Narok (2005)
8/10
An Interesting Visual Concept of Hell
28 July 2012
While traveling during the night, the Mask Mass Production van driven by Lae hits a bus and the driver and passengers awake in hell. Art, Ja, Chod, Oon, Kim, Uncle Tao and Lae are surrounded by demons that force to follow them through an inhospitable land to meet Satan. They learn that they will be judged and punished in accordance with their sins. However Art sneaks and finds a place were he sees that all of them are in coma in a hospital; therefore they might have a chance to escape from hell. But the sinners will have no chance to return before they are tortured for their sins. Will they have chance to live their lives?

"Narok" is an underrated Thai film with an interesting visual concept of hell. I have glanced at other reviews and I found funny to read that the film is "moralist". If Uncle Tao and the teenagers are in hell, of course is because of their sins. The characters are intentionally not well developed since the screenplay discloses their sins when they die and have to stay in hell to pay for what they did in their lives. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Inferno" ("Hell")
