I did like this segment as it focused on the Pret/Preta lore.
#PHOBIA MOVIE THAI TV#
He’s a well known actor and TV host known for roles in The Eye 10, Dear Galileo, 3AM, and 3AM Part 2. Actor Ray MacDonald plays the role of the Preceptor at the Buddhist monastery. He’s one of the “It Boys” of the Thai entertainment industry. He’s a really popular young actor and singer. It stars “Kao” Jirayu Laongmanee as Pey/Pae. He also directed the segment ยันต์สั่งตาย/”Deadly Charm” in 4bia. This segment was directed by Paween Purijitpanya. Unfortunately for him, his actions may have angered the local Pret/Preta, or hungry ghosts. However, he continues committing sinful deeds. As a novice, he should be trying to live an example of a good life and to repent for his sins. His mother, whom he has a bad relationship with, forces him to be ordained as a novice monk in a remote temple in the middle of the jungle/forest. Unfortunately for him, there are some serious consequences. He repeatedly committed crimes of throwing rocks at oncoming cars. So make sure to check out my cheat sheet at the bottom. I think knowledge on those things could definitely help you enjoy the segments a bit more. However, there are a few things that (again) may have been missed by foreign audiences. The segments can be hit or miss, but I still found it enjoyable.
However, I also found “Novice” and “Salvage” to be quite interesting as well. The directors Paween Purikitpanya, Banjong Pisanthanakun, and Parkpoom Wongpoom also directed segments in the original 4bia. Phobia 2 had a pretty star studded cast of very well known Thai actors too. Again, each segment is by a different director and writer. Literally, the Thai title means “Five Junctions”, “Five Intersections”, or “Five Crossroads”. ห้าแพร่ง/Ha Praeng, or Phobia 2 was released in 2009.
I’ll eventually go over this movie in detail at a later time. And the “Middle Man” segment will always be my favorite from it. The CGI was funny, but I thought that overall it was a pretty good movie.
It even starred the same 4 actors from the 4bia segment and Pee Mak. He also directed one of the segments for Phobia 2. The segment คนกลาง/Kon Glaang (Middle Man/Person in the Middle), was directed by the same director from Pee Mak and Shutter. In other words, there was some sort of intersection or they crossed paths somehow. However, the stories or characters had some sort of connection. Each story was headed by a different director and writer. The 2008 Thai horror film was anthology flick. สี่แพร่ง/See Praeng literally translates to “Four Intersections”, “Four Junctions”, or “Crossroads”.
สี่แพร่ง | 4BIA/PHOBIA (2008)īefore we get into the sequel let’s briefly talk about the original film. However, it was difficult for me to find a source with English subs for you guys. It’s the sequel to สี่แพร่ง/See Praeng, or 4bia/Phobia. “Why aren’t you covering the first one first?” Well…I did want to cover the original สี่แพร่ง/See Praeng, or 4bia/Phobia film. Today I’ll be covering the Thai movie ห้าแพร่ง/Ha Praeng, internationally known as Phobia 2.
