THAI HORROR MOVIES
Increase or decrease font size for easier reading : A+ A-
As belief in spirits ("PHI" - ผี) is present in everyday life (Buddha amulets, spirit doctors), it is not surprising that horror movies (หนังผี) are very popular in Thailand. There is an ongoing cultural relevance of the horror films in Thailand. Ghost movies have constantly enjoyed their popularity among the Thai movie going public. Thai horror movies themes are based on Thai old stories ("MAE NAK" ghost - แม่นาค), Thai old beliefs and folklore (ghosts or spirits such as "PHI KRASEU" - ผีกระสือ, "PHI TAI HONG" - ผีตายโหง, "PHI POP" - ผีปอบ, "NANG FA THANI" - นางฟ้าตานี...), ghost possession, love potions, black magic. The theme regarding the dead wife that becomes a ghost and refuses to leave her husband is often recurrent. In early ghost movies, female ghosts emerge mostly. Many male ghosts, except "POO SOM FAO SAP" (ปู่โสมเฝ้าทรัพย์), were created from pure imagination, while most female ghosts are linked in folk tales dating many generations back. In Thai tradition, a ghost can be a protector and an antagonist. But women are generally chosen to be vengeful female ghosts to represent bad deeds and misconduct against social norms. The ghosts represent human maliciousness, so the spirits are a symbol of punishment to encourage people not to commit bad deeds.

Buma supports the idea. Marut wants to bring Dao back to life (เกิดใหม่) but other ghosts try to prevent this. Marut needs to pray every night one hour during 20 days, eat vegetarian (กินเจ), drop blood drops inside the food offered to Dao. Evil ghosts prevent Marut to free Dao but the temple keeper provides support. 20 days have passed. The temple keeper does a ceremony. Dao is now an human (เป็นคน). Issue with Buma arises. Following the kiss, she complains she is soiled (ตัวเสีย) as she wants to accelerate wedding date. The wedding happens but on the night before the wedding Dao becomes Marut's real wife. Buma wants to secure Marut's love by using magic spells so she contacts again the exorcist master. This one provides love filter (น้ำมันพราย). Buma wants to chase Dao. Marut accepts as Buma uses charm filter (ถูกเสน่ห์). Finally as Dao is pregnant with Marut and being already Marut's wife, Buma has to retreat and is finally arrested by police for colluding against Dao.

Thai movie กระสือสาว is about a traditional folklore ghost called Kraseu (กระสือ). It is a filth-eating floating ghost with a head, a trailing heart and intestines. This ghost loves to eat cordon umbilical and placenta from newborn babies (ผีกระสือจะมากินรกเด็ก). Thai movie กระสือสาว scenario was written by ทวี วิษณุกร and released in two cartoon books in year 1968. Villagers found many dead chickens in their farm. They were eaten by a Kraseu ghost. Villagers followed the floating ghost and hit it critically. A grandmother (Sulaleewan Suwanthat) was in fact possessed by the ghost. Before dying, she gives a ring to her granddaughter, Bua Klee (บัวคลี่)(Pissamai Wilaisak), and asks her not to burn her corpse (so opposite of Thai tradition เผาศพ). Bua Klee then becomes possessed by the Kraseu ghost (ถูกวิญญาญกระสือ). Boon Muang (บุญเมือง)(Sombat Methanee) is her husband. Chat (ฉัตร)(Man Teeraphol), a local thug, still tries to seduce her. Phi Chood (จู๊ด)(Choomporn Theppitak), Boon Muang’s closest friend, and Boon Muang chase Chat away. Bua Klee is now pregnant. The Kraseu spirit is inside the ring and is hungry (ไปหากิน). Bua Klee goes outside to look for filthy food and is identified by a villager. She is named as Krasao Sao (กระสือสาว) as the ghost has a young and pretty face! A fight erupts between Chat and Boon Muang as all villagers claim she is a ghost (ผีกระสือ). Boon Muang refuses (ไม่เชื่อ) such allegations but the villagers push him to verify if his wife is a ghost. So he hits her with a stick to chase the ghost but nothing is happening except tears from Bua Klee. A local shaman (หมอผี) Pradit (Tat Ekathat) invokes a dead spirit (ผีโขมดพราย) to take revenge on Boon Muang and Bua Klee. Yomatut, the hell guardian, comes to get his life as he is a nasty man (ลงนรก). Boon Muang decides to leave the village. They take refuge in a relative home, i.e. uncle Chaeng (Sawin Sawangrat). Bua Klee meets another Kraseu old ghost in the village. Bua Klee is delivering her baby in traditional Thai way by holding a rope attached to the ceiling. The Kraseu old ghost and its husband try to steal the baby. Boon Muang fends them off and hits back. The husband (ผีกะหังและกระสือแก่) dies and the Kraseu old ghost dies in the early sunshine. Boon Muang visits the sub district headman of Dong Dok Kaew area (Chao Klaewklong) to bring him some gifts from uncle Chaeng. Madeua (Metta Roongrat) is the daughter of the sub district headman and is fond of Boon Muang. While accompanied by Madeua, Boon Muang is shot in the arm by Chat. Madeua is disappointed to learn that Boon Muang is already married. She used love potions trick to make him forget his wife and son (เสน่ห์ยาแฝด). Meanwhile Bua Klee wishes to get a treasure (สมบัติ) by seeing an ignis fatuus. When a flame is coming from the ground, it is a spirit haven according to traditional belief. She can get the treasure by showing her nudity! But finally, she needs to give the treasure back to the guardian as she still needs to pay for karma (กรรม). Boon Muang and Madeua marry. Following Bua Klee’s request, Uncle Chaeng goes to the subdistrict headman home. The son Chiep is also coming with a sacred thread to recover his father. On the way Chaeng and Chiep see each other without a head! This is a bad omen indicating a forthcoming death! Uncle Chaeng has to shoot Madeua to protect Chiep. The sub district headman wishes to avenge his daughter. Uncle Chaeng and Chiep are shot dead during the fight. Chood is beaten by Chat. Bua Klee finds uncle Chaeng and Chiep dead bodies. Both Chood and Boon Muang are captured by Chat and the sub district headman. Bua Klee interferes as a Kraseu ghost and causes the sub district headman and Chat to shoot each other. Boon Muang refuses to go back with Bua Klee as she is a Kraseu ghost. Following advice from a hermit, finally the body of the grandmother is burnt, and Bua Klee becomes a normal human being again.

