    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)t a particularly scary film.

    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)ans, original, but the characters of the young newlyweds were likeable, and we saw enough of their friend and family life to care about what happened to them.

    A cool story, but it really wasn't put together all that well.

    The premise was fine for a good ghost story, but the reality is not quite as promising.
    The B-movie style effects are on occasion quite good, but both the death scenes and the ghost's appearance fluctuate from effective to hilarious due to the very obvious and unrealistic CGI (t...( read more)o be honest, I think they could've had better success with prosthetics and models).
    Personally I found most of the film quite boring - the first half seems mainly to be a chronicle of how this nice couple are being ripped off at every turn, and even the ghost killing the con artists off via elaborate set piece didn't revive my interest. My interest picked up again slightly towards the end, but all in all I don't feel that it was worth the effort despite the promise that is buried within it.
    According to reviews, Nang Nak, a film of the original legend, is miles better. I imagine that anyone who loved that film would be disappointed with this.

    The Ghost of Mae Nak is based on an old Thai legend of a woman who comes back to get revenge on a newly wed couple with the same name as her and her also dead husband.

    It was a good movie. The couple was sickenly cute though. "Nak loves Mak." "Mak loves Nak." Puke-city! The ghos...( read more)t was pretty decent. It was your typical asian ghost: long black hair, white face, black mouth. Not too scary.

    No real surprises in this flick. It was just a good waste of time. Rent it if you are into ghosts and moderately bored.

    Phillipino/Indonesian movies are an oxymoron.
