Plot

A sequel in name only to a 2004 film ("Khon len khong"), "Art of the Devil 2" is about a teacher, portrayed by Napakpapha Nakprasitte, who has a cruel prank played on her by some students. She then turns to black magic to exact revenge.

Nominations

Napakpapha (better known in Thailand as Mamee) was a nominee for best actress for the Bangkok Critics Assembly's 2005 awards. She was also nominated as best supporting actress for the Thailand National Film Awards. This nomination was protested by Mamee and Five Star Production, who asserted that Mamee should have been nominated in the best actress category. Five Star then boycotted the awards ceremony.
