What did I watch?

Post by Anneal »

Hello Everyone,

While on my vacation in Cambodia during Khmer New Year I watched some TV. My wife was falling asleep so I was narrating what I thought was happening on the show. She was thoroughly amused, and a cute memory. So I would kind of like to know the name of the movie or show.

It takes place in a village. There is a woman who seems to be cursed/undead/witch. Everyone is scared of her except her boyfriend who she either enchanted or just never notices. The boyfriend has tattoos over most of his body and a midget friend that seems to be always warning him about the girl. The boyfriend seemingly believes no one in the village and defends her when needed.

That's until her head falls off and he realizes everything everyone was saying is true.

He goes to join up with the villagers who constructed a barrier against evil with an elder/spiritual man. She follows the boyfriend. They attempt all sorts of attacks but do nothing. She acts upset and like she is going to leave after a long speech from the boyfriend but runs back at him and they end in a freeze frame of that.

Also it had all sorts of sound effects that sounded more like they belonged in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

This was the best I could guess at what was going on because it was not in english and had no english subtitles. I tried googling it but found nothing. I tried asking a waitress but apparently there is no Khmer word for cursed or zombie.

Also we had a wonderful time in Cambodia thanks to information searched on here and on Google.

Haha, that describes about half the movies here or in Thailand. Ghost movies.

Yeah which is why my google searches were ineffective.

I thought the midget would help the movie stand out. He was bearded and had shoulder length hair if that helps.

Another odd thing I remembered was they blackened their teeth.

I ran across that movie when I was searching a few weeks ago. I think the show or movie I watched was older. Also no kids just a bearded midget.

I appreciate the attempt thought.

Understood and I appreciate it. When used to search through Google images it shows mostly images from a newer Khmer movie with the word you have me as the title.

If it's a Khmer TV series (not a thai/flip/Indian dub), and reasonably recent/current, go to the websites for the local TV channels and search through the trailers for their dramas.

There's PNN, CTN, Hang Meas, Bayon, and a few other channels. Google will know the rest.
