A very average ghost story with the second half a little more sinister than the first. Quite a typical, predictable Horror in most senses, with the odd good moment thrown in. Not all bad, but certainly nothing special. A couple of slightly eerie moments towards the end, but no...( read more)
I really liked this one, though not as much as the classic Thai film, Nang Nak (not listed on Flixster). This one has a couple suprisingly gory kills and a interesting story involving the excellent Nang Nak ghost story. Recommended to those not sick of asian ghost stories.
I suppose as long as I find the spirits I've seen in several Asian horror films frightening (the pale face, long dark hair, black eyes and mouth), I will continue to watch the Asian horror films. That being said, Mae Nak was as scary as any of them. The story was not, by any me...( read more)

This story tells of a village girl whose husband went to war at the time she's pregant. Her husband was badly injured and did not return for months. The poor girl died when she's giving birth, their baby did not survive either. The dead girl could not go away because she love her husband too much, and she blamed the villagers for her death. She began to kill the villagers and those who told her husband she is dead.

Great storyline.
