Pee Mak Phra Kanong expands the original story to include four of Man's friends who return with him from the war. In this new version of the legend, it is his fellow soldiers, rather than Mak himself, who discover Man' s secret.The story has undergone a genre conversion: Pee Mak Phra Kanong is more of a comedy than a horror movie. Nak doesn't kill anyone this time, and Mak's mates provide some broad humor.
