Bangkok Haunted US
Three women converge in a Bangkok pub to share individual tales of the supernatural. Drinks flow, secrets are revealed and a trio of stories illuminates what looms on The Other Side.
Part One: Legend of the Drum
Youthful antiques dealer Jieb is intrigued when she mysteriously receives a decades-old drum. Soon afterward, Jieb is plagued by disturbing dreams and the haunting murmurs of a disembodied female voice. Convinced that the drum is the catalyst for these strange occurrences, Jieb sets out to discover the origin of the instrument - only to be confronted by horrific realizations about herself.
Part Two: Black Magic Woman
Tired of single life in the big city, Bangkok beauty Pan longs for the happiness of true romance. Her prayers seem answered when she partakes of an exotic elixir called "Black Magic Woman". After just a few small dabs, Pan has no trouble attracting the man of her dreams, but what starts as affection quickly spirals into obsession, and Pan learns the price of becoming truly irresistible.
Part Three: Revenge
Nop is a hard working police cadet unable to shake the untimely death of an attractive woman named Gunya. While his superiors rule her hanging a suicide, Nop is convinced otherwise and pursues his own investigation.
