and does not bury them. Sooner Dis and Ta's family discover the price of the black magic.

"Long Khong 2" is a good story of black magic and its price but unfortunately with a messy screenplay. This dark film has good performances and special effects but maybe something is lost in the translation. Even the names of the characters are slightly different in the subtitles in Portuguese (Panor is Panoh; Pan is Pen; Daun is Deun). My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Amaldiçoados pelo Demônio" ("Cursed by the Devil")

Bloody, gore, sick, violent torture movie. A classic for it genre.

This movie is not exactly horror in the way most people understand it, neither paranormal and there's no exorcism.

The plot is simple. Nothing deep. Almost no story for me. No backstory and no explanation how everything started and for what reason it is happening. Maybe there is something with first 2 parts, but unfortunately I haven't watched them

Just a bunch of people messing with the wrong ghost(s) for a greater good and the ghost(s) brought terrible vengeance on them afterwards.

The movie is relatively short with nothing happening during the first 1/3, really, nothing. Then everything "escalated quickly". There are sick ways of getting people killed/tortured to death, although some are not so realistic. When a scorpion bites you, you don't explode. *Phisics*. Explicit violence most of the time.

The end was kind of unexpected, like unfinished, cut. Then there was some backstory for the backstory of the movie. The plot twist at the end is great.

This film begins with a violent young man named "Dit" (Supakorn Kitsuwon) torturing an aged practitioner of black magic in order to substantially increase his already formidable powers. Although he fails in that regard, he considers it to be just a temporary setback and decides to continue on his evil quest. The scene then shifts to a hospital where a young woman by the name of "Aajan Panor" (Napakpapha Nakprasitte) is suffering from a mental breakdown and is being cared for by a nurse nameg "Pen" (Carolyn Supaluck Neemayothin). More important to this story, however, is the fact that Panor is pregnant because not long afterward she is kidnapped by some of Pen's colleagues and taken to a house in a remote part of Thailand. It's then revealed that a woman by the name of "Duen" (Paweena Chariffsakul) has died several years earlier and that Panor's unborn fetus is the key to resurrecting her. That said, a special ceremony is then conducted which starts with a high school student named "Ta" (Namo Tongkumnerd)--who happens to be the son of Duen--reading from an ancient script while Dit utilizes his knowledge of black magic to transfer the soul of Duen into the screaming woman before them. It then transpires that, as soon as the fetus is ripped out, Duen's consciousness comes back to life within Panor's body while Panor's soul is simultaneously transferred into the fetus and held into place by a mirror bearing her image. Dit then ties a red string around Duen's wrist which he insists must remain there at all times. Instructions are then given to bury both the mirror and the fetus but, when this not fully carried out, Duen immediately begins having visions of dead people--and the string falls from her wrist. Things take a horrific turn for the worst afterward. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a confusing film due in large part to the overlapping subplots along the way. To that effect, it should be mentioned that this film has absolutely no relevance to the first "Art of the Devil" movie. Instead, it is probably best summed up as a prequel to "Art of the Devil II" as it lays out some extra details and clarifies certain portions of the second film in the process. Beyond that, however, this film is also quite murky with lots of gore and mumbo--jumbo used in place of any real suspense necessary for a horror film of this type. Likewise, even though it had a couple of attractive actresses like Napakpapha Nakprasitte, Carolyn Supaluck Neemayothin and Paweena Chariffsakul, there really wasn't any sexual tension which could have also improved this picture as well. Be that as it may, in spite of some of these missed opportunities, this turned out to be an okay movie for the most part and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
