Boring

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

In 1868, Mak (Winai Kraibutr) is summoned to the war and leaves his beloved wife Nang Nak (Intira Jaroenpura), who is pregnant, alone in their isolate house in Prakanong. Mak fights with his friend Prig that dies while Mak is seriously wounded. He miraculously survives and after a long time, he returns to Prakanong.He meets Nak and their son and they live happily together until the day that a friend of Mak visits him and tells that Nak had died in the delivery and he is living with the ghost of his wife and his stillborn son. Mak does not believe on his friend until the day that he discovers the truth about his family. "Nang Nak" is a movie about a Thai legend of a faithful wife that dies but does not live the world of the living waiting for her beloved husband that is missing in action in the war. The story of eternal love is a touching ghost story with a melodramatic farewell in the end. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Vidas do Além" ("Lives from Beyond")

I find that Nang Nak could be considered as a typical example of a sub genre of horror movies. It can be defined a "religious horror" movie since it highlights the horror-generating element's (in this case the ghost) human component. Rather than scare the audience, it triggers deep religious compassion. In fact, the story centers on a young woman, Nak, who refuses to acknowledge her own death. Her binding love for her husband is too deep to be defeated by Death. Hence, convinced that she is still human and not a ghost, she awaits his return from the war even after her death during delivery. This is why she kills all those who attempt to warn him about the strange situation. The movie reaches a climax in the last scene, which is intense and charged with pathos. Deep in the forest a group of monks forms the setting for the exorcism, calling to mind the chorus of a Greek tragedy. There is no horror in the scene, which is instead a religious ceremony conducted with respect for the dead. The High Priest represents all that is sacred, unlike the exorcist who attempts to free the village from the curse by violating Nak's tomb and destroying the body. The High Priest treats Nak like a person who has the right to wish her husband goodbye in order to rest in peace. The scene in which husband and wife join hands for the last time is charged with aching emotion. The narrator's off-screen voice inserts the story among Thai legends and the audience perceives that it verges on reality and as such could occur again.

Very powerful, heartrending movie..Eternal love... Love beyond the grave..til death do us part... this film covers all those bases and more.Have you ever been in love? Maybe you should watch this movie and ask yourself this same question again...I am moved.... please consider...I am seriously moved, if you get a chance to catch this movie, please do.AMAZING

Thai movies are not often shown on the big screen in Montreal. When I saw that Fant-Asia was screening the first Thai film in the history of the festival, I was really keen to see what kinds of movies are being produced there.It turned out that this romantic/ horror film was one of my favorite of the whole festival. The images are beautiful and the story is so touching. This is an old Thai folktale that I had heard before. I was concerned that it would be too dark and that the love story would get lost in the ghost story. However, they manage to convey both the sweetness and the horror of the tale without compromising either.If you get the chance, I highly recommend this film.