Thai horror movies (หนังผี) includes a mix of comedy and horror. There are a very few scary sequences but a lot of repetitive sequences where a comic character group (ตัวตลก) trying to escape ghosts, running for their lives and failing to get rid of the spirits. Many Thai horror films in 1980s and 1990s decades have flimsy effects and facetious tone. Buddhist monks or "spirits doctors" ("MO PHI" - หมอผี) often help in order to get rid of powerful ghosts in Thai horror movies. In earlier Thai horror movies only a few monks were able to control and get rid of the evil spirits. Now ghosts have become smarter and Thai horror movies often feature exorcists, necromancers and religious men from other cults. These films show that these doctrines are just frauds but they also reflect the weakness in Buddhism.

A Thai husband called Sankap (Krai Kanchit) comes to rest in a remote house with his wife Oon (Anchalee Chaisiri), a domestic helper and his teenage daughter, Kaew (วัยหวาน อลิษา มิลเล่อร์). Ting is the mute (ใบ้) guardian of the old house. He is similar to a Quasimodo. Strange and scary noises can be heard at nighttime especially in the attic. Bones (ที่เก็บกระดูก) are found there. Kaew has her periods for the first time (เป็นสาวแล้ว). Through hidden passages in the house walls, the guardian spies the family. Through incantations, the guardian is calling an old spirit (ปลุกวิญญาณ) in front of a skeleton. The spirit needs a virgin (หญิงพรหมจารี) and pure blood. The spirit extended his life since more than 100 years thanks to virgin blood (บริสุทธิ์). Kaew is finally possessed (ถูกผีเข้า), speaks with a male voice and has extreme strength (แรงมาก). She tries to strangle the domestic helper. While her father is out to get a doctor, Kaew continues her rampage towards her mother and the domestic helper. The mother and domestic helper are not strong enough to face such a hell spirit (ผีนรก). The domestic helper is killed. Sankap arrives too late with a doctor. The doctor is even thrown out of the window and dies. Vichan (Porjed Kaenpetch), Sankap’s friend, visits them and is surprised to find the house very quiet. He also sees the two corpses. He has difficulties to believe in ghosts until the spirit wakes up. Vichan suspects the guardian so he follows him up inside his hut. Oon suggests to call a shaman (หมอผี).

A fight happens between the spirit and Sankap. Despite cutting its arms and head, Sankap is overcome by the spirit. Sankap and Oon are killed. A purification fire started by Vichan burns the skeleton and wax effigies. Spirits are defeated. Vichan promises to take care of Kaew. Compared to other contemporary 1980s Thai horror movies, this movie doesn't have much comic relief despite Lor Tok and Note Chernyim acting, so it is more similar to western standards despite having simple Fx. It could be the Thai version of "The Exorcist"!

