Question: Build a movie plot around this: How long ago did the curse begin? 800 Years ago
Answer:
Prologue: For many centuries, phi song neng (vampire spirits who havevowed never to drink human blood) have lived among the villages of the FarEast. One day, over 800 years ago, a young, human warlord named Niran fell inlove with a beautiful song neng woman named Sang. Niran wanted Sang for hisown, so he killed her husband and son. In her pain and rage, Sang attackedNiran during a Songkran []New Year] solar eclipse, turning him into a vampire. From Niranhave come many jai tham (vampires who drink human blood and kill humans forpleasure). Only Sang can end the jai tham's nightly attacks on humans. Doingso, however, will end the entire bloodline and turn every vampire, song neng aswell as jai tham, into mere mortals again. Since the coming Songkran festivalwill feature the first solar eclipse in 800 years, Sang intends to kill herselfby exposing herself to the sun's rays at the end of the eclipse and, thus, wipeout all the vampires in Thailand.Connor [Colin Egglesfield] and Amanda [Meredith Monroe] are vacationing in Thailand during this year's Songkranfestival. Connor, trained since childhood in Muay Thai (Thai boxing), takesAmanda to see a match. However, Amanda cannot take the brutality and goes backto their hotel alone. On the way, she gets lost in the Phang Nga market, and MrNice Guy [Dom Hetrakul] offers to show her the way to her hotel. He leads her on a short cutdown a deserted alley, then suddenly turns into the vampire Niran, drinking her bloodand carrying her off on a motorcycle. Connor tries to follow, but he is stoppedby another vampire, obviously intent on killing him. Just as the vampire isabout to succeed, a bald-headed man appears and chops off the vampire'shead. Connor begs for his help finding Amanda, but he warns Connor toleave Thailand immediately and threatens to kill Connor if he follows him. Ofcourse, Connor steathfully (i.e., ten steps behind) follows Kiko [Roger Yuan] home to KongSai House.When the police refuse to consider Amanda missing until 48 hours...
