NOT SCARY, JUST FUNNY! :)
HILARIOUS n CHAOTIC ! ๐
Thai Comedies (Horror or Rom-Com), as usual, are always CHAOTIC !
(If U are aware of Thai comedies, only then, U can enjoy this.
Bcz Every Country has its OWN TONE OF COMEDY, especially Japan or Thai comedies are not for everyone ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ)
A Good Mix of Horror + Comedy + serious past stories of the ghost and the main story.
***
Director Mike is known for Comedy genre! ๐๐ป
Production, Screenplay are good enough.
Locations are cool.
***
The ghost story n the main story depict religious process n ritual like "Ordaining to be a Monk" in Buddhism and is Very Interesting to watch.
The Curse - whoever gets ordained at a particular Buddhist temple, dies.
So the ghost keeps haunting, disturbing the process n not allowing anyone to be ordained there.
***
The Stories of Naga n the ghost's past life (how and why it has become a Vengeful Ghost), n how they are related to current main story, are Well Written.
The haunting scenes are funny n chaotic ๐
Even the scenes of the team trying to find a solution to the curse, the Buddhist Monks helping the team to ward off the ghost n to revoke the curse, are funny๐
***
Every Actor performed well.
Every Character is lovable.
August is cute ๐
Aim n James as queer characters are hilarious n chaotic ๐
Tar is so young here๐
Pond is cool.
Director's cameo as icecream vendor is cool.
Placement of that Insurance advertisement as a part of the story is funny.
***
In the end, the curse is revoked, the ghost is relieved / warded off peacefully and the ordain process happens as planned n peacefully๐๐ป
The movie ending gives a hint to next part /Sequel.
***
My RATING is 8.5 / 10
*** COMPARISON OF THE MOVIES IN THIS FRANCHISE:
Can't really Rank any movie as the most or the least favourite, in this franchise.
My Rating for all 4 is the same n liked all 4 equally bcz one with more comedy, another with subtle comedy but all have serious stories.
And so ALL 4 MOVIES ARE ENTERTAINING n FUN TO WATCH!
In terms of Comedy,
PN 4 < PN 1 < PN 2 < PN 3
In terms of Story,
All have Serious Interesting Stories.
Story of PN 1 is a simple one while the other three have twists n little complicated stories.
Also, Watched this franchise long ago n remembered these as STANDALONE n UNRELATED MOVIES n need to watch all, just to know the background and the relations of the Recurring Characters.
But now when I re-watched all 4, realised that all 4 movies are RELATED, may not be a Proper n Direct SEQUEL to each other.
But One movie's storyline is taken from a scene or concept from the previous movie. That's how they are related.
For eg;
1) PN 2's main storyline "One old Monk n Buddha with Naga hood Amulet" is discussed in 1-2 scenes in PN 1 n are elaborated in PN 2 as the main story.
2) PN 3's "Past lives, stealing Golden Anklets etc" is depicted in PN 2 n are elaborated in PN 3 as the main story.
3) PN 4's Naga n Plan's character is shown in two scenes in PN 3 n are elaborated in PN 4 as the main story.
And so Need to watch all 4 movies in the same order to understand n enjoy the franchise.
Also, it's fun to watch the recurring cast n characters in the franchise๐
Actor Tar, literally grew up along with this franchise, haha ๐
