Plot

Three years after the death of Yam on summer of 1972, in October 1975 Yak still relentlessly hunts the black spirit who killed his sister. Despite his family's efforts to convince him to stop seeking revenge on the black spirit, Yak remains stubborn, determined to track it down, fearing that the ghost will return to harm the remaining members of his family.

Yak follows the mysterious death of a newborn, discovered in a newspaper article, and finds clues leading him to the fact that the black spirit is being controlled by a powerful shaman named Puang, who fled to hide in the Dong Khomot, a forest filled with mystical and harmful supernatural beings. Yak must confront malevolent spirits and dangers around him in order to defeat the black spirit, ensuring it never returns to harm his family again.

Meanwhile, Yad is about to marry Pradit, and the family is preparing for their wedding, hoping that Yak will return to attend the ceremony and reunite with everyone. Little do they know, the black spirit is about to return, bringing terror to Yak's family once again. Forcing them to come out and deal with this dire situation again.

When they arrived at the hotel for the wedding, the electricity in the hotel suddenly went out for no reason, which was a sign that the black spirit would return again. While Boonyen, Yad and Yee were walking hugging each other on the upper floor of the hotel in fear, suddenly there was the sound of tiles breaking at intervals. Boonyen was controlled by the black spirit. Her was in the fire exit and chased after Yee, along with Chauy who appeared and tricked her into believing that she was Boonyen, her mother. Yee fought by stabbing one of Chauy's eyes with an umbrella. Boonyen brought a pickaxe, wanting to kill her daughter. Yee quickly ran and hid at the table with a picture of a house on Christmas. Yee quickly threw her shoes to another room, making Boonyen think that she was playing hide and seek. Suddenly, the black spirit appeared and yelled at her. She was shocked and ran away. After she was pushed by the black spirit, suddenly, Yad met Yam, who had died three years ago. Yam wanted to take Yad's body, but Yad refused. Yam was pulled by the black spirit, but it did not know that Yak's not dead yet. Yak used a knife to cut off the tongue of the black spirit and took a takrut from Puang and stuck it into the black spirit forehead until it screaming of pain and disintegrated.

Production and release

Although the first installment, at the end, seemed to hint that there would be a sequel, but the production crew had not started on the sequel of Death Whisperer until the first part was a great success at the end of 2023, and the novel Tee Yod... The Ends of a Mad Groan was published shortly after Death Whisperer was released. The film is loosely based on from that novel, the sequel of Tee Yod... Heard a Mad Groan by the same author, Krittanon. The plot comes from the idea of director Taweewat Wanta.

On February 15, 2024, the creators, directors, crew and actors, came together to sacrifice the film before filming began at Channel 3 Studio, Nong Khaem.

Then on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, Channel 3 and M Studio held a press conference on business cooperation in the creation of two movies set to be released this year: Death Whisperer 2, which is scheduled to be released during end of the year is on October 10, 2024, and Manaman starring Naphat Siangsomboon, which is scheduled to be released in August.

A 35-second teaser was released on YouTube on July 3, 2024, expected that it will be quite different from the novel version. The official teaser was released on August 8, 2024.

The official trailer was released on September 12, 2024.

A gala premiere was held on October 8, 2024, two days before the nationwide screening, at Suralai Hall, 7th floor, Iconsiam.

After 7 days of release, the film has grossed ฿450 million nationwide On the first day of its release, the film earned ฿80 million nationwide, making it the highest-grossing Thai film in history on its first day of release. After 9 days, it has already generated over ฿550 million in nationwide revenue. and grossed ฿172.89 million in combined receipts in Metropolitan Bangkok and Chiang Mai alone, becoming the highest-grossing domestic film of the year and fourth-highest grossing domestic film of all time.

In Vietnam, Death Whisperer 2 was released on October 18, 2024, setting a record for the highest advance booking with a total of over 30,000 tickets sold, and also grossed ฿13 million on its first day, the highest record among all Thai films released there.

The film is inspired by Sam Raimi's Evil Dead franchise, just like the precursor. However, Death Whisperer 2 is quite different from Death Whisperer. It has many action scenes and is so continuous that it can be classified as an action horror film. This was the idea of Nadech Kugimiya, the leading actor himself during the script meeting between the production crew and the cast, where Nadech himself mentioned that he wanted to play an action film.

One of the characters that everyone talked about when it was over was Sem, who is known as the necromancer of Laplae. He made a grand debut but died so easily. Sem is portrayed by Somjai Janmoontree, a top-notch stuntman in Thailand who has starred in many films and television dramas. He is the first generation student of the late legendary martial arts actor Panna Rittikrai. While the character of Khom, a northern-speaking porter, is starred by Hernfa Lannathai, a Lanna folk singer and comedian. The scene where Yak and Sarge Paphan talk to Luechai in a traditional coffee shop in Tha It (Uttaradit town) was actually filmed in Uttaradit province.

The king cobra, the tutelary of the forest who did not allow Yak's party to enter the depths of the Dong Khamot, was a real snake. The scenes in Dong Khamot was filmed in a real forest, so filming team had to use the day for night technique because of the limited time. The scene where Puang emerges from the swamp was filmed at Rayong Botanical Garden, Klaeng district, Rayong province. The scene where Yee is possessed by the black spirit and pulls out her own tooth, that is actually the tooth of Natcha Nina Jessica Padowan, the young actress who plays Yee. Because at that time, her baby tooth was about to fall out. The blood that appeared in the scene was real blood.

In mid-late November 2024, the end of the program, the ticket price will be reduced to only ฿69.
