Every man in the village loves a young lady called Nak. Young men Mak, Tit Man and the local subdistrict headman's son are part of the suitors but Nak loves Mak. Tit Man tries to forget his discomfiture with another lady called Lamchoon but to no avail so he leaves the village. During a temple festival (งานวัด), where Nak was making merit (ทำบุญ), the local subdistrict headman's son (ลูกกำนันเศรษฐี) fights over Nak with Mak. It turns to be a general fight. Mak promises to marry Nak. On the following day a wedding procession takes place. Similar to movie "The old scar" (แผลเก่า), this 1959 version highlights the rural life with fishing in rice fields and buffaloes. The main actor is the strong and muscular สุรสิทธิ์ สัตยวงษ์. When Nak is pregnant (แผลท้อง), Mak is so happy. But he does receive a letter as he has been selected by lottery to be a soldier in Bangkok. Pa is staying with Nak. The local subdistrict headman's son tries his chance again while Mak is away but Tit Man, going back from Bangkok, helps Nak to chase him. In Bangkok, a woman Chomanak tries to seduce Mak but he is faithful to Nak. Nak dies while giving birth. In this "Mae Nak" 1959 version, the part when Nak is still human is much longer (49 mn) than other "Mae Nak" movies focusing on the ghostly part. During funerals, strong wind and dog howlings happen. People are afraid of ghosts. A local master (อาจารย์) called Thong wishes to make magic filters (ยาเสน่ห์) with Nak's corpse oil (น้ำมันพราย) as it has strong power but he gets strangled while trying to get oil by putting a candle under Nak's chin. Nak is back home waiting for Mak. Nak is now a Phi Tai Hong Klom (ผีตายโหงทองกลม), powerful spirit as it is includes the spirit of unborn baby. The local subdistrict headman's son tries his chance again but this time he loses life. Lor Tok plays a dishonest sorcerer master again asking his acolytes to wear fake ghosts clothes but of course real Mae Nak ghost is coming and all flee. Mak is back home. While preparing food for Mak, a lemon falls on below floor. Mak sees Nak's arm streching out to get the lemon. His child has a demon face. The food is only made of salted fish (ปลาร้า). As he just drank alcohol, he believes his vision is altered. During night time, Nak takes appereance of an ugly ghost again. Mak flees to Tit Man's house. Tit Man confirms that Nak is now a ghost (วิญญาณแรง). Nak is unhappy with Mak's friends as she sees them as a hindrance to her love. A new master helps to neutralize Nak. She refuses to die and birth again (วิญญาณเกิดใหม่) because she loves Mak so much. Love is not possible between ghost and human. In this Mae Nak version, the master succeeds to neutralize Mae Nak and have her spirit emprisonned in an earthen jar closed by a sacred cloth. In other versions, only a Buddhist monk can stop Mae Nak as masters are always useless charlatans. Mae Nak Prakanong (1959) starred sexy actress Preeya Rungruang, while the more recent Nang Nak (1999) featured the actress Intira Jaroenpura, thus shifting the image of female ghosts to a more realistic and humanistic one. It is a typical 1960s movie with dog howling, sorcerer (หมอผี) used, rural background. The picture is decolored and as it is a former 16mm movie, it features a dubbed soundtrack. Mae Nak movie first version was played during Preeya Roongrueng's funerals as an ultimate homage.

The food is spoiled. Before sleeping, Mak wants to hold his child. He still doesn't realise that his wife is a ghost.

