5 friends went back to their hometown after they received the news that one of their best friend, Ta's father has passed away. But before going back, Kim has accepted Paw as her boyfriend. When they reach their hometown, Ta feel uneasy to see this couple as Ta and Kim were in love 2 years ago when they are still studying. All of them pay a visit to Panor, their teacher who is also the stepmother of Ta. And all their past memories flashed back.

2 years ago, Ta found out that Panor is having an affair with another teacher, O Larn. Ta told his father but the stepmother has already make a fake news to the husband first. To get the real evidence, Ta along with Kim, Paw, Tair, Nut and Go went to film up the sex scene of Panor and O Larn. But this was discover by O Larn. O Larn beat them off one by one and tied them up in the classroom. O Larn even force the beautiful Nut to give him a blowjob in front of all her friends. The gang was so angry and they went to the sorcerer and cast a witchcraft on O Larn. O Larn was cursed and die from fish hook sticking out all over his body. The gang promised not to reveal this and flee away into the bangkok town.

Flashing back to the current time, Nut received a call from her uncle and left the village first. On the night, the gang heard Kim scream. Apparently Ta's grandmother who live next door is eating a car alive because of hunger. Ta claimed that his granny has been mentally sick and lead her back to the house. In the meanwhile, Panor has been doing witchcraft on the gang to take revenge. It seems like Panor has known that the gang cursed on O Larn and caused him to die. To take revenge, Panor has to eat all the flesh of the gang who make the cursed to gain more power, but she will become insane as well.

Nut has actually been killed by Panor when she left alone to the train station to meet her uncle. Panor eat part of Nut's flesh and the rest of the body was cook into porridge and let the gang eat it. Everybody vomit and scream to leave the house. The house was located on the river and there was no boat to fetch them away at the that time. Panor has make another curse and Tair can see spiritual things. Tair scream and ran but there was no where to go. Go is next, lizard poking out from his body and caused him to die in pain. Tair continue to run and the gang has to break into 2. Paw has been illusionize and accidentally treated Kim as Panor and try to shot her with pistol but luckily was stop by Ta.

Pathetic Tair has reached her limit of seeing spiritual things, she digged out her own eyes and accidentally falled into a boiled oil and die. Panor appeared and caught Paw into her hut. She swear and said that she will need to cleansed Paw first before she send him to the three eyes god. She jet anesthetic into Paw and when he get all stiff, she pour hot boiled water into his mouth. Later that, she burn Paw's skin. Just when Paw is about to die, Panor make his heart to pump again to make him suffered.

And the real thing is, Paw has been secretly falling for Panor during the school time and also has sex with his teacher but could not get her. He get jealous and persuade the gang to shot Panor and O Larn sex video. After all this has been told, Kim was shocked. Panor is about to attack and Nut's uncle has brought in the police and shot Panor to death. Kim was injured and send to bangkok's hospital.

When Kim woke up, she realise Ta has been dead all these while after tortured by Panor and the gang was actually accompanied by Ta's spirit all along during their visit. Ta's granny is dead too because Panor has shut her up in a house to let her die in hunger while Ta's father has been soaked into a pot of water to drown. Ta will never give up Kim and forever along her side.

Basically everyone is telling me how scary this film is, but a high expectation really leads to a greater disappointment. The story is ok, a little bit of twist and turn of the story, but all of them are predictable. The story goes around within people taking revenge on each other and summons black magic.

7 directors on this film, i wonder how they team up and film this since everyone has their own idea and way to direct. But these 7 brains did not create enough spooky thingy to scare me off, too bad~

p/s: Napakpapha Nakprasitte won best supporting actress in the bangkok film award.
