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. Their beautiful teacher seems to have become a homicidal devil worshiping witch.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. We see through flash backs that terrible things happened to them in the past at their school. A group of friends visit an old teacher of theirs who lives in the jungle. I still remember after seeing the movie I was shivering all over,and couldn't get the crazy scene out of my headit was like the first time i felt that way after seeing a horror movie,kind of cool in a way!For those horror-movie lovers out there,I'd say this one is a must see! This is a Thai horror film that was simply fun to watch. I love horror movies and among all the horror movies I have seen,this one is definitely one of the most scary ones.OK,its about thai voodoo,people cursing each other and getting revenged,the plot is ordinary,but how they torture each other in the movie is what its really about and the scariest part is it doesn't seem surreal at all,it seems like something it might actually just happen to you if you mess with the wrong people. The witchcraft of these movies is messy, deadly, and the cost to the practitioner is as great as to the victim. In this movie, as in the first, the object is revenge, the tools are those of black magic, and the price is sanity. In Art of the Devil 2, which is not a sequel in any traditional sense of the word, the Seven Ronin team of directors delve into another exploration of Thai witchcraft, which apparently shares little with its Western counterpart. However, if your intention is to get some scares, then this movie still delivers, if you'd be forgiving to the ending. Unlike the Sixth Sense with its slick execution, script and delivery, Art of the Devil 2 had a rather satisfactory ending, but with the final stroke of the pen in creating the finale, it presented itself with a major loophole that seemed to have glossed over what transpired earlier, which is a big no-no in trying to force audiences to accept the 'new truth'. In an environment where almost everyone is not as innocent as they seem, keeping secrets close to their hearts, and the usage of black magic to achieve their individual desires and objectives commonplace, it perhaps served as a reminder not to dabble in the black arts, either as a practitioner or an end user, as there are always warnings of ill fate that befall upon them. The gore grips you right from the start, giving you a hint that if you can't stand what you've just seen in the first few minutes, you won't be better off for the rest of the movie. If torture scenes in Syrianna and Hard Candy made you squirm in your seat, then your stomach is up for more churning, given the previous two films did it more psychologically and with off-camera scenes, whereas here you're not spared the visual details, leaving none to the imagination, even if certain shots might look cheap and unrealistic. This movie has plenty of gory moments which offers some good scares, given the disgusting things that happen to the victims of the hex. 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.
