I stumbled upon this 2009 Thai horror comedy in 2022, and without knowing anything about the movie then I sat down to watch it. Sure, why not? I mean, it was a Thai horror comedy that I hadn't already seen, so of course I wanted to watch it.
Granted, I haven't seen the 2007 movie "Hor taew tak" so I don't know how much of a continuation this 2009 movie is, or if it is stand-alone movie entirely. But I didn't feel that I was lacking anything in terms of information or character lore to be enjoying this 2009 sequel.
Writer and director Poj Arnon actually managed to deliver a wholesome script that proved to be enjoyable and funny. It was a combination of slapstick comedy, funny characters and great casting that really made "Hor taew tak 2" (aka "Oh My Ghosts") work so well.
Despite having seen a fair share of Thai movies, then I can't claim to be familiar with anyone on the cast list, aside from Kohtee Aramboy (playing Pancake/Panda). But I will say that the actors and actresses were nicely cast for the movie and put on great performances.
"Hor taew tak 2" is not a horror comedy that relies heavily on special effects, but the effects that were in the movie, both CGI and practical, were functioning well and served the movie nicely.
I was genuinely entertained by this movie, and I am certainly looking forward to seeing the numerous other movies in the franchise.
My rating of "Hor taew tak 2" lands on a six out of ten stars.