Thai movie แม่นาคพระโขนง was released in year 1978 and lasts 1h50mn. Preeya Roongrueng already played Mae Nak role in year 1959. She remained the most famous actress for this role. The 1959 version was very successful. It made more than 1M Baht in 1959, i.e. a huge amount for that period. So for this 1978 version, the movie director reused Preeya Roongrueng again hoping for a similar success. But 19 years have passed. In 1959 Preeya was 19 years old. For 1978 version, she was 38 years old. Preeya mentioned she was getting fatter for the role but it didn't matter as she was playing a ghost! The 1978 movie trailer is also making a reference to the 1959 version. It is Thot Kathin festival (ทอดกฐิน) so lady Somjit Sapsamruey is coming with her two daughters, i.e. Nak and Jampee (ตรีสุคนธ์ ยุกตะนันท์). Phi Mak (Sombat Methanee) and his younger brother Man (Somphob Benjatikul) love the same woman Nak (Preeya Roongrueng). Tui (Rong Kaomulkadee) is playing comic role as usual. Man loves Nak despite she is older than him. Pleum, subdistrict headman’s son (ลูกกำนัน), has also interest into Nak. Mak asks Nak for wedding. Disappointed, his brother Man leaves for Bangkok to work there. Nak is pregnant since 2 months. Mak has to leave for Bangkok as he was selected to do his military duty as a soldier. Pleum (Dam Datsakorn) comes to harass Nak but Man is helping her. Naowarat Yooktanun, daughter of officer (นายทหาร), likes Mak but he misses his wife (ห่วงเมีย) and wishes to go home. While delivering, Nak dies (ตายทั้งกลม). Comic actor Thep Thienchai is present at the funerals. A master (อาจารย์) tries to get chin oil but he just makes Nak angry and gets strangled. Nak is upset that Naowarat has interest into Mak. Uten Boonyong wants to hire master Lor Tok to get rid of Nak. It is a complete failure as Lor Tok flees away. At nighttime, Pleum faces Nak. Mak is back home. Things get weird with Mak seeing Nak’s arm extension to reach a lemon fallen under the house, food having pla ra taste, baby having Songthong face... Realising she is a ghost (ผี), Mak flees from home and goes to Man's home. Man explains what happened to Mak. They take refuge in the village Buddhist temple. A new master is called and warns that Nak is very powerful (วิญญาณดู่มาก). To neutralize Nak, the master gives a sacred thread to put around her neck. The master captures her spirit into a pot sealed with a sacred cloth. She has to accept her death (หมดเวรหมดกรรม). Mak promises to meet her during next life. The pot is thrown away in the river.

The movie is the second opus of "Mae Nak" (แม่นาค) shot in the same year 1978. Life has finally regained after the first opus and Mak, former Mae Nak's husband, has new interest with one young lady. An old fisherman uncovers the pot made of clay, in which the Buddhist monk kept Mae Nak spirit. It was lying on the bottom of the river. As the fisherman opens it, the spirit is freed to roam again. Mae Nak is looking for her husband and remove roofs from village homes to check inside. Same as many 1970 Thai horror movies, Fx effects are poor. Such movie includes typical repetitive jokes about unaware villagers talking to ghosts and then fleeing when they discover they are talking to real ghosts, or a joke when many men can hide in a water jar and then flee when a ghost is entering also, or comical psychics (หมอผี) unable to chase away ghosts whatever they are Thai, Indian or Chinese. Finally only a Buddhist monk novice can stop Mae Nak. Once again Nak and Mak promise to love each other in next life (ถ้าชาติหน้ามีจริงให้เราไปเกิดใช้ชีวิตรวมกันอีก). Mae Nak movies are famous as more than 15 remakes have been done and Mae Nak story is part of Thai culture but this remake doesn't bring any added value despite the presence of Sombat Methanee.

