Wooden Buddha

конспект

Paeng, a passionate archaeologist devoted to the study of ancient art and culture, leads an excavation at a significant archaeological site. There, she uncovers the head of an ancient Bodhisattva statue, a potential historical breakthrough. Meanwhile, her fiancé, Inspector Ek, a seasoned investigator, is assigned to solve the shocking murder of Det, an influential lawyer, who was found brutally slain in his own home. What’s even more terrifying than the murder is the presence of a wooden Buddha at the crime scene. The horror deepens when Ek reveals that this is not the first case—before this, Adisorn, a renowned businessman, was also found dead under eerily similar circumstances, with an ancient wooden Buddha placed beside his body. Paeng dismisses the notion of supernatural involvement and tries to seek logical explanations through archaeology—until she discovers that these wooden Buddhas might be linked to an ancient ritual involving human sacrifice. As the evidence mounts, she begins to suspect that these cases are not driven by the supernatural but by a sinister mind using belief as a weapon. As the investigation unfolds, Veera, a key associate of the murdered lawyer Det and a businessman involved in an energy project, mysteriously receives a similar wooden Buddha. Soon after, he exhibits disturbing symptoms and meets a gruesome death, just like the previous victims. Realizing time is running out, Paeng and Ek must uncover the truth before the next victim falls. Their search leads them to a tragic past—Paeng’s own parents, whom she believed died in an accident, might have also been victims of the wooden Buddha curse! As she confronts the horrifying truth, she realizes that she might be the missing key to solving this mystery. Can she prove that the wooden Buddha is merely a tool of a murderer, or is it a malevolent entity selecting its own victims? And as the dark secrets unravel, will Paeng escape the curse, or will she become the next offering to the vengeful spirit within the wooden Buddha? “Some things should remain buried forever…”