The vampire wishes to change his voice as it is too sharp. He proposes an exchange to Dr Montree. The vampire can now sing folk (ลูกทุ่ง) songs with a pitched voice. When the vampire realizes he lost his masculinity, he chases Dr Montree (เอาของกูคืนมา) to get it back. This is really a crazy movie and Lor Tok's performance is not enough to avoid the sinking. This movie uses Culture Club's Boy George as soundtrack. It lasts only 1h10 so either the montage is really bad or it has been censored. เดชผีดิบ first movie with Sombat Methanee was released in year 1968.

When this movie was projected, an advertisement was announcing that special scenes were present (ฉากพิเศษ / ฉากเรทR). Many horror movies (such as แม่หมอน้ำมันพราย, อาถรรพ์น้ำมันพราย, ค้างคาวทอง, เดชผีดิบ...) followed this trend as adding erotic sequences was a guarantee for good earnings. Such special scenes were shown in stand-alone theaters (โรงชั้นสอง) during late night projection or on the first projection of the day in the morning. It was also a concern to show such movies during outdoor cinema sessions as there were often children. Sometimes the special scenes were collected on one reel and shown all together at a late time when children were back home. Finally, less people went to see outdoor cinema sessions as such movies were targeting male audiences only. One erotic sequence is featured in Thai movie ผ่าโลง. An extraordinary lighting makes sorcerer spirit (แม่หมอ) Nuan to wake up and to be back. She releases her werewolf called Cham. They are looking for revenge towards the village leader Tap. Teacher Yot (Tanit Pongmanoon) is going to welcome a friend, being a doctor and visiting the village. The village leader Tap wishes to send his daughter Tap Tim to Bangkok to study sewing. The teacher is wishing to help. Local shaman Kong (หมอผี) has a younger wife named Chom. Cham changes himself into young lad Det to attract Chom. Kom helps his wife and Cham flees. Cham possesses the village leader Tap, who becomes a werewolf also. The next day, a woman's dead body is found. Many scratches are found on her body. The sub-district officer Somsak (Somsak Chaisongkram) asks the doctor for advice. Nuan kills another shaman. Teacher Yot sees the scene and is chased by Nuan in order to silence him. Nuan can transfer herself into a powerful owl to chase her victims. Yot fights against Nuan and hopefully a chinese Shaman rescues Yot. A werewolf (หมาป่า) attacks and kills Choompu, Choo’s wife. Choo is the henchman of the sub-district officer Somsak. At the same time, Yot, with clothes full of blood as being injured, exits from the forest. The villagers believe Yot is the werewolf. About to burn Yot, the doctor intervenes to stop villagers. To avoid burning an innocent, the sub-district officer Somsak agrees to wait one day to see if Yot becomes a werewolf. Meanwhile the village leader Tap, being a werewolf, becomes human after meeting his daughter Tap Tim. Village leader Tap kills three guards to release the teacher Yot. Yot takes refuge in a Chinese temple. Villagers arrest the doctor as they believe he released his friend Yot. Shaman Kong announces to sub-district office Somsak that the werewolf is the village leader Tap. Daughter Tap Tim warns her father Tap, the village leader, so that he can flee. The doctor and young lady Soi follow the village leader Tap to know Yot whereabouts. Unfortunately, the doctor and Soi are killed by the village leader Tap becoming a werewolf again. Shaman Kong, knowing that his wife has an affair with young lad Det, sends werewolf Cham to kill both Chom and Det. The corpses are found but the subdistrict headman Somsak is concerned that their injuries are different from werewolf scratches. The sub-district headman Somsak suspects Shaman Kong and tries to catch him but Kong sends Chom spirit to kill Somsak. Finally, Nuan kills Somsak. Teacher Kathin's father is killed by werewolf Tap. Finding where teacher Yot is hiding by following Tap Tim and Kathin, Choo tries to kill Yot but fails. Choo is also finally killed by the werewolf Tap. Nuan defies Kong and following an epic battle, Kong is defeated. Teacher Yot promises to help Kathin. Yot and two ladies are attacked by werewolf Tap. Tap Tim, in order to protect Yot, has to stab the werewolf Tap, being her father. She gets hit by the werewolf and dies. Tired by Nuan’s exactions, the Chinese shrine spirit has to defy Nuan.