Last century, during the reign of King Mongkut (1851-1868), a woman called "NAK" was married to a man called "TID MAK". They moved into a house in Bangkok's Phra Khanong district. After a while her husband was called off to war. Alas she was already pregnant. While her husband was away, she died with the baby still inside her body. So as Thai people believe, a woman who died with her baby creates a powerful spirit called "PHI TAI HONG THONG KLOM" (ผีตายโหงทองกลม). She became a ghost. As she still loved her husband deeply, she took a form of human being and waited for "Tid Mak" to return. Her husband didn't know anything about his wife's death. So when he came back home, his wife was waiting for him. Many persons did warn him that his wife was dead and that he was living with a ghost but he did not believe them. One day when "MAE NAK" was preparing the dinner and her husband bathing himself in the bathroom, a lemon fell from her hand. As the house was a Thai traditional house, it was built on piles and so the lemon fell on the ground 2 meters lower than the house's floor. So the ghost "MAE NAK" made her arm longer in order to get it. But her husband saw that, he understood that his wife was now a ghost. He managed to flee from the house and took refuge inside a Buddhist temple. "MAE NAK" terrorised the local population as an expression of her anger with them for helping her husband. Thanks to a monk, the spirit was imprisoned in an earthen pot and thrown in the river. It is one of the the biggest success in Thai cinema (it grossed more than 150 million baht in Thailand). It is the story of "MAE NAK PHRA KHANONG" (แม่นาคพระโขนง). The spirit "MAE NAK" (แม่นาก) is not a dreadful spirit. She kills only to keep her husband. The love of "MAE NAK" towards her husband is beyond death. Many scenes are shot at night time with no additional lighting so making an eerie atmosphere. This movie has won awards for the best director, best art director, and best sound at Asia-Pacific Film Festival in 1999. Since the beginning of the Thai movie industry in 1923, the story of "MAE NAK" has been made and remade 15 times over. It is a modern remaking of a traditional tale, which evokes nostalgia (traditional house, buffaloes in field, quiet river...). The Culture Ministry registers 25 Thai classic films each year at the National Film Heritage Registry. This movie is part of the 25 films heritage list announced on 04 October 2014, which is Thai Movies Conservation Day.

Characters are similar to traditional theatre "Like" (ลิเก), i.e. the leading actor (พระเอก), the leading actress (นางเอก), the jealous girl (นางเอก), the funny and hilarious friends (ตัวตลก). There are always comic pursuits between ghost and actors in accelerated motion. This horror movie is dedicated for countryside spectators with a story happening in rural village. Bangkokian people are seen as outsiders and are not trust. They are well known to have seduce girls then dropped them. Pla Pleung had some concerns on doctor Ret. "Baan Phi Pop 1" was even shot in 16mm format so reduce the costs. Dubbing was done later in studio.

The second opus of บ้านผีปอบ continues with the same characters. The hunter is killed. New murders happen and intestines are always missing inside the bodies. Those murders are done by the village head's daughter, Kradeung (กระดึง), who is possessed by a "Phi Pop" (ผีปอบ) spirit. It takes appereance of Pla Pleung to accuse her. A second "Phi Pop" spirit is also hanging around. It has the apperance of a middle age woman, Ya Yip (หยิบ). The two "Phi Pop" are fighting together over the village territory possession. Villagers now know that Kradeung is a "Phi Pop". They organize a "Phi Pop" hunt that turns to a fiasco. A powerful sorcerer (หมอผี) comes to the village. It gets rid of Ya Yip "Phi Pop" first but fails with Kradeung. Finally the doctor Ret and Pla Pleung succeed to remove the "Phi Pop" ghost from Kradeung body but the second "Phi Pop" is still hanging around... Same as the first opus, this movie mixes horror, comic and a few salacious jokes in a rural context. "Phi Pop" is a traditional ghost in villages so many gags are based on rural life, i.e. men drinking together at night time and believing ghost visions are due to alcohol, woman wearing a tight traditional sarong (ผ้าถุง) and bathing in a pond with male villagers dreaming the sarong will slip down, classic gag when actors chased by a ghost enter water jars and exit from other jars... There are always comic pursuits between ghost and actors in accelerated motion. This opus contains bad cuts or maybe some censure. The first opus was shot in 7 days but the further opus were shot within 10 to 20 days.

