Hoon Payon

synopsis

Tham travels a long way to meet his brother, Tee who is a monk. At the temple on Koh Donsingtham, he meets Jate, a sculptor who uses spells on his payon dolls. Tham has heard a rumor that Monk Tee has run away after killing the previous abbot, but Tham doesn`t believe that his brother is capable of killing anyone. He also questions the villagers` faith in the Doll of Great-Grandfather Singtham. He sees it as blind superstition rather than spiritual protection. Then, a series of vicious events terrorises the village. A woman has gone missing. Dead bodies pile up. Worst, the Doll of the Great-Grandfather is destroyed. The villagers are seething with rage and prepare a ritual to curse and hunt down the knife-wielding culprit.
