action
A seven-member group of Thai documentary collides with their minibus on the way to the next location with an oncoming truck. The drunken driver of the van still died at the scene, the unwary occupants of the minibus are, however, seriously injured taken to the nearest hospital, where she became comatose patients to the Intensive care unit . The treating doctors fight for the lives of the accident victims, the souls of the casualties wander unnoticed down into Buddhist hell; however, the “sinners” are not even expected.
A little later the six young people and their older uncle wake up in a desolate and strange landscape. Demonic beings and torturers rule this world. They torture, abuse and mutilate thousands and thousands of “swarms of sinners” almost non-stop with an unimagined brutality that manifests itself in the explicit and detailed use of force. The astonishment is great at first, as everyone involved had their own little secrets during their lifetime and accumulates bad karma . For example, the selfish Chot cheats on his pregnant girlfriend Ja with production assistant Kim, and the uncle is an alcoholic tyrant. Only the young, selfless kind seems to be free from guilt.
After the initial shock they realize that they are in hell, although they have not yet blessed the temporal blessing. Nevertheless, the ruler of hell does not want to let those present go - the death of Kim and Art is not foreseen, they are allowed to leave hell - while the others are to atone for their earthly mistakes. The rebellious kind, who obviously has feelings for the pregnant Ja, does not want to submit to fate without a fight, although he could escape the inhospitable place. Chased by a hellish armies, he first frees his companions in order to go with them to the exit of the underworld, into the so-called "waiting room".
The group is severely decimated on their flight. After some effort, they finally manage to escape. Ultimately, only Art, Ja, and Aon survive.
Reviews
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was a "lousy violent trash" . The "cheap remake of Nobuo Nakagawa's classic" Hell "(1960)" did not deal " pseudo-philosophically with the various circles of Buddhist hell" , but placed "stations on the display of excesses of torture" .