Same actors from "Baan Phi Pop 1 and 2" are playing in this Phi Pop movie. Rich trader people (คนเศรษฐี) want to buy land from grant-mother Chom but she refuses. She is living with her daughter Kaew (Trirak Rakkarndee). Ruffians are sent to expel them but they are killed by the grant-mother Chom, who is a "Phi Pop" ghost. Many deaths happen in the village due to the presence of a "Phi Pop" ghost. Villagers are fed up and decide to use a sorcerer (หมอผี) to exorcise the village. The grant-mother Chom is defeated by the sorcerer and dies. Before dying, the "Phi Pop" spirit is transferred from the grant-mother to Kaew. Phalat (Ekapan Banleurit), the new village headman (กำนัน), promises to take care of Kaew. The rich trader tries to abuse Kaew but he gets killed by the "Phi Pop" ghost also. The son of the rich family has a poor girlfriend, Plaew, from the village. She is now pregnant so the son forces her to abort and causes Plaew's death. Being pursued by villagers, the "Phi Pop" ghost transfers from Kaew to Plaew. Plaew kills her bad boyfriend. Phalat has difficulty to reason villagers wishing to exercise their law versus the official law. They use a sorcerer again but this time it fails. In a hurry ending, another master neutralizes the "Phi Pop", who transfers again to another lady from the village. This movie uses same recipe as "BAAN PHI POP" (บ้านผีปอบ) movie serie, i.e. a mix of horror, comedy, a tint of salacious jokes. It opposes the village world (Chinese rich trader unable to speak Thai properly, watching movie in temple...) versus the Bangkok world (stereotype and mannerism from ผู้ดีจากกรุงเทพ...). This B type movie uses strong side lights and smoke for night scary scenes. The poor editing jumps easily from the night scene to day scene in a same sequence.

New characters are introduced as actors Trirak Rakkarndee and Ekapan Banleurit are no longer part of the story. The movie highlights the opposition of villagers cured by local sorcerer (หมอผีคล้าย) and villagers cured by Bangkok doctors (หมอฝรั่ง), who offer free service. The local sorcerer wants to kill Ya Yip (หยิบ), the Phi pop spirit" roaming inside the village. But the Bangkok doctors protect Ya Yip believing the local sorcerer is crazy and bring her back inside the village. There is conflict between the local sorcerer and Bangkok doctors. The local sorcerer wants to keep his influence on the villagers. The daughter of the local sorcerer helps the Bangkokian doctor. Her father has changed his behavior recently being easily angry.

He is diagnosing a malaria case as a spirit possession (ผีเข้า) that needs to be chased (ผีไล่). Finally the local sorcerer flees from the village after stabbing Ya Yip. He was finally also a "Phi pop spirit"... Recipes are same as the previous movies. Many continuous funny but tiring and repetitives chases happen between Ya Yip "phi pop" and the villagers. Single villagers prefer watching the lady in swimming suit than the lady in sarong. The movie is still targeted for rural audience but with more and more urban life and taste influence. Funny comedian Kiet Kijcharouen (เกียรติ กิจเจริญ) is now here. He also participated to the complete Boonchu (บุญชู) movies serie.

The fourth opus of "Baan Phi Pop" (บ้านผีปอบ) continues with the same characters. Some students come to stay in a countryside house taken care by Ya Yip (หยิบ) and the local sorcerer. The students almost get all killed except three who succeed to flee. In the village a lady called Mae Srinuan gets interest from a few old bachelors. She is seen as a "Phi Pop" ghost but some bachelors don't believe in it. Mae Srinuan kills a young girl, called Tien, who was waiting for her boyfriend at night time. The three remaining stranded students arrive in the village. One of the students has the same face as the young villager girl who just died so it creates confusion in the village. The students help the Bangkokian doctors coming to the village to treat local villagers. During a last fight between Mae Srinuan and the local sorcerer, the local sorcerer gets stabbed and is reduced to ashes. Nothing new in this fourth opus with similar recipes as previous movies. Old "Phi Pop" characters die and new "Phi Pop" appears. Only Ya Yip remains. Similar pursuits in accelerated motion with various gags still happen. Villagers wear armours to prevent "Phi pop" ghosts eating their intestines. Villagers also use guns loaded with syringe to put to sleep Ya Yip but they confuse anesthetic and methamphetamine (ยาบ้า) so making Ya Yip overexcited! Each movie opus brings modern items in the village such as skateboard. Sometimes the movie serie looks like a cartoon where "phi pop" ghosts chase and try to catch the villagers and Bangkokian doctors. The villagers and Bangkokian doctors have to use more and more clever tricks and technics to escape the ghosts. The ghosts also try various technics to catch them and even use modern vehicles (skateboard, flying bicycle...) to run faster.

