Yak must confront malevolent spirits and dangers around him in order to defeat the ghost spirit, ensuring it never returns to harm his family again.

The film is inspired by Sam Raimi's Evil Dead franchise, just like the precursor. However, Death Whisperer 2 is quite different from Death Whisperer. It has many action scenes and is so continuous that it can be classified as an action horror film. This was the idea of Nadech Kugimiya, the leading actor himself during the script meeting between the production crew and the cast, where Nadech himself mentioned that he wanted to play an action film. One of the characters that everyone talked about when it was over was Sem, who is known as the necromancer of Laplae. He made a grand debut but died so easily. Sem is performed by Somjai Janmoontree, a top-notch stuntman in Thailand who has starred in many films and television dramas. He is the first generation student of the late legendary martial arts actor Panna Rittikrai. While the character of Khom, a northern-speaking porter, is starred by Hernfa Lannathai, a Lanna folk singer and comedian. The king cobra, the tutelary of the forest who did not allow Yak's party to enter the depths of the Dong Khamot, was a real snake. The scenes in Dong Khamot was filmed in a real forest, so filming team had to use the day for night technique because of the limited time. The scene where Puang emerges from the swamp was filmed at Rayong Botanical Garden, Klaeng district, Rayong province. The scene where Yee is possessed by the black spirit and pulls out her own tooth, that is actually the tooth of Natcha Nina Jessica Padowan, the young actress who plays Yee. Because at that time, her baby tooth was about to fall out. The blood that appeared in the scene was real blood. In mid-late November 2024, the end of the program, the ticket price will be reduced to only ฿69.
