I sat down to watch the 2005 Thai horror mystery "Long Khong" (aka "Art of the Devil II") again here in 2023. I had watched it once before, sometime around late in the 2000s, but I had entirely forgotten about the movie aside from the title. So as I had the opportunity again here in 2023 to watch it once again, of course I did so.
And there was a reason for why I had forgotten about this movie; it was so unfathomably boring and stale. The storyline in the movie, as written by Kome Kongkiat Komesiri, Yosapong Polsap and Art Thamtrakul, was a swing and a miss. The storyline was boring, uneventful and rather generic. And that made for a dull and tedious movie experience.
The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, just a shame that the actors and actresses had next to nothing worthwhile to bring to the screen.
There was a few noteworthy things in the movie, but they were few and far in between, and that was hardly sufficient to sit through 1 hour and 40 minutes of otherwise stale entertainment.
Visually then "Long Khong" wasn't impressive. There were a couple of good scenes, but it was simply not enough to alleviate for all the shortcomings of the movie.
My rating of "Long Khong" lands on a three out of ten stars. I guess the Devil's art is expressed in sheer boredom.