The district has gone through some modernisation as an hospital has been built. Ya Yip (หยิบ), the "Phi Pop" ghost, is resting at the hospital and performs a rampage with an axe. A "Phi Pop" (ผีปอบ) is an evil spirit believed to possess a person to eat his intestine while also forcing him to seek and consume raw animal organs and meat at night time. One of the hospital nurse, Kamthong, visits a village lady (Srinuan), who is sick and has the reputation to be a "Phi Pop" ghost (ปอบ) also. The village headman (ผู้ใหญ่บ้าน) wants to marry Srinuan (เราอยู่ได้เพราะว่าความหวัง). Following nuisances due to Ya Yip, the village headman is looking for a master (อาจารย์) to chase her (ไล่ปอบ). A charlatan arrives in the village. At night time Srinuan really becomes a "Phi Pop" ghost and kills some villagers to eat their intestine. As usual in Baan Phi Pop (บ้านผีปอบ) movies, there are continuous pursuits between Ya Yip, the "Phi Pop" ghost, and the villagers. This opus continues to mix gory horror and gags. New and old gags (Women in tight sarong - ผ้าถุง) spurt continuously. New weapons such as boomerang, ladder, flying bike, floating bike, flying ghost using fans as wings and a montgolfier are introduced. Many gags are similar to cartoon gags. There is good imagination from scenarists to find gags. Ya Yip is called ผีบ้า! The village headman refuses to believe that Srinuan is a "Phi Pop" ghost and continues to believe Ya Yip is responsible of the murders. Kamthong's boyfriend, Plung, is worried. Kamthong refuses Plung's request to stop visiting Srinuan as he is worried about a spirit (วิญญาณ) transfer between the two ladies. He decides to enquiry inside Srinuan house. The village headman chases the useless master as he couldn't stop Ya Yip. Plung brings one of the doctor to spy Srinuan at night time. Finally he decides to kidnap Kamthong to protect her.

Baan Phi Pop movies include many sequels. This the 2008 version! 13 previous sequels were shot during years 1989-1995. Actors have changed and famous Thai comics from decade 2000s are part of this movie. In a village there is a local shaman (หมอผี) curing villagers through tough ways (hitting people with stick and hot water to chase spirits). Some modern doctors, invited by the village leader, are coming also to cure villagers through western ways. The shaman’s daughter Shaba likes very much the modern doctor from Bangkok. Traditional village life is shown with Buddhist temple fair, respect for elders (ผู้ใหญ่), villagers meeting at evening time with alcohol (กินเหล้า) for adults... The shaman (อาจารย์) Krai sees the modern doctors as a threat to his business and influence in the village. He sells also various potions (น้ำมันพราย) to some gullible villagers wishing to seduce girls. Krai hits a woman having malaria trying to chase the spirit (ลายผี) as believing she is possessed (ผีเข้า). The modern doctor diagnostics malaria and provides medicine. Yip is Krai's wife. It is still the same actress, who became an iconic actress following these past "Baan Phi Pop" roles. She forgets she was a Phi Pop ghost in the past. Full moon is now coming. Krai wakes up the Phi pop ghost present in Yip’s body. Krai hopes it will make the modern doctors flee. But even Krai cannot control Yip anymore and ask help from the village leader. The last solution is to ask help for the temple abbot (หลวงพ่อ) but it fails also. There is a disappointing end but it lets the movie opened to another sequel! Similar recipes from previous sequels are used here such as the classic sexy scene of the young lady having a bath in a pond using the traditional tight sarong (ผ้าถุง). The 2008 version benefits from a higher budget and features modern countryside and dance music. It is as usual a mix of simple visual gags and light horror. The movie still features similar chasing pursuits in accelerated motion between Yip and the villagers. There are numerous references to the first 13 episodes and also to some western horror movies such as Freddy and Friday 13. The doctor played by Kiet Kijcharouen is now played by a similar fat doctor. Songthong’s son is also playing. A 2011 version is coming soon!

