A Thai box-office juggernaut, The Undertaker 2: World After Death returns to the wildly popular Thibaan Universe, the beloved screen world rooted in the folk life, humor, language, and spirit beliefs of Thailand’s Isan northeast. (Newcomers can step right in to this latest installment.) After the deaths that closed the previous film, village life has begun to settle down, until Yai Joi is struck by lightning and impossibly revived. For Thup, still raw with grief, her return looks like more than a miracle. It may be a way to reach the afterlife. Working in the regional Isan language and steeped in local beliefs about death and spirits, director Thiti Srinuan turns a supernatural premise into a funny, eerie, and unexpectedly moving crowd-pleaser.
