There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

View MoreThe biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
View MoreActress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
View MoreBloody, 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 themJust 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.
View MoreThe 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")
View Moreokay, so I saw Art of the Devil 3, even though I did not see Art of the Devil 1 or 2. so why is it I was a bit fascinated by this scary movie? well, actually because it isn't a scary movie at all. you can state this is a horror movie because it's about satanism or think it's a torture movie because there are a lot of different ways to torture people in this film, but I don't think it's either of them. in my eyes, this is just a modern version of a good old revenge picture with Charles Bronson. so if you see this movie and you are disgusted by the bloody ways that are used to torture victims (are they really victims???) on the most cruel ways, you have to see it on the other side too. like DeNiro said in The Untouchables: you mess with me, I mess with you (or something like that). and isn't that what this picture is all about? it's revenge we see here, even more than horror. so see this movie without disgusting thoughts about the torture devices.
