Art of the Devil 3

As in the case of most sequels, you can follow this third film in the series without having seen the previous parts. The fans do not expect a continuation of the story as much as an intensification of the action and more virtuosity in the horror effects. In order to stress the relationship with the very successful previous episode for local viewers, the Thai title is Long khong 2 (the original first part of the series was called Khon len khong). And those Thai fans were not disappointed. In its own country, the box offices were overwhelmed and 40 other countries were persuaded to buy this uninhibited hard-core horror film. An American remake is in preparation, with part two being filmed first.
The basis of the series is a firm faith in black magic and the insight that the genre demands exuberance and ingenuity. The Art of the Devil series is a team success. That’s why the director did not get the most important credit: the whole Ronin Team is responsible for the series.
And there’s also a story underneath all that virtuosity. It’s about the attractive rural teacher Panor. She yearns for a simple life, while all the men yearn for her. Both her colleagues and her students call on magic powers to win her for themselves, after which this black magic can no longer be controlled. (GjZ)