Two young soldiers find a decomposed body in a bag floating on the river. They decide to bury it. A spirit exits from the tomb and transforms itself into a beautiful lady called Nuan (Trirak Rakkarndee). Nuan is given refuge in the soldiers’ home as she claims she is on the way to Bangkok but it is already nighttime. Nuan loves immediately Cheut as he is kind hearted man. It generates jealousy from Khun, the subdistrict headman’s (กำนัน) daughter, as she also loves Cheut since a long time. The subdistrict headman Son likes Nuan a lot and invites her to stay in his home as it is more comfortable than Cheut's home. Other ladies having interest in the subdistrict headman in the village start to be jealous of this Bangkok girl! The subdistrict headman follows up Nuan at nighttime but then she becomes a ghost again. The two ladies Kamlai and Kamlong visit an expert into magic (อาจารย์) to get special oil (น้ำมันพราย) to make a love filter (ยาเสน่ห์) to try seduce easier the subdistrict headman. Meanwhile the village ruffians flee away when Nuan, beautiful lady, taking a bath, becomes a ghost! The other villagers tell Cheut that Nuan is a ghost. He flees from home and shelters at subdistrict headman’s home. They ask for a local shaman’s (หมอผี) help. Nuan decides to get her husband back. But he refuses to join her again. Nuan forces Cheut's friend to play the bait. Cheut goes back to her as he is under a spell. Finally Nuan is defeated by the shaman. Many couples can now have happiness and marry. As often during years 1988s-1993s, Ekapan Banleurit and Trirak Rakkarndee are playing the main couple in those cheap horror Thai movies. Same old tricks are used with ghostly skeletons and simple basic FX effects. Such movie includes more gags than real horror. It was targeted for rural audience and not Bangkokian audience. The scenario is very similar to Mae Nak (แม่นาค) traditional old story where the young man loves and lives with a ghost without knowing it (ผีหลอก!). This movie is released by Lepso Studio. Image and sound quality are quite poor. Once again the title is wrong. It is named “ล้างเผ่าพันธุ์โคตรผีปอบ” (Holocaust of the ogre clan) but there is not a single ogre (ผีปอบ) in the movie. The VCD cover belongs to another movie called “ปีศาจแมงมุมสาว”. The real name of this movie seems to be "ต้นตระกูลปอบ".

It is available under VCD format with company Happy Time (1h07mn) and also with company Lepso (1h30mn). Lepso company version is coming from the VHS version. Happy Time version is censored as hot scenes are cut. The VHS version is also cut making the horror movie a bit awkward to watch. Such low cost budget movies mix horror, funny sequences, a few erotic sequences and limited Fx effects. It seems to be a popular pattern in Thai horror movies in 1985~1995. A new doctor (Ekapan Banleurit) is arriving in a remote village. On the way to the village, he found a dead body. It seems that such deaths are happening frequently and recently in the village. Pim and Somkiet (Kiet Kijcharouen), working in local clinic, welcome the new doctor and his two nurse assistants. An injured man is chased by three hunters. Champee (Trirak Rakkarndee) asks for doctor’s help but the injured victim is no longer there. Villagers believe in Phi Pop ghost. A "Phi Pop" (ผีปอบ) is an evil spirit believed to possess a person in order to eat his intestine while also forcing him to seek and consume raw animal organs and meat at nighttime. An old man Pho Khaem and his daughter Champee are accused to be Phi Pop ghosts as some villagers are killed. Uncle Boon is the one to spread those rumours. The doctor has to fight again the villagers' old beliefs and to find who has done the murders. Uncle Boon uses old methods such as whipping a sick young lady called Kathin having fever as he believes she is possessed. Doctor Ekapan disagrees (หมอยาเม็ด). Kathin dies but the doctor cannot do an autopsy to know the death symptoms. Lamduan, daughter of uncle Boon, is close to Champee and doesn’t believe her father. Uncle Boon (หมอ) provides an oil charm as one villager called Thap is enamoured with Champee. Uncle Boon uses black magic (วิชา) to control villagers with fear. Nurse OnNut is aggressed, raped and killed at nighttime by an evil spirit (วิญญาณร้าย). Lamduan is found dead. Villagers accuse Champee (ผีสิงในตัวของเขา). Doctor Ekapan helps her before the villagers shoot her. Thap is injured while protecting Champee. Ekapan notices that Pim takes a lot of blood from Thap during blood test. He follows her and understands that the blood is used to give life to an evil spirit (เสือสมิง). The evil spirit has possessed Pim a long time ago when she failed to execute properly black magic. The evil spirit kidnaps Champee and kills her father. Ekapan interposes but he is injured. Hopefully another spirit doctor helps to neutralise the evil spirit. Peace is back in the village.
