Black Magic in Bangkok
22 February 2020
This film begins in rural Thailand with a young girl by the name of "Dau" (Suangporn Jaturaphut) being picked on at school because of her Khmer heritage and the fact that everyone considers the grandmother she lives with to be a witch. Then after one particularly bad day at school she is attacked by an evil spirit on the way home and after telling this to her grandmother is taught the art of black magic. Ten years later, lacking the money to purchase necessary medicine for her grandmother, Dau consents to work at a nightclub in Bangkok where she hopes to make enough money to make ends meet. However, she soon finds that things are not much different for her as she is treated quite badly by most of the other girls there as well. Angry and frustrated by this she eventually decides to put some of her black magic skills to use to correct the situation. Unfortunately, she accidentally violates some of the rules her grandmother taught her and this causes severe consequences for everyone involved. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that, although it lacked the special effects normally seen in horror films of this type, the plot and the acting were adequate enough to compensate for it. Likewise, having several attractive actresses like Narisara Sairatanee (as "May"), Opal ("Pookie"), Amy Siriya ("Mee") along with the aforementioned Suangporn Jaturaphut certainly didn't hurt either. In any case, I enjoyed this movie for the most part and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
