“I sat down to watch the 2014 Thai horror comedy u0026quot;Make Me Shudder 2u0026quot; (aka u0026quot;Mathayom pak ma tha Mae Naku0026quot;) after having seen the 2013 first movie and actually enjoying that quite a bit.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWell, while u0026quot;Make Me Shudder 2u0026quot; was based on the Thai tale of Mae Nak, this movie just failed to cut it; it simply didnu0026#39;t have what was needed to live up to the first movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe comedy in the movie felt too forced and it was right there in your face throughout most of the movie, so the horror aspect of this sequel took a step back in lieu of the comedy being the focal point. That was a shame, in my opinion, especially since director Poj Arnon just didnu0026#39;t manage to deliver properly. The comedy was just taking up too much of the screen time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow, I enjoy the tale of Mae Nak, and there are some pretty nice Thai horror movies that delve into the tale quite nicely. So I must admit that I was thrilled when I learned that u0026quot;Make Me Shudder 2u0026quot; was going to be set around that tale. Just a shame that the movie failed to be impressive.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt was nice to see the cast return to the sequel, however, to reprise the quirky characters from the first movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, then u0026quot;Make Me Shudder 2u0026quot; was watchable, for sure, but it wasnu0026#39;t up to the level of the first movie. I am rating it a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.”