This movie takes place in 1905. Yod is a slave. His girlfriend is called Khun. The master beats Yod because he finds his new wife with Yod. The master's wife, called Nang Neuan, accuses Yod of trying to seduce her but she is the seductress offering sweets (ขนมหวาน). The daughter, called Kalong, tries to protect Yod and asks for forgiveness. Kalong's father wants his daughter to marry a noble man called Bouleut but she doesn't love him. This is the old traditional Thai way, i.e. marry first, be together and then love will come later. The daughter is not willing. Yod and Khun may have bad sins (กรรม) in their previous life as they cannot have happiness together. They have a promise of forever love in front of a Takhian tree. Nang Neuan sends a ruffian to try to rape Khun but Yod protects her. The ruffian is killed so Yod has to flee. Still wishing to hurt Yod, Nang Peuan suggests that Khun becomes the master's mistress (เมียน้อย). Nang Peuan pays mercenaries to catch Yod. They succeed to overcome him. As the next day is end of slavery in Thailand so the master wants to beat him until death today. Khun accepts to become the master's mistress in order to save Yod's life. Later on Yod rejects Khun and breaks up with her accusing her of being unfaithful (หลายใจ). Disappointed and sad over Yod's reaction, Khun hangs up herself at the Takhian tree. Once Yod understands Khun's body sacrifice to save his life, it is unfortunately too late. Kalong puts money in her hands to spend in the death world. She is buried by Yod under the Takhian tree and is not cremated. Some people hear a woman crying near the Takhian tree. Khun is back as a ghost. Villagers get tricked (โดนผีหลอก) by the ghost. The master decides to cut the Takhian tree but the ghost prevents this to happen. The master decides to use a sorcerer (อาจารย์) to cut the tree. He settles a ceremony to call for the ghost (วิธีเรียกผี) but the ghost chases them away and terrorize the master, who has a serious fever. In almost old Thai horror movies, sorcerers are useless comical characters that always fail to chase ghosts. Kalong decides to call a westerner doctor (หมอฝรั่ง) to cure her father as Thai sorcerers (หมอผี) are useless. Yod works now for the westerner doctor and has been trained to be a doctor also. He cures the master and it is a satisfaction as the slave cures his former master. But the master still hates Yod. Another sorcerer is used but he is a charlatan. He tries to catch a fake spirit (ลงหม้อ). The real ghost chases the fake one. Traditional chase in accelerated motion happens between ghost and humans. This is typical from Thai horror movies from 1960s to 1990s. The master defies Khun but gets strangulated and dies. Nang Peuan decides to kill Kalong to get full heritage but Khun protects Kalong and strangulates Nang Peuan. Bouleut is in fact a bad guy that is already married but wants to marry Kalong because she is coming from a rich family. Love story happens between Kalong and Yod. The ghost Khun is now angry with Kalong accusing her to take away Yod from her. They cannot stay together (คนละโลก). A sorcerer helps to chase the ghost by performing a ceremony (พิธีสะกดวิญญาณ) and neutralizing the tree spirit. This two hours length old movie has a new soundtrack including music from Ennio Morricone. Many 1960s movies were shot in 16mm without synchronised sound. The image is damaged but still fine even if some colors are gone. As many horror movies from 1960s to 1990s, it mixes horror and comedy gags.
