Why, you'll never understand, but we need something to have them all put together to get something going. With black magic in the works, things are never what it seems, as the group of students revisit their teacher a few years after a tragic and shameful incident happened in school. However, as with all misunderstandings, it stems off with what the eyes see and the ears here, and the mind believing. It tells a story of a physically attractive model teacher, Ms Panor (Napakpapha Nakprasitte), and her group of students, one of whom she is a stepmother to. Art of the Devil 2 is not a sequel, in that it has no relation to the first (which I am now intrigued to watch as it stars Chai-Lai Angel Supaksorn Chaimongkol), although they deal with the same supernatural forces in Thai lore. And it always seem that what they do to you, from simple artifacts like a voodoo doll, can inflict so much pain onto your real self with just a simple needle poked on a right position on the straw doll.
Average.I've been intrigued by Thai Voodoo for the longest time, not that I would want to be on the receiving end of it, but it makes you wonder the amount of clout and (real?) ability of these medicine men who put hexes and curses on your behalf, for a small fee. 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. 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.
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. 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. To that effect, it should be mentioned that this film has absolutely no relevance to the first "Art of the Devil" movie. 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. Things take a horrific turn for the worst afterward. 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. Dit then ties a red string around Duen's wrist which he insists must remain there at all times. 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. 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'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.
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. 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). Although he fails in that regard, he considers it to be just a temporary setback and decides to continue on his evil quest. 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.
